Time of day to do blood draw

[waltkowalski]

I do Androgel 2 pumps in the AM 1 pump in the early evening

when is the best time to get my bllod draw for follow up labs?

Id do it an hour after you apply the gel in the AM. Be very certain that you don't get gel anywhere near the blood draw site and wash your hands really well. If you did get gel on the needle stick site it would contaminate the blood and the test would be useless.

Thanks Vince!

Honestly, if you're on a daily transdermal it makes no difference when you get pulled as your serum levels are very very stable.
