Bloodwork

[ergie]

Never had it done but I'm seriously considering since I don't beleive I've recovered completely from my last 2 or 3 cycles which would be about a year or so......... Anyhow, what all should you get checked and where do you go about getting it done (walkin clinic?). Also, do you tell the doc you use AAS or do you just go in and ask for the bloodwork and thats it?

[MUSTANG_18]

Go in and say you want to get full blood work done. You can be more specific and ask for Lipid profile, Livers vales, Test levels, R/WBC's ect...When ever I get it done I don't tell him a thing about what I'm taking. My doctor is very old school so one mention of steroids and he'd be off his rocker. However, if there ever was a problem I'd be honest and tell him whats up. Blood work is the only way to know whats going on inside. I get it done before and after every cycle.

When after a cycle should you get bloodwork done? Right after PCT or a month after PCT?

[MUSTANG_18]

I usually get it done a couple weeks after PCT is finished.

This was posted on another forum I read:


For a bodybuilder I would go for:
FBC, U+E, LFT, TFT, cholesterol, test, free test as a bare minimum. If you have been an anabolic user for a while you might want to consider gamma-GT, HbA1C, Prostate specific antigen and cardiac markers (trop-T and CK). Some tests are fairly pointless though as they will definately be raised - most of the muscle enzymes for instance.

I think he's a doctor and he knows what he's talking about with regards to anabolics...

Well PCT is not really going all that well...... I'm in week 4 of 6 in my regiment and I'm still shut down fairly hard, My sex drive is non existant and I am unable to preform in bed. I will be getting bloodwork done in week 8, my last shot of test en was the first week of November. I'm starting to wonder if I wil recover at all but I guess only time will tell.

[liquidfire]

Yikes bro. That's pretty scary. Keep us updated!

[Mr.Freeze]

what do you take for PCT?:confused:

[ergie]

PCT as following:

week 1 - HCG 500iu/ED - Nolvadex 60mg/ED - Clomid 150mg/ED
week 2 - Nolvadex 40mg/ED Clomid 100mg ED
week 3-6 - Nolvadex 20mg/ED Clomid 100mg/ED

I think the Nolvadex might be hurting my sex drive a little because my libido was stronger 2 weeks ago then it is now. Hopefully bloodwork is better than what I think.......

well things have taken a turn for the better, sex drive is coming back a little and this morning I had a small breakout of acne. Bloodwork is in 1 month, I will also be experimenting with a newer test booster called myogenx.

[Mr.Freeze]

fergie try some 6-OXO from ERGOPHARM ive tryed it with good result.you take 6-8pills at night with your last meal.

[ergie]

just an update.......

things are looking up, more breakouts of acne, morning wood, I can get it up without Cialis but my libido is still not 100%. Bloodwork is in 2 weeks

[Mr.Freeze]

Slowly but surely!!:)

[ergie]

OK guys, tommorow is the big day........ Have an appt to get all my bloodwork done so I should know if I've recovered or not, I'll post up my results once they come in

[Mr.Freeze]

How much time will it take before you get your results?

[ergie]

Not sure I've never had this type of bloodwork done, I'm guessing about a week though

[Mr.Freeze]

Did you pay for it?

[ergie]

I'm guessing my bloodwork is done but I'm not really sure nobody has called me, but you have to remember that they only call if theres a problem so maybe I'm O.K. I'm gonna drop by today to see if its done and if it is I'll ask for a copy.

No Freeze I did not pay anything, bloodwork was at no cost

[ergie]

O.K got my bloodwork back and all values are in the normal range. 2 concerns though..... my test levels are 14.4 nmol/l and normal range is 10.3-29.5 so I'm low normal but I guess thats ok. Secondly I have right ventriular hypertrophy I think this is commonly reffered to as athletes heart. But anyway its good to see the values the way they are.

[Mr.Freeze]

Good for you ! Now you could start again:)
