Cholesterol levels pre-cycle. Ok or not?

[kosp]

Hi, I have been off for a long time but thinking about using the gear I didn´t use last year for the covid situation, I decided to postpone it for this year, so here we go.

I recently pulled off bloods and this came out:

Total Cholesterol 209* mg/dL [<200]
HDL 71 [>40]
LDL 123 [0-130]
Triglycerides 73 [<150]

I have to say I haven´t been moving much because I have to study a lot and just made time for the heavyweights and nothing more. Also, I liked to eat eggs (4 whole eggs a day) and generally high fats diet, which I am not doing anymore of course.

Obviously using gear won´t make it better, should I be concerned about my total above the range and my LDL close to go bad now pre-cycle?

come on guys, I know I have said some odd shit around here but give me a second chance, I promise I´ll be good. This cholesterol thing is important.

What have they been in the past?

I don't think eating eggs drives these numbers up. I eat a half dozen eggs a day, and mine went back to normal after cruising at 150mg of test a week for months.

Technically, your cholesterol numbers are "normal," but I would not like it if my numbers looked like that.

I like the HDL.

I no likey the LDL and would like to see it a little lower, like 50 points lower, but maybe your normal reset is not that low, which is the reason for my first question.

The numbers look good. Your total cholesterol is only slightly above recommendations due to your ridiculously high HDL. (That is good.)

Your total cholesterol might even drop while on cycle due to a dramatic drop in HDL.

It will be a question of whether your LDL increases more than your HDL drops.

I just checked the past bloodwork.

I see that my total was about 190 in 2015-2017 and my LDL around 88-90. Still, I see my HDL has been always very high, above 70, even close to 80, I think that explains my natural total test (always between 800-1000).

It´s true that in the last years I have been eating a high-fat diet, which I am correcting.

Interesting, I will let you all know when I pull blood after the PCT.
