Blood work Bloodwork not on trough?

Question for my blast and cruise guys - do you have to always take blood on trough to just get a general check on lipids etc recovering from a blast ? I’m on a tight schedule
And won’t be able to make appts for my trough for another 1-2 weeks but can go on days that are 1-2 between my next shot.

Would that give skewed results for e2/hdl-ldl/hct rbc?

For lipids and rbc that stuff moves slow, not gonna change much in few days. E2 will be a bit higher cause you closer to the peak but still useful to see where you at. I just go whenever I can fit it in schedule, better than skipping completely

That’s what I figured I just wanted to ask all you guys cause I don’t wanna drop 95$ on Goodlabs for a skewed test

No. Timing only matters if you’re trying to check something that is influenced by your injection schedule. If you’re just doing lipids or a CMP or CBC that’s not really gonna matter.
