Blood Test after cycle

[dragonazz]

Hi all, First post!

I am about 4 weeks post cycle. I ran Var for 15 weeks gradually increasing to run 20 mg ED for a few weeks. Only side was higher than normal total cholesterol. I have an appt to get labs done at the 6 week post cycle mark. I have experienced hot flashes for a few years now. I am premenopausal and can control my hot flashes with DHEA but I am not taking that either so I can have clean labs. I'd really like to go back to taking something for the hot flashes. My question is, do I need to wait the full 6 weeks for the labs or has my body had time to go back to normal at 4 weeks?

How were your liver values? Steroids tend to be much harder on women than men. I would be interested to hear if that was the case with you.
How was your individual cholesteral readings? I'm guessing the good was low and the bad was high.
I would wait to see what your next set of labs show. If I read correct you will only have to wait another two weeks. For me, waiting an extra two weeks would be worth seeing where I was at.
Best of luck!

I had labs done when I was on var cycle once only 10 mg and my liver values came back normal not sure if that was freak or what.

I just got mine today I'm still running test E, and just finished Dbol I started both 6 wks ago and my liver and kidney values are only slightly elevated doc said nothing too serious just to get it checked again in 5 wks after cycle.

Liver values were normal. Good cholesterol was high, bad was normal but it threw my readings into high "total" cholesterol.
Yeah, you are probably right and just wait the 2 weeks.

Orals usually kill good cholesterol. Glad to see that you were in the normal range. Health first. We only get one body and one life!
