What is the most effective shallow IM dosing regimen to help lower high RBC’s, H&H? Is it ED, EOD or E3.5 days? I know everyone responds differently, but has anyone had success with one protocol vs another. I have read that 2x week may be beneficial. Any insights provided are appreciated.

What is considered a high dose of transdermal DHEA cream?

I believe in an earlier post you mentioned that it takes 7 days to reach steady state and you felt great right away. I have been on Jatenzo 237mg BID for ten days.

My baseline hematocrit is 50 without being on testosterone. My doctor will discontinue therapy at 54 or require blood donation. Tanked ferritin in past with frequent donations. My blood pressure also goes up with increase in hematocrit and hemoglobin

How soon after non-scrotal test cream application should I have labs drawn to measure testosterone levels? My understanding was 3-4 hours after application for blood draw. Thanks in advance for any feedback

Thanks for the reply. What other body parts will you apply?

Could a low dose of 25mg or 50 mg 1x day scrotal application be effective without elevating DHT too much?

Unfortunately iron supplements raise RBC etc so I can’t take them until my levels come down. What are pb issues?

Do you also have high RBC, Hct and hgb. If so how do you manage it with low ferritin

The good news is my blood pressure has not increased at all, currently 120/75 and my resting heart rate is 55. I am 56 years old 6’3” 218lbs. Regular exercise and clean diet. Platelets currently 160 thousand/uL, prior to injections 150 thousand/uL
