Bab, absolutely , your plan doesn't sound bad at all. If your worried about bloat -just have l-dex on hand. If your worried about gyno, keep some nolva around. Use it only if you see signs of bloat, which you very well may not. And as far as the cholesterol test- don't be worried about that. It's a fairly common test, i mean there a a number of thing you can tell him why your having them checked. And taking .5 EOD for just a few weeks isn't going to send you to your grave, I just think it can be over done. But say you start to see bloat around week 4 and start running it at least get it checked around week 8 and maby after(see how it effect you). Just watch your diet, take plenty omega -3's and omega-6's, and drink plenty of water and you'll be fine. Best of luck
