Hdl and Cholesterol questions

Hello all,
I am attaching two pictures of my bloodwork, they are 2.5weeks apart from each other. I went and got blood test done so close to each other for my own curiosity as to what might happen after I star Dbol oral tablets.

my Hdl seems to have dropped very low very quickly, is this normal and to be expected while taking dbol? Or should i be worried and stop the dbol straight away. I am 2.5 weeks into a dbol cycle that i had planned to do for a weeks (30mg a day).

This is my first ever dbol cycle. I am also on Test E currently.

Any help and advise as to blood results while on orals/dbol welcomed.

Your HDL got absolutely smashed, dropping from 0.89 to 0.43 in just 2.5 weeks is rough but pretty standard with Dbol. That’s just what it does..kills HDL fast and throws your cholesterol ratio way outta whack. 8.8 total/HDL ratio is definitely on the high risk side for heart health.

Rest of the panel looks fine to me. LDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol didn’t blow out so that’s a bit of a silver lining. But you’re feeling the classic Dbol lipid hit for sure.

If you’re healthy and only planning 5 weeks, you might be fine riding it out but I’d definitely not go any longer and start running some support ASAP (fish oil, citrus bergamot, clean diet). If you’re not feeling right or blood pressure is creeping up, pulling it early wouldn’t be a bad call either.

Thank you for the info 🙏, i feel fine, blood pressure is fine at the moment, rest of blood panel that is not shown in pics is also all good. I have been on 8000mg a day fish oil already for some time, also on citrus burgamot but just relised i can up the dosage so i will do that. I already do some cardio every day or 2, i am around 14 percent body fat, 98kg. I have just ordered some niacin (coming in post). I might just go to 4 weeks and pull the pin on this cycle of dbol then, which is only 1.5 more weeks from now.
