* Erythrocytosis tends to occur in the first 6 months of treatment, peaks within the first year of therapy
Again you have no clue where the OPs hematocrit would end up 6-9 months let alone at the one year mark on 140 mg T/week!
Even then seeing a big increase early on he was already not far off from 54% and chances are he would have pushed it past 54%.
Top it off his hematocrit was already on the higher-end/high pre-TTH most likely due to his OSA and he should have never been started on 140 mg T/week from the get-go!
Again you clearly burned yourself plain and simple!
Sure you want to keep an eye on things like hematocrit, but the increase usually doesn’t increase beyond the initial small bump people see at the beginning of treatment. In other words, if it had increased a few points in the first 3 months there’s no reason to think it would continue to increase over time. It’s just your body adjusting to its new environment.
Make it easier for you to understand!

Pure nonsense!
Guess what he stated in post #16 went over your head too!
My complaint to my urologist was hey, libido was part of the reason I started TRT and it's gotten worse not better at x-dosage, certainly I was referring to the honeymoon phase where a breeze would have me standing tall. So he said ok go back up to 140 mg and use aromasin to control estrogen, pretty sure his reasoning for starting me on an AI was me having anxiety, and lack of libido as well as just general irritability. It was certainly an odd appointment he didn't give much by the way of instruction on when to use AI or if my blood work comes back at this amount then use it. It was just an ok here ya go type thing.
Yet you seemed to be dead set that 140 mg T/week is where its at you know that protocol that unfortunately he never stayed on long enough before experimenting with lower doses let alone before his doc made him drop his dose!
I could run circles around you and some of those sheep you surround yourself with on here.
You making this way too easy!
