Saliva Test After Steroids?

[County RS]

Hi, how long after you have used oral steroids would a saliva test with a TRT specialist be effected? When would your saliva show natural results? Do oral steroids decrease or increase the test results?

Thanks.

County Welcome, personally I know nothing about saliva test after steroids, but I'm sure there is someone here who does.
I saw this was your first post and just wanted to welcome you.

Hormone saliva testing is not accurate. Blood testing is the way to go.

Anabolic steroids (oral or injectable) decrease our natural production of testosterone. That effect can last weeks or months depending on dose and length of usage. If you are on TRT this is not applicable.

Anabolic steroids also decrease sex hormone binding globulin, HDL and increase hematocrit. I can tell when someone has been on anabolics recently by looking at those three values along with depressed LH and FSH.
