This seems contradictory to me, how can it be crucial to time the lab draw with AndroGel, but with IM shots it doesn't matter, so long as you know how to interpret the results. I think the same would hold true for either one. No one gets there blood work done 24-48 hours after an IM shot b/c we know it may be temporarily elevated, so why should we test our AndroGel users when we know they are at their peak. AndroGel has a much smaller curve then Cyp. I think you would be better off testing the AndroGel first thing in the morning right before your next application, isn't this how we recommend that test cyp users get their labs done, on the day before there next shot. I think the real issue here should be consistency as long as you get it tested at as close to the same time everytime, so one result can be directly compared to the next one. After all, aren't we always preaching about how, it isn't the number, it is how you feel. Obviously, we can't have everyone on 500mgs/wk because they feel good, but you get my point.
