    Time to take blood test

    Just a little info. I am on 200mg a week of Test Cyp. I take 100mg Bi-Weekly injections. My question is when should I go to get blood drawn? I was thinking of getting in drawn a couple hours before one of my injections. My last time I tested, I tested a few hours after an injection (and it seemed my numbers were a little high {Test and E2})

    This sound like a good time to gauge levels?

    I usually like the morning on the day of my injections.

    If you are real worried about it you could miss one dose and test right before the next.

    I wanting to be able to gauge where my levels usually sit at. When I tested before, they were obviously spiked because I had just take a shot (BTW, my Total T was 1400 and E2 was 41).

    I think if I miss a dose, it would skew the results and I wouldn't get an accurate reading.

    That's what I'm thinking Vette. I'll have it drawn in the morning a couple hours before my injection.

    my bad. i thought you were worried about testing too high for the doctor. In your case as the others said would be best.
