Well.... does anything on this list show a sign of dizziness?? Anything look odd?
The good news is your hematocrit (47%) is lower than what you were hitting on your previous bloodwork from Sept.30/2021 but your RBCs are still high and you have low MCV, MCH, and high RDW which could be an indication of a nutrient deficiency (iron, folate, b12).
I would look into testing your ferritin/iron.
Still looking forward to seeing where your trough TT, FT, and estradiol sit on your current protocol let alone SHBG.
From post #16
Based on all my research it seems my body makes more RBC while on straight Test Cyp without mixing anything else. When I was taking Test Cyp along with Deca the RBC didn't jump nor did the Hematocrit/Hemoglobin as much. In fact... it didn't even come close to how the RBC multiplies quicker on Test Cyp alone. Why? Does anyone know?
Although ND can drive up RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit it is more common when using high doses.
You were only injecting 70 mg/week split (35 mg every 3.5 days) which is not that high of a weekly dose.
Some men may have issues even when using lower doses but it would be far from common.
