[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 21939, member: 3"] A 2 percent (200 mg/ml) compounded cream works as well as 1.62% Androgel. It costs about $70 for a month supply. Not covered by insurance usually. If you have insurance, it may pay for Androgel or any of the other pharma products (Testim, Axiron, Fortesta). To be honest, I think hematocrit issues are not that different with T creams or gels compared to injections, specially if you are injecting twice per week at dose under 100 mg. You can have a doctor write you an order or call the blood center for you to get phlebotomy. I dot qualify for blood donation and have gotten my insurance to pay for the phlebotomy. If the order for phlebotomy is for a double red cell phlebotomy that may work for you at your 52 hematocrit. Double red cell donation is similar to a whole blood donation, except a special machine is used to allow you to safely donate two units of red blood cells during one donation while returning your plasma and platelets to you.
