From all the side effects that scare me,its the hdl and ldl profile. This seems to be one side that is for sure. My question is how profound of an impact does a moderate dose have and how long before it returns to normal?anyone that has had bloodwork, id love to hear from you. Im looking to add a second short cycle for the year. I just don't want to be running around with a cholesterol problem. I should get bloodwork but im without insurance right now. And I only do one low dose cycle a year right now. But again id like to ds a second 6-8 weeker.
