time to do blood test, advice please

[samsaige]

as per everyones recommendation, i did a blood test before my cycle 6 weeks ago, everything was good.

now that i am in the sixth week i wanted to do another blood test to check liver counts (is it too soon to do another test?)

my question is, when my doctor does the tests, test levels are gonna be whacked, he gonna notice that, but it is important for me to see how my liver counts are.

any advice how to go about this without opening myself up to a thousand questions from the doctor regarding the weird counts?

or should i wait and do the test in three weeks, at the end of my 9 week cycle?

Urea and electrolytes U/E or Urea and BUN in the US I believe

FBC/CBC Full blood count/complete blood count

LFT-liver function test

RP-Renal profile

Fasting glucose

TFT-thyroid function test (which may also be WHACKED due to the AAS)

Fasting Lipids-Cholesterol, HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL is calculated from those two, and Triacyglyceride

I might leave the hormones (TFT, testo, LH/FSH) for awhile after your cycle, unless you are curious just to see how out of range they are now.

no real need for a fasting blood sugar.

cbc, chem7/renap panel, LFTS you could do a cmp and get the lfts with this. you definitly should do a lipid panel. if you are going to do the lipids you must fast for 8-12 hours before, you can add the fasting glucose for shits and grins. The BUN comes in the renal panel

How do AAS effect thyroid? Just asking. I was unaware of this. Thanks
