    I told her everything I was doing and she told me it was a good way to give myself a heart attack before 40 etc... Is this true at all ?
    What is it you are doing? Ok I searched.
    D-bol week 1-6 @ 20 mgs a day
    test week 1-12 @ 600 mgs a week
    decca week 1-12 @ 400 mgs a week

    Why would you go in while on cycle to get blood work knowing it will be all out of whack?

    Really? On cycle?

    Wait 2-3 months after PCT for any real readings on your bloodwork

    Most of my budies eat junk food, drink beer every night, and get wasted every friday and sat, some smoke...ect ect. I eat healthy, I almost never drink, workout 4-5 times a week, jog 3 times a week, and of course I run a cycle a year...who do you think is going to live longer???? I would put my money on me seeing as I have never had a bad blood test or high BP in my life.

    Actually thats my next cycle I was considering.

    I'm currently on 800 mgs of test only.

    I went in because I wanted to know what my lipids , blood counts, test etc were on cycle. I pay for them so I might as well get them just for educational reasons.

    I told her that i was going to run a few more cycles and get to where i want to be then just cruise on my 200 mgs a week of TRT. She then replied with running just a few more cycles at that same total and free test amounts would cause me to have a heart attack.

    The question I asked her is " was she correct thhat running a few more cycles would cause me to have a heart attack at those levels ? sorry if I came off wrong.

    First off telling your Dr. all that could put you at risk for insurance problems

    2nd to answer your questions. Yes your risk to that is higher then if you didnt do steroids. Is it def going to give you a heart attack? Doubt it. Alot more of us on here would be dropping like flies if it was a guarantee

    OK then that's a little different than what I was thinking and makes sense except for telling her anything. NOT a good idea in the long run for insurance and possible legal reasons that you may not foresee in the future. Next time use an independent lab, not your doctor.

    As far as what your doctor told you, she is a quack 100% so even better reason not to tell her anything. If it was me; honestly I would change doctors now. Tell the next doctor that you changed because she seems to have very limited knowledge on TRT and she keeps miss quoting you saying you are running a cycle when you are NOT and the only reason your results where so high is because you injected 2x in one week forgetting you had already done it and had the test a few days later or something like that. Have blood test done again once you know for a fact you are back to normal levels.

    I agree. The only reason I was telling her all that info is because I wanted to be upfront and honest with her .

    I will be looking for a new Dr. though.

    there is a good chance that this "information" you shared with her will be in your permanent medical record and can affect you getting medical insurance in the future.. not a smart move man.

    Most Medical records are usually destroyed in 6 years here in Arizona or atleast in my dr.s office. Was told they only archive them for up to 6 years then destroy them and I dont have health insurance. I'm self employed and pay out of pocket.
