[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 212089, member: 38109"] The caveat on the safety of TRT is that blood work should be "ok". Although it's not settled science, there are legitimate concerns about the long-term elevation of hemoglobin/hematocrit. There are various threads here on the subject, e.g. [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/high-hematocrit-increases-blood-viscosity-does-that-matter-in-men-on-trt-effect-of-altitude.18114/']this one[/URL]. In October you mentioned you'd dropped to 160 mg per week, presumably testosterone cypionate. At an average of 16 mg testosterone per day, that's still well above the natural production range of 3-9 mg. You could cut your dose in half and still be getting more testosterone than the average healthy young man makes naturally. In short, you could probably make this issue go away if you were willing to revert to physiological dosing. Unfortunately, while dose increases feel good, dose decreases often feel bad for a fair bit of time. But it's likely to be worth it for your health in the long run. [/QUOTE]
