[QUOTE="S1W, post: 107448, member: 16947"] HealthMan and FeelingLost, I had a similar surprise with my labs last week. My hematocrit was high previously - it got as high as 52.1 when my peak TT was 734 (264-916) and my trough TT was 497. Made a protocol change - dropped HCG completely and increased T dose a bit (no AI). I told my wife before labs "I hope HCT hasn't gone up because I'm finally feeling good since starting TRT on this new protocol and don't want to have to change anything." My labs on new protocol showed peak TT of 1482 (264-916) and trough TT of 879. Highest I've ever been. So I was a bit scared looking through the lab report to my next area of focus - hematocrit. And to my surprise it went DOWN a fair amount to 48.4! I was very pleasantly surprised. This triggered a lot of questions in my mind since I had always assumed higher TT = higher HCT. So I spent a bit of time crunching numbers from labs from past protocols. I noticed a correlation between TT:E2 ratio and HCT. The higher TT:E2 ratios were associated with lower HCT, lower ratios with higher HCT. Now, my sample size is only 4 (I only have 4 sets of labs from 4 different protocols) so this is far from scientific and makes my results somewhat meaningless. But since apparently you, FL, and I like to geek out about this stuff, maybe you guys could look through previous labs and see what your results tell you and report back? [/QUOTE]
