[QUOTE="Nashtide, post: 135343, member: 16954"] I have always wondered why the gold standard of testing is to draw labs during the trough. As VC stated above, that only reveals a tiny snapshot in time. If we only ever look at trough values then we never know what our hormones look like the other 99% of the time. What if the OP has high E2 most of the week but treats his E2 based on the low reading during trough? His inclination would be to drop his AI which could make his E2 go through the roof. He’d never know because he only has trough labs. I see this phenomenon with diabetics. They will tell me they take their blood glucose every morning before breakfast. Well, that is great that they test everyday, but what about the blood sugar the other times during the day? [/QUOTE]
