The difference from when I was on approx 40 mg and this time at 32 mg is that I am also using hCG and didn't know how much that would affect my total testosterone and hematocrit. I will increase the dose once I am done with the hCG.
Okay this is what I’ve done.
1. I figured my Free T on my last labs in November with my hematocrit high was around 32 ng/dl. I based this on a previous SHBG value I got last May combined with the 1260 total T and albumin of 4.7 I had in November when my hematocrit was 32.8.
2. I stopped...
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.
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.

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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
