How many of you honestly have blood tests performed before or after cycles?

[mvmaxx]

I want to know honestly here, who has blood work done up and when/how often do you do it?

 

[The Terminator]

I would like to (but I don't have medical insurance ) I do monitor BP at the local drug store machine though, as its free... But I usually take ALOT more time off than on so I am not extremely concerned about it (right now).

 

[StoneColdNTO]

I don't necessarily think what I do is right, but I wait until about 2 months after cycle has ended, so things should be back to normal, and use that as a guage to see if it is OK to start another cycle.

I quess what I'm saying is a get my blood work done every 6 months and work my cycles around them.

 

[buffdoc]

Yes I do. I know it's easier for me than most, because of my set-up, but I encourage everyone to do it. You can learn a lot, in addition to protecting your health. It's one thing to talk about E and T levels, liver, lipids, etc, in an abstract sense; it's another entirely when it's your numbers, staring you in the face in black and white.
The money thing? I don't buy it. Think of the other stuff we spend freely on. And yes, I have to pay for mine, too. The labs don't know me from Adam, nor do they care that my name is the same as the ordering physician!
So take a tip from the ads, and just do it!

Good boy Termmy! StoneCold would be proud!

My last cycle I had during and 2 months after (which I used as the before test for this cycle)....I'll have another test after my show and then probably stay on until June......I'lll have another inSept then get back on.....that's the plan....

 

[Annonamous1]

I had my levels checked twice, but I plan on having them done after all my cycles from now on.

 

[saturn]

I know I should but I really really really don't like doctors. I have had my levels checked but not regularly.

 

[grafixLSUalum]

i dont, but i should

 

[house1]

i get tested every year on or off. but not every cycle

 

[jcp2]

Nope. I had some major health problems when i was in college, and i hate going to the fucking doctor. I have promised myself though that i will not start my next cycle unless i get a physical first though.

 

[Billy_Bathgate]

I do. Im friends with the lab guys that do it Pays off to do an internship in toxicology!

 

[Darko]

I havent, but I will be before I start my next. My problem is that my current doctor is extremely good friends with my family and I don't not trust at all keeping her big yap shut.

 

[buffdoc]

All these guys that don't like doctors!! LOL. Me neither...
Hell, go to the Any Labs place, get them done there.
Oh yeah, if there's something wrong, get an appointment with your source ;-)

2 weeks after an ANADROL cycle, I had my blood tested. I had "slightly elevated liver enzymes", they told me. He said that this was acceptable.

A year and a half ago following a month off 4 weeks of methyltest that i bought as d-bol (humabol anyone?), my tests came back with levels high enough that my doc had me get tested for hepatitis. Came back neg. Apparently high ALT and AST run in my family in the first place, even in the non-drinkers, and methyltest and lifting sure don't help.
