[QUOTE="RickB, post: 246000, member: 42882"] I'm glad we agree then. My issue was that I've seen a lot of posts where the reply is "you need to test at trough", as if there is never a reason to test otherwise. Though correct and usually appropriate for the usual low T symptom posts we see so often, it can also come across as a blanket statement and can leave someone thinking there's never a reason to test at other times. Sometimes "test at trough first and go from there" would be much more helpful. In this thread Systemlord said in post#4 [B]Always do labs right before your next injection[/B]. Then in #7 he says there's little reason to test at peak because [B]it's not possible for your total T to stay static[/B]. Of course we know the numbers don't stay static, but there are guys who feel best right before their next injection but feel like shit on day three. Should they not test on day three because total T doesn't "stay static"? For all we know the OP in this thread could be injecting half a syringe of air, or unlikely as it is, there could be something wrong with his medicine. Even if there are no peculiar factors like these, wouldn't it be worth it to get an idea how fast his body is eliminating the T? He could change his injection frequency based on the results. I don't know his situation, but I pay $40. I would have no issue testing at trough and then closer to peak and do all seven days if necessary. [/QUOTE]
