Lab Timing: Gels and Hcg

galaxy · Apr 5, 2018

Hi all, this forum has been very helpful answering several questions for me on my upcoming TRT protocol. Per another thread that I have going I was recently prescribed HCG. I've confirmed that the ideal timing for drawing labs on gels (which I'm doing) is 2 hours afterwards. What's the ideal time if I layer in HCG 500 IU 2/week injection (Total 1,000 IU/week). Would it be trough so before shot of HCG? Or immediately after HCG injection in order to gauge E2 Conversion? Or midpoint?

Where did you see the info on testing T two hours after gel application? How would that be an accurate reflection of your trough?

Gels and creams you do peak. I was told 4 hours post applcation.

As for HCG I would think reaching steady state trumps any peak or trough HCG has.

Never had any Dr. mention that the two and half years I was on gel/cream. Jeez, the more I find out.....
