Blood test timing

[Antanas Dzukas]

Hello,


What would be the best blood test timing?

I am on transdermal every morning and 250iu HCG on
M,W,F.

i am thinking to give blood 2 hours after transdermal apply and 24 hours after 250iu hcg subq injection.

Thanks for help.

Ideally, one should do a blood draw before applying the transdermal, or say apply your transdermal to your left side of your body and draw blood from the right side or vice-versa.

Never heard about to apply on one side, draw from other. Why?

Also draw before apply just give you the lowest T value, because it will be nearly 24 hours.
i know some doctors ask testing 12h after too see midpoint, some ask 2h after to see top point.

Because if you apply a transdermal first and then do a blood draw (instead of draw first, then apply transdermal) you can easily get a false high T reading on your blood work. So, another workaround is to apply transdermal to one side, draw blood from the other just that one day of your blood work.
