I go first thing in the morning, before eating that way your fasted from sleep... and it's supposedly better to go in the mornings anyways due to the natural circadian rhythm.. really that just seems like nit pickin to me.. although it can have some impact, I don't think it's going to have a huge impact. in any case no matter what time of day it is, you don't want wild fluctuations and levels out of spec or goal. my two cents.

Thanks for replying....My main question is what day of the week should I go in due to the TRT shot done on Saturday? Should my levels be stable enough to where it wont matter what day or should I do it Wednesday like I said which is the mid point between pins to get that number. All the while I have to pin the GH 3.5 hours before the test so I was thinking about 9:30am pin GH and take blood draw at 1pm

well key, like moist things in life, is consistency.. so after being on your trt for lets say three weeks compared to that of say 6 weeks you would see better saturation at the 6 week mark.. in other words although you have a small fluctuation depending on what day in comparison of when you get your trt shot, point is it shouldn't be a big enough fluctuation for you to worry about. there shouldn't be a huge difference, there should be a range of what's considered stable.

I think you are over analyzing when what day of the week you get your blood work, my point is after a certain period time you should be roughly stable no matter what day of the week it is.. correct?
I think you have it down brother, with the way you described getting your labs down.. try it that way.
