question from a user
At which time would you recommend doing blood work after injection when the frequency is each 5 days 75mg? On injection day t0, or in between on t3?
AlphaMD's Answer
Typically the idea is to check the trough, so you know what your lowest T level is. Since there is no such thing as testosterone toxicity, we don't need to know the peak level.
The main goal is to know how low your level gets and still have relief of your symptoms.
Following that logic, you would want to draw your blood not long before your next injection.
