    Does anyone hear not get bloodwork done post cycle?

    I'm just wondering how many don't do bloodwork. In the cycles before last I used orals (e.g., superdrol and meth1test) so I did the blood work. The last cycle, however, was testE @ 500 mgs a week which, is relatively low stress so I'll probably forego blood work (although I know it's always better to get it done). But my healthcare coverage does suck and much comes out of my pocket so if I can avoid it I do. That superdrol, incidentally, foocked my liver a bit.

    I just started to. I will from now on though. If you're going to cycle you should definitely get bloodwork done. directlabs.c0m is like $85.

    That makes sense to me. Mine was light (I did test E for 10 weeks at 500mgs a week). Yet, within two weeks after ending the cycle I did drink a six pack of beer and I'm wondering if that could be cause for concern. Obviously it would be for an oral but I'm wondering if it could for test E.

    Yes after each PCT is completed I get the Male comprehensize exam approx 89$, and Total/Free test done from Directlabs.com around 120$.. Well worth the 200 spent. Also tells you if you've recovered etc.

    Not too many ppl get it done, but it's a smart thing to do.

    I had bloodwork, cholesterol, and liver values tested during my last cycle about 3 months ago

    750mg Test E 12 wks
    600mg EQ 12 wks
    50mg Anavar wks 10-14

    Proper PCT

    Im sorry to say I drank about once a week, probably 4 or 5 beers each time during my cycle because I had just met my g/f at the beginning of it, and obviously we had to go out sometime...

    But anyway my liver values were a tad escalated, I would imagine due to the Var, as well as HDLs being on the low side, but I've been keeping my diet clean and taking Tyler's.

    I think you're alright my friend.

    I probably should....my doctor has given me a lab consult to go get one...haven't yet...think I'm kinda afraid of what might turn up....and for me....our health care covers it; so I really should!

    No they send you to a local labcorp most of the time or other lab they use for drawing blood. Very simple and confidential.
