I been off my cycle for just over a week... It was a small cycle which consisted of...
85mg of test prop ed
200mg of EQ monday and friday
4 weeks of M1T in there
it was a 12 week cycle...
Anyhow i was wondering if its necessary to get blood work done with a small cycle like that... if so when should i get it done?
And i assume its ok to tell my doctor i did some AAS?
Thanks boys
RR
It might be worth it for you just to have a peice of mind. I would wait until after PCT - that way you can find out if your natural test is back to norm. You will have to ask the Dr. to test for testostrone lebels. In normal blood work they don't check for such things.
Yes - tell your Dr. you have used AAS. It is better that you do IMO.
Did you like the results of your cycle?
Yeah i did... i thought they were great results... i'm 6'1 200 lbs now benching 315 lbs for 1 rep, squatting 405 lbs easy, and deadlifting 405 lbs 2 times.Quote:

I have some pictures i had posted before... not sure in what thread they were in but i was satisfied!
Thanks

(Now i'm having stretch marks problem! well i did before but even worse now ... any suggestions? Vitamin E? and coco butter or something i heard?)
P.S. i'm going for a 495 squat tomorrow ... i had 405 lbs nicely... wish me luck! :wg: :evil2: :7up:
Definately after pct. Tell your doc. He'll know what variables to look for. Are you going to an endocrinologist or a family practitioner?
My family doctor... however i remember the last time i had blood work done they send me to a lab in the basement... and they do it... my doctor herself doesn't do the lab work...Quote:

I would not tell my doctor unless you want it on your medical record. Personally I do it online, it is much more discrete and you get your results back fast.
No point in getting tested until 2-3 weeks past pct though, why get lab tests that prove your hormones are all over the place?
I dont see the big deal having it on your medical record... are you talking about for things such as future health reports? health checks for insurance? are you saying these are implications in the future that might come out of having my doctor write it down that used AAS?
Because that is a pretty serious issue if thats what you are talking about... I wouldnt' want that to be on my file if its going to kick me in the ass down the road...
dude that is why i was asking... anyhow...Quote:

If they have a problem, go to another doctor. Simple.

It will go into your permanent record: ie, you have had your hormone levels, liver enzymes, etc. checked.
No REASON for the tests needs to be recorded, but future insurers DO look at your past medical records when considering whether or not they should insure you, and if you're getting your shite tested every six months it MAY raise some red flags in their computer.
Had an echo-cardiogram once, just to see if I had any enlargement of the heart, and a year later I got a co-payment due notice that listed the echo-cardiogram and the reason for it: "PAST DRUG USE: UNSPECIFIED" !!!
How's that for a permanent record, officer!

Well this was my first cycle... so how the hell do you guys manage then? I mean my cycle was light for some of you that are more into it, how doyou get your blood work done? Do you just tell the doctor what you want checked and thats it? Then they give you the results?
How doyou guys do it because obviously if you want to do things right you need to get your blood work done...
What should i be asking my doctor to check for when i get my blood work done?
test levels?
colestoral?
estrogen?
I've never had to do this before so if someone could enlighten me about what i need to get checked and the best way to go about it would be great fellas...
Cheers

Oh by the way i cleanead 495 squats nicely twice... well the first rep was thought the 2nd one was much cleaner...
Just though'd i'd give an update!
RR
:bbbump:
Still need advice on if i shoudl tell my doctor or not... and what exactly i need to tell them to check...
Thanks
RR
i went to doc for bloodwork like 10 days after pct still havnt got it back yet will have it after thanksgiving, but the doc wanted to feel my nuts hella bad so i just let her and almost got a half lumpy on when she was stroking and rubbing for like 5 minutes! they also gave me an echo cardiogram the reason i gave her for why i wanted one was chest aches that i had been having and fatigue, thats all u gotta say for that
and for the tests i never said i used aas even tho it was probably rather obvious i just said it had been like two years since i had even got my blood pressure checked so i wanted to make sure everything was cool wit my body
o and she talked me into gettin std checked too and gave me like 200 condoms so now im well stocked
We just gave you advice why not too. Are you waiting on someone to tell you it is ok. Well then, go tell them and see what happens. It won't be confidential I'll tell you that much.Quote:

I need to tell them what i specifically want checked, and i've yet to find that out.Quote:
