I don't know what to ask for. I'm not sure if I want to tell him I'm using AS but I'm sure he'll know...so I might as well have everything out in the open, right? What kind of tests should I ask for, and how often should I have them done. This is mainly for my wife, but it never hurts to be careful.     | ||

liver, testosterone, free testosterone, IGF, FSH. I usually get them down before in the middle and about 1 month after cycle. | ||

Kidney function,Total cholesterol profile(triglycerides,HDL,LDL),red/white blood cell count,urinalysis(they can see if there is any blood in the urine),Liver enzyme.AS will affect your cholesterol to the extreme.If you plan to bulk up and eat everything under the sun,you will notice the dramatic cholesterol change if you do not eat clean. Also,it's common for steroid using athletes to have microscopic traces of blood in the urine while on harsher drugs.If you don't plan on telling him now,you might decide to if your post cycle tests show dramatic changes. My liver enzymes were higher than normal,and my doctor said he would send me to a liver specialist after another test(for hepatitis)I explained to him it was from heavy AS use,and he was ignorant to the use of AS. So I switched doctors,and found one extensively knowledgeable about AS use and who knows how to interpret pre/on/post cycle results ------------------ | ||

nahanrac that varies wildly from state to state and lab to lab, anywhere from $400 up to $1100. Those I listed are the bare minimum that should be done IF you're going to go the safe route. ------------------ | ||

Do you think insurance will cover this. I work for a very large hopital organization and I'm covered under them. | ||
