Would it be ok to tell my doctor that I am considering taking steroids - and then ask him to help me with blood tests and what not? Should I wait until I have already started my first cycle. If I do tell him, does he have to keep it confidential? I'm still trying to get all my shit together for my first cycle. So far the only thing I have been able to get a hold of is a 50 ml bottle of Reforvit B. I have a few other items I would like to get before I start but right now they are hard for me to get a hold of ( Primo, Test, and especially Clomid). How hard would it be for me to convince him to prescribe me an anti-estrogen? If this was a stupid question, then I apologize in advance, but I would appreciate any helpful advice.

Yeah..its cool if you tell your doc.
I told mine after I started cycle..and he was impressed that I actually did my homework...
He wouldnt condone it in any way..but he filled me in on some injection info...and the lot, as well as wanting to do bloodwork after cycle for me.
If you can get him to prescribe you clomid..that would be cool..I doubt he will...seriously..but it could happen.
Your doc cant say anything to anyone about your use...its against the law.

He has to keep it confidential. Lots of guys have told their doctors. Of course, he'll try and talk you out of it though. I'm pretty sure he'll work with you on blood tests but I'm not sure about the clomid.

Yeah I think it would be in your best interest to tell your doc. If he could prescribe you some clomid and maybe some other shit that would be a dream come true.

Blood tests are equally important.

absolutely. it makes sense to get his/her cooperation. you will find that some doctors are prone to giving you a lecture but will calm down (and you would be wise to humbly listen albeit it may sound tiresome) after you demonstrate that you have thought things out. of course it would help to meditate/rehearse on the actual points you wish to make as to the reasons you have decided to start using AS. consider also that unless you limit yourself to very small dosages, you are essentially making a very longterm decision and you will benefit from having access laboratory tests by your own doctor

It depends on your doctor. If it is some old bag that doesn't know the first thing abour fitness and looks like he's ready to keel over then I probably wouldn't bother. I told my doc just for the hell of it and he said that I was going to die!!! LOL Literally that's what he said. I know more about anabolic steroids than him and most other stupid old fart docs out there. And now every time I go to see him for something it's uncomfortable. I'd say only do it if you're pretty sure that your doc is going to be cool about. Hint - if he's over 60 forget about it.

qui, phuck a bunch of listening to a lec from you doc. that is not why you are there. you pay him to listen to you and not bitch at you.

Your conversation between you and your doc is confidential. I do not recommend being a dick to him or her, but you do not have to take any shit.

Thanks for the advice. I feel much better about telling my doc. When I finally get all my gear together, and ask him I'll tell you what happend. I hope I could get clomid from him - I mean it would be in his best interests to help me minimize any negetive side effects.

My doctor came to me one day and wanted to talk, he knows im in great shape, but havent done any AS, but he just wanted to tell me if i ever wnats to start on AS then i should get the stuff and then come to him, he would teach me how to inject and how to minimize the sideeffect, and said that i should get chlomid to end the cycle, and tell him if i wasent able to get it because then he try to get it to me.
