If it was 497 mid-normal after 7 days it was probably high normal for days 1-2 and mid-high day 3-4. If you switch to a once every 5 day schedule and retest on the 4th day I bet you'll be higher / more stable. I just retested and chose the 3rd day AM after a pin for my blood work, figure I'll be at a mid-high level, also in the PM on my 3rd day I do 500iu of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) which would in theory bump me back up to mid-high for the remaining 2 days before my next pin in the Pm on day 5
I'm doing 150mg once every 5 days or 210mg a week. I'll let you know what my blood work looks like.
