[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 77922, member: 2624"] Reasons for testing at trough. Testing at trough gives a solid look at estradiol. It always follows in the wake of testosterone. Testosterone will have peaked earlier in the week, on trough day e2 is somewhere near its high point. You'll have a better sense of whether it needs to be managed tightly or allowed to float. As noted, testosterone is at its low point on trough day. That means you have a good sense of how well your protocol is working if you measure at that time. If SHBG is a factor, high or low, if testosterone is either being bound and lost or clearing too quickly, it will be evident that morning. Testing at Peak is sometimes necessary, particularly in the case of SHBG oriented issues, or to see if estradiol is stable or in flux. But a trough reading provides much more insight and permits adjustments far more easily. [/QUOTE]
