They won't call the police on you, but they can put drug abuse in their notes. These notes are then uploaded to your insurance company, which can cause all sorts of fun for you later on with higher premiums or even possibly intervention. There's no reason to see a doctor unless it's serious imho; that's why we have private online blood tests which are ANONYMOUS. (Assuming you're in the US)

I don't believe Obama Care allows insurance companies to discriminate with higher premiums. But, like HW said, it will likely go in your medical record. Insurance companies could theoretically deny covering something later on the grounds you did it to yourself (I am speculating here).
I do know for sure though that if you apply for Life Insurance, Disability, etc insurance that they can deny your application based on what is in your medical history. I don't know too many insurance companies that would offer a large policy to a steroid abuser.
I just don't see any upside here in telling your doc. He or she most likely doesn't know anything about steroids so you won't get better care. If issues pop up later, the treatment likely won't be any different whether or not you are using AAS.

privatemdlabs.com is one of the few I use pretty often. Just use the female "menopause" hormone panel as it costs around 60 bucks (google a coupon code for 15% off) and covers most of everything you need to know. If you want an exact total testosterone number, and not just <1500ng/dL, you will have to pay for the sensitive assay too, which is another 45 bucks I believe. Megatron28 has the other good lab that has sensitive assays built in and doesn't use the ECLIA method for measuring estradiol (good for tren users), I think that one is around 74 dollars.
With either lab, you just pick a location of a Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp near you and print out the requisition. No ID is required, and it's relatively fast. I think my last sensitive assay (for a TT above 1500) took around a week for the results to be emailed to me. If you just want E2 and the other standard goodies, it's usually around 48hrs for results to your inbox.

You don't even need a doc to donate blood. Is this your first cycle? You have many questions still if so. Take the time to read up on everything and have all your ducks in a row.

Cool I have done a good amount of cycles and never donated blood. And never had a blood test neither. I found the site, will the menopause test give encore count, and do they take blood at the location?

What about donating blood you just stroll into Red Cross and give them like test, anadrol, npp, cabaser, hcg, and tren? Just examples. What if some chic gets it.

You walk in, tell them you'd like to donate, answer the questionnaire (using common sense here - AAS use is a permanent deferral), read the pamphlet, sit down in a comfy chair...
Let them HARPOON your antecubital area, and BAM!

You should postpone your start until you have the results back. Should only be a few extra days.

If you want to qualify for trt go test after the cycle when your shut down and all the synthetic has cleared.

If your results come back Low T and she qualifies you for TRT then I assume your not gonna do your cycle then? Cause she will put you on TRT and need follow up blood work to dial you in. Also the stated above is not a good way to find out if you need TRT. You want to do a proper PCT first. Then get your labs done and if everything is low despite your PCT then you decide if you want to go on TRT for life.
