Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Can you please tell me the reason for this steroids? Is it for athletic purpose or some other reason?
And can you also tell me the dosage or the brand you are planning to start?
In which country do you live? Do you pay by your insurance or pay personally for your health care?
As laws vary from country to country, hence this information is essential.
I can guide you based on that,
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.


Patient replied :

Steroids are for athletic/aesthetic purposes. I plan to take cyponate 500mg week in tiered progress for 12 weeks stacked with winnesterol. PLanned pct is hcg to restart test and clomid. Nolvadex taken throughout cycle to avoid gynocomastia. I live in the US. Will pay through insurance unless I have to pay out of pocket to avoid reporting.


Hello
Thanks for providing the additional details.
Now the rules governing use of anabolic steroids for athletic purpose vary from state to state and your local doctor probably a GP will have the best information whether you can consider getting the monitoring done by your insurance.
Otherwise a doctor with MD in internal medicine or sports medicine is the doctor best suited to monitor you and lookout for the side-effects while you are on these plethora of medicines to improve the athletic capacity. You may let him know the details and the need for taking them and he will give you a proper list of investigations and schedule to conduct the same.
If its legally allowed in your state then the doctor will consider it under insurance or else you will have to pay from your pocket.
Hope this helps,
Regards.
