Switching Testosterone - Blood Work Question

[MikeF]

Hello all, my name is Mike and I have a pretty easy question......I think
How long after having my testosterone shot should I wait to get my blood work done in order to get a good picture of my levels before switching from Xyosted to Cypionate?
I had my last Xyosted shot this past Monday and my Dr thinks it's OK to get the lab work done on Thursday before injecting the Cypionate.
I would like to get as close to base line as possible and so was thinking to skip Thursday's shot and get lab work done Monday morning and then start the Cypionate shot after and then every Monday & Thursday.
I am also looking to use these lab results to have a consultation with Defy Medical....the following is blood work being ordered by my Dr:

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
CBC
Lipid Panel
Testosterone Free and Total
Estradiol Sensitive
DHEA-Sulfate
TSH
PSA
LH
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
IGF-1

Things settle at 6-8 weeks, however you can get an idea where things are going at 4 weeks.

I had my last Xyosted shot this past Monday and my Dr thinks it's OK to get the lab work done on Thursday before injecting the Cypionate.

Your doctor comes across as inexperienced, and the reality is few doctors truly understand how to manage male hormones.

You always measure at trough or right before your injections.

I would like to get as close to base line as possible and so was thinking to skip Thursday's shot and get lab work done Monday morning and then start the Cypionate shot after and then every Monday & Thursday.

A change in protocol resets everything, 6-8 weeks before labs are drawn. Again, 4 weeks gives you an ideal where things are headed.

LH

It's pointless to test LH while on exogenous testosterone, unless on Natesto or short acting oral testosterone.
