Upcoming blood work

It's a tough balance. On one hand, right after cycle you will more than likely test low. On the other hand, your cholesterol might be all jacked up which could be an indicator of steroid use.

Ideally everything would be normal except for testosterone levels (and possibly thyroid).

I think it most depends on the doctor. Some are open to HRT, others are not.

Well I could bump up the test date to May 1st (8 days from now if that is better).

I am 32 y.o.

It wouldn't hurt. The ONLY thing that would concern me is that your natural testosterone levels start to creep upwards (highly unlikely but why chance it) even without the use of clomid, and I could see the Dr. trying a different approach then putting you on TRT. I'm 35 and have already gone through it so I hope this helps.

If he is going in for testosterone blood work why would they even bother doing a cholesterol? It would be like telling the Dr. I have a broken arm and then they x-ray your foot.

Cholesterol can be a factor of many things and to limit it to the "possible" use of AAS useage only would be foolish to say the least.

Just talking from experience. Before considering such a treatment a full blood panel will most likely be ordered.

You don't want your HDL showing up in single digits if you know what i mean.

True, but he wasn't running any orals. Shouldn't be an issue.
