    most docs will want a pretty good reason for ordering up all the specific labs.

    you might be better off by going to private md labs and getting what you want. Plus, any evidence of steroid use won't go in your permanent medical record.

    and on your permanent medical record it will stay. Are you sure this is the wisest thing?

    Very bad idea. Admitting to using illegal drugs!?! Your insurance company may deny your coverage and you will have a heck of a time getting anyone to underwrite your coverage with that on your file. Rethink that decision carefully.

    If ur low they medically treat the with trt so if you think your low then you can tell the doctor that doesn't affect coverage if your prescribed test its for medical purposes.

    Also, how long after a cycle should you wait before getting the tests done?

    Sathane, you're bumping a lot of old threads.... Just start a thread in the Q/A with all your questions.

    Ok so if I want blood work done I need to only know if my t levels are low? Or are there other things I need to be aware of when deciding to start a cycle?

    I wish there was a "Do Not Like" button.
    You better think long and hard before you tell ANYONE about taking illegal substances. With electronic medical records - that information will follow you forever.
