    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    My understanding is that donating signals your body to spike hematocrit shortly afterwards, so you end up in a cycle of having to regularly donate to control hematocrit.

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    I almost positive I accidentally took back to back doses in the week before the last test that further increased the TT even more. I also understand that those with artery disease should further limit hematocrit due to heart strain. Title: Testosterone Therapy in Men With Hypogonadism: An...

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    The last one is from the middle of last year. My SHBG has been in the twenties or up to 33 the few times it has been checked, I don’t have a lot of SHBG. The first 2 images are from when I was doing SubQ at 40 mg EOD and I felt fine. I started messing with IM and increasing the dose and ended up...

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    I’ve seen a lot of debate on this but my cardiologist wants me on a Mediterranean style diet.

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    I think I felt best when mine was between 700 and 800. It was like 1190 this last time but I may have messed up the shots the weeks before. I think I feel best at 40 to 44 mg EOD and that kept my hematocrit down some along with going SubQ. My clinic doesn’t require me to get SHBG or free test...

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    My hematocrit was 49.5 in May. I was on 44 mg every other day subcutaneus. I was still getting the painful lumps so I tried switching to IM into the delt with 27 gauge right after the May labs. I think this, plus increasing the dose to 48 mg EOD caused the increase, unless I was a lot better...

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    Thanks. The CAC was from about 5 years ago but I’ve been on 40 mg rosuvastatin since then and passed a stress test in the last 2 years. I wasn’t on TRT back then though so my hematocrit wasn’t high.

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    Is there a reduction in the maximum recommended hematocrit value as a function of coronary calcium score? I currently have a 52.8 hematocrit with a past CAC score of 153.

    Medsbase Zyhcg

    I tested this and it failed at a concentration of 53 mIU/ml which is about 2 times the listed test sensitivity of 25 mIU/ml. It passed at 33.33 IU/ml which is so high it is basically checking if there is any HCG in it at all. Therefore, if the test is based on 25 mIU/ml and it failed at almost...

    Medsbase Zyhcg

    I just received 3 packs of Zyhcg from Medsbase. It only took approx 2 weeks from ordering to delivered which I was impressed with. I noticed the box didn’t have any kind of a sticker seal at the ends like those small boxes sometimes do. I also noticed the vial and Bac water were loose in the...

    Where can I get HCG now?

    Do you guys trust the HCG and bac water is sterile when ordering from those online pharmacies based in India?

    Injection frequency and labs

    No blood donations, I added a low dose daily aspirin per my cardiologist and added Omega 3,6,9 and drink a lot of water still. I feel 3 times better than I did on a single dose of 200 mg. No idea about iron and ferritin. I will drop the AI, I may do 0.5 mg for a couple of weeks so I can start...

    Injection frequency and labs

    Latest labs attached. 1. I took the advice here and went with multiple shots a week and have lowered the dose from 200 mg to 160 mg. I think I am going to end up with 2 or 3 shots a week, likely in the delts. I get these painful lumps if I exceed more than 0.3 ml whether I inject subq or IM...

    switching clinics to get away from test/anastrazole mixture and Gonadorelin

    I’m glad I saw this thread. My clinic sold me 10 weeks of Gonadorelin that I started to microdose daily in hopes of getting some kind of benefit but now I will just throw it in the trash.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
