Does hematocrit change much from peak to trough?

No. In theory red blood cell production can change but the number of red blood cells shouldn’t change given their life cycle is around 100-120 days

I wish I could explain it. It rose slightly in the early stages of therapy, that was it. I could sell the information if I knew why.

A few posts with HCT in low 50s above. At what level do you guys start to get concerned about it/feel that it needs to be managed through donations, etc?

vince, I don't like you anymore either!!!! Congrats to you and CW for working your way to good numbers on HCT

I have been to several different dr's including 2 hematologist. Both were happy if I could stay under 54. Given I was pushing 50 before TRT. SO my personal goal is 50-52 range. I will never see below 50

Those are some way out of the "range" figures ..... Guess that is what is needed for you to feel good. Thankfully you have a doc that doesn't just look at the numbers and stops at the upper end of the range

I did donate blood every 8 weeks for 2 years, thankfully last February 2017 my HCT finally stabilized.

Those numbers are from December 2nd 2017, I was injecting 20 mg of testosterone daily. I'm now injecting 16 mg daily, I'm sure my numbers are much lower. I'm thinking of doing Labs March 5th.
I still get my HCT check regularly, I'm always concerned that it could rise.
