[QUOTE="swellco, post: 52978, member: 14314"] Hi, First time post but have been reading extensively on this forum. I have a question regarding the practice of one month follow up labs when first starting TRT. Ive been on TRT For 5 weeks now and I am scheduled for my labs. The place I go to wants to test me 3 days after my injection. This seemed out of most protocol so I asked why and their response was because they want to measure my T when its at the highest. This is the only way they do tests and I have to adhere if I want to modify dosage. Their reasoning being that they want to measure my highest T count because that way they know i have reached the highest point. ? This was coming from one of the nurses. I asked if we can test right before my next injection instead because I want to change my weekly dose to twice a week. My reasoning being that I don't feel too great towards the end of the week right before my next injection. They said no. My current protocol is 125 test cyp on Mondays along with .5 arimidex and 500 HCG 3 days after injection. So my question is, is this normal to test this way? It seems that most test right before their injection. My labs before starting TRT are attached. The clinic tested my T in house at 161. No total T results. Im 49 yo male, 6'1", 215 lbs. Thanks for your time and input. [/QUOTE]
