When to draw blood?

[Jetvictor]

I apologize in advance if this is posted on a thread somewhere but I couldn't find it. I'm sure this was asked a million times already. When do people draw blood work while on trt? Is it the day before your injection or the day of injection? If you inject Monday and Thursday? Is it better on Wednesday or Sunday?

It's always drawn before your next injection - if you can draw on Monday morning before injecting that would be great. If not, Wednesday, prior to your Thursday injection. When you're injecting multiple times a week, the peak/trough should be minimized to a great extent. At least that's the goal.

Aren't you reasonably young? I ask, because I wanted to be sure your doctor is addressing the issue of your fertility - was that discussed?

I don't want kids but I am taking hcg 2x a week at 250ui. Still adjusting to trt

You may feel that way, but it would be imprudent for you doctor not to have discussed this with you. All the best.
