Prep for next Cycle

Hey guys,

So I'm going to be starting my next cycle on June the 23rd which is still a while away but a guy has to wait his time between cycles. I take my training, supplements, nutrition and education very seriously so with the help of you guys on the forum, my last cycle was a raging success.

I finished my last cycle of dbol and testcyp early Jan and before my next cycle I would like to go to the doc to get everything checked out.

This is what I have in mind to get checked:
- Full blood count
- Test levels
- Kidney function
- Liver function
- ESH/LH
- Thyroid function
- Cholesterol

If anybody has any suggestions of tests to add, please feel free.

My big question is, how do I go to the doc and explain to him why I want these tests done? Is there a safe doc to go to here in Cape Town?

stats ? age ? history of cycles ?

Hey Oupa,

27, 86kg, 10%bf, only one previous cycle of dbol and testcyp followed by PCT.

Hey guys,

Does anybody have advise for me?

Hey 333,

The doctor shouldn't be suspicious or reject your request. In November last year I did a full endocrine, liver, zinc, thyroid, cholesterol and blood test without the doctor looking twice. And I'm a healthy 23 year old, just told her I want to know what my body is up to to make sure I'm treating it right.

That's brilliant thanks!

Check your Vitamin D levels too.

Just tell your doc that you use steroids.

Are they liable to stay quiet about the matter?

Pretty much, doctor patient confidentiality.

333 ya they will keep quiet. I wouldn't just go tell them unless I REALLY needed to.

I know they keep quiet because I had a BAD experience years ago with Winny injectable. My @ss just started to get chowed for some reason from the stuff. God I was sick as hell. Kept it quiet and tried to doctor myself. Eventually I could not walk anymore as my @ss just hardened completely. Especially the right side cheek.
Had medical aid still but went to a different doctor just in case and got meds, injections and the hole thing sorted.

He just tuned me k@k about why on earth I was using it and blah blah blah…I have major hole on my right cheek now, but it’s totally healed an I’m as good as can be…long story short…don’t tell them why you need it…you want it so you can see what needs to corrected and that is it…besides…they offer these tests, so you would like to get them.

Being honest I have never gone for major tests….basically cholesterol, blood pressure and ya…I think that’s about it….but what you are doing is without a doubt the true way to go about it…I will also be doing that the next time I cycle…any idea how much the complete test will cost?

Tests should be aroung R1500 (excluding drs fees).

otherwise, go to lab self and tell them you want these tests done and pay cash. next day you have it, if there is something that worries you then you can go to the doc

Doesn't make sense to go to another doc. Your doc should know what you are up to so that if something does go wrong you can seek proper medical attention and advice from him / her. You don't pay your doc to judge you. They are there to treat and advise and they make good money from it.

If your personal GP has problem with you using steroids, get another GP.

SV, some labs will only run tests with a referral from a doc.
