Normal
I understand the "test in the trough" idea. MY reasoning for testing 24 hours after my next injection (which I just took) would be to try to find the maximum T generated before the drop off starts to occur to see if the testicles are still working as intended. (maybe this wouldn't be 24 hours after injection? Maybe I should get the blood work done today?) At this point I just want to verify through blood work that I can actually produce T on my own. Even though my LH was on the lower side of normal this point is kinda still up for debate because of the chemo drugs that I had. The only studies I could find on the subject only talk about immediate (post chemo and about 1 to 2 years later) fertility. Yes, I have felt like crap since I wrapped up chemo but I have declined over time but my sexual function has been perfectly fine except for Libido all the years prior to last year.I think that once the above is established that a 72 hour test would be a great idea and get a good grasp on the timing of future injections.Do you happen to know the thread name? Or perhaps a link to it that you are referring to. I'm not sure I read it yet and would love to and pass it along to my Dr.I was only able to find one study regarding the leydig desensitizing and that did involve the rats. LOLI did find another study that shows that intra muscular injections did actually last longer. However the same study shows that HCG has a half life of about 33 hours.
