[QUOTE="madman, post: 245811, member: 13851"] Are you done yet? Better yet search all the posts/threads on here. Never said there was anything wrong with someone testing at peak as long as they are always testing true trough. Yes, it has been hammered home to test at the true trough with the critical point being made that you always need to keep in mind where your trough FT level truly sits whether injecting once weekly, twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD let alone daily. Too many are gung ho about jacking up their FT level without taking into consideration peak--->trough on such protocols. Going to be a big difference in someone running a trough FT 30+ ng/dL injecting once or twice weekly compared to EOD or daily. The whole point of testing at the true trough is to make sure levels are not too low which can have a negative effect on overall symptom relief let alone too high which can have one struggling with sides till f**king cows come home! Much easier getting one blood test done to see where your trough level truly sits as blood work is done just before your next injection. [B][U]TrueTrough (TC/TE)[/U][/B] [I][B]*Once weekly (7 days post-injection) *Twice weekly (3.5 days/84 hrs post-injection) *M/W/F (Monday morning) *EOD (2 days/48 hrs post-injection)[/B][/I] [B][I]*Daily (24 hrs post-injection)[/I][/B] The issue with testing at the true peak is it's a guessing game as you would need to test every hour post-injection to see where your level truly sits. Is your peak 8-12 hrs, 24 hrs? Throw in IM vs sub-q and this could easily change things. Sure you can get a rough idea but even then testing at the true trough is standard practice. No one said there was anything wrong with testing at peak and trough but testing at true trough (lowest point) before your next injection is a F**KING must! You can rest assured that if trough levels are too high then it is a given that peak levels will be very high/absurdly high depending on the protocol (injection frequency). [/QUOTE]
