Thanks for taking the time to reply! Appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I’m not the best about staying hydrated.

I guess I’d look for more stable levels, but I guess I don’t really have any reasons. Not sure I’d notice any real changes.

Hematocrit runs from 50-51. If that what HCT is. It was at 47-48 for years. Not really sure what the increase was about, but it’s stabilized at 50/51 now. I’m assuming that is okay.

I’ve been on TRT for 12 years. I’ve always done 200/mg per ML once a week. I’m thinking about trying dosing 3x a week using subq. What should the dose be. I know it’s 66.6. Do you just round down to 65? Sorry if it’s a goofy question.

Are there any issues with hematocrit running around 50-51? This has happened on the past two labs. They used to be 47-48 on the same dose a few years ago, not really sure where the increase came from.

A little concerned about this, triglycerides especially stand out from the previous results.

I know Defy Medical does not file insurance claims. Blue Cross Blue shield allows you to file claims. This would save me around 40% off visits. The doctor I see can run all the necessary bloodwork. Has anyone had any luck with insurance claims.

I know defy does not deal with insurance. BCBS allows you to file a claim yourself. Has anyone had any luck with this?

What about one the hemoglobin side being on the higher end?

Hematocrit 46.2 on a range of 37.1 to 51 Hemoglobin 16.1 on range of 12.6 to 17.7 Would these levels be anything to be alarmed about?

Interesting, is hemoglobin being high as bad as hematocrit.

Just wanting to see if my blood work is within range on both hematocrit and hemoglobin. My hematocrit is sitting in the midrange but my hemoglobin is in the upper range. What would be the difference?

17 e2 Hematocrit 46.2 on a range of 37.1 to 51 Hemoglobin 16.1 on range of 12.6 to 17.7
