Anyone have a list of the specific blood tests needed, or is a simple lipid prof. sufficient?

I go to a university and simply use the campus center. A full panel test is only $50.00 when it's over $200+ at other hoispitals. And insurance always covers it. Gotta take advantage of those outrageous tuition rates

I have my blood test paper right in front of me. I go in tomorrow for my test. Here are all the abbreviations my doctor has me down for: CBC, FER, UMA, GLU, NA, K, CRE, URE, ALP, ALT, GGT, CK, LDL, TSHO, TEST. If you need more info than this like the long forms of these abbreviations, e-mail or pm me.

There's really no need to lie about anything. Go to your doc and tell him you haven't had a comprehensive blood test in awhile and want to start tracking your health.
My doc actually told me it was a good idea and he wished more people paid attention to their bloodwork.
Cost will depend on your insurance, I believe. Mine cost me $0. You'll have an option on the form to have a copy of the results mailed to you, so make sure you do that also.
If for some reason you feel the need to lie, tell him you're looking into life insurance policies and want to take a look at your bloodwork before they come and test you, so you have an idea of what to expect. When you go for life insurance they'll come and draw your blood for their own tests.
I've tracked my blood profiles since I was 22 (8 years), long before I ever did AAS. Regardless of AAS use, it's a good idea to have it done annually / bi-annually to keep tabs on your general health.
It'll also get you used to needles.

In teh UK we use www.thedoctorltd.co.uk there is some good info on the site and not sure if they are affiliated in the USA but may be worth an e-mail to find out

I've been on since October (an 8 month cycle - I have 2 more weeks), currently I'm doing test prop/npp/winstrol/masteron, winstrol being the main drug at about 160mg/day. I know, it may seem too much but I have zero sides. haven't lost a hair and joint pain is minimal. The problem is my parents don't know that I'm juicing but are very suspicious because my body has changed dramatically in the last months and a friend of my parents who is a doc suggested that I have my blood and kidneys checked. So I'm trying to delay this till I get off the cycle because if I do it now the blood values will most likely be crazy and this will reveal my secret to everyone.
The question is how long after the cycle will my levels return to normal (I'm asking for a rough estimate).

your looking at about 3 months with a good PCT. I have done long cycles as well.
