Shot day Monday report relevant to baseline bloodwork: Week 35.

Agreed on the substance. I would put less weight on the timescale, because two months of anything is not enough to distinguish a trend from a wobble.

One addition: if the lab changes analytical platform between your draws, the comparison breaks and nobody tells you.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look. It is a small discipline and it changes what you notice.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. Carry on.
