[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 37390, member: 13064"] Chris may have a different view, but I think its best to stop the Synthroid. Note it has a 6 day half-life, so you probably want to wait 2 weeks before blood draw to get accurate reading of your true thyroid levels. As for your doctor's desire to check on day 8, just before your next injection. That would be your trough day (lowest level). And is the correct day to check if you are doing weekly injections. This is what all of the clinical guidelines advise, so that is why he is asking for that. But try to explain to him since cypionate peaks at 48-72 hours, and it's half-life is 8 days, the E3.5D schedule is preferred by most experienced TRT users and doctors. Advise him that your level on day 4 when you have your blood drawn is technically your peak level for the week (not trough). Not telling him what you are actually doing will likely confuse the matter. Try to educate him. And send him a link to this thread if he is open to it. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
