I would try increasing T dose

I didn’t get tested but my iron parameters were normal before trt

Yup. I had the exact same problem. TRT can lower hepcidin and cause this in some people. Blood donation can also cause this. IP6 + Apolactoferrin solved this problem for me. Now my serum iron and iron saturation are normal. Before they were really high I use Jarrow brand 2 caps of IP6 and 1 cap...

Just to add to this. Dropped my dosage from 100mg Testosterone Cypionate + 80mg Nandrolone Decanoate to 60mg Testosterone Cypionate + 40mg Nandrolone Decanoate and my hematocrit dropped from 56.1 to 52.7 in 6 weeks. Hemoglobin dropped from 19.1 to 17.7.

I use 20mg of telmisartan and have no issues. Losartan though made me tired. But you should give it sometime to see if this is transient. How long have you been using it?

I hear you. I have been there before more than once. In my experience the best course of action is stick to 20mg daily until it is gone (probably another couple of weeks for you). Then drop to 10mg for 5-7days. 5 mg for another 5-7days. 10mg ED might also work well but you never know (for me...

For me too. Tamoxifen also makes me feel weird. For me it usually takes close to 2 months for it to get rid of gyno. Most importantly you have to tweak your protocol so that it does not reoccur

For gynecomastia Tamoxifen works by binding to estrogen receptors in your nipple and starving them from estrogen. If you abruptly stops tamoxifen these receptors will get back to binding to estrogen (maybe too quickly) and that in theory can cause your gyno to reoccur. You want this process to...

Depending on the masks it really restricts oxygen. Some studies done on some masks designed to do that show an increase in hematocrit.

Did anyone experienced slightly higher hematocrit levels after starting to workout with masks?

Great information! Thanks a lot.

I agree. Different tests were used. Not sure why but i checked the lab RX and these were the tests requested (even had the test number). I guess the test that is influenced by nandrolone might be warranted because then you can at least have a measure of change in hormones? Not sure.

No doubt about it. I just wasn’t expecting such a major change. Most users here only experience a couple of points increase in HCT after adding nandrolone

i added nandrolone because of joint pain. It pretty much fixed my joint pain. I am planning to reduce my dosage to 60-70mg testosterone and 30mg nandrolone. My consultation is in a few weeks

Yup. I knew thar about TT but also wondering if same applies to FT (which it should) but just the magnitude of the change is huge compared to the change in TT. TT less than 2x while FT almost 4x higher

Overall pretty much the same. The only big difference has been on my joint pain and overall pain.

What is your testosterone dosage and injection schedule?

Thanks Jason. Daily or more frequent injections never worked for me to lower HCT (although i only tested this with testosterone alone) I am thinking about changing my dosage to 60mg testosterone + 40mg nandrolone instead of 100mg testosterone + 80mg nandrolone and see if the joint benefits...

Any idea why FT so high? Does nandrolone bind to SHBG leaving more Testosterone available this way?

80mg of nandrolone a week added to my TRT protocol increased my HCT 6 points. I guess some of us are really sensitive to nandrolone when it comes to RBC production

100mg testosterone cypionate + 80mg nandrolone decanoate a week

My joints improved like 70%. I started using because of that

Trough. I haven’t donated blood in years. HCt normally sits around 48-49. So def nandrolone has a big impact on my HCT

Added 80mg nandrolone decanote to my current protocol of 100mg testosterone cypionate a week Total Testosterone 1491 (264-916) Free Testosterone 87.07 (5-21) Estradiol 21.5 (8-35) Hematocrit 56.1 (37.5-51) Cholesterol Total 168 (100-199) HDL 41 (>39) Triglycerides 107 (0-149) LDL 107 (0-99)...

Just got my bloodwork results after adding nandrolone to my protocol. Hematocrit jumped 8 points from 48 to 56 so i will stop using it for this reason. Total Testosterone 1491 (264-916) Free Testosterone 87.07 (5-21) Everything else pretty much unchanged including lipids

I did bloodwork with Labcorp on Feb/16/21 and I still didn’t get my results (the usual Defy yearly labwork). I have used Labcorp for years and this never happened. I have contacted them but so far no reply. I spoke to Defy and they didn’t get anything either. Has anyone here had issues with...

Back to 3.5D. It improved but was still having high serum iron issues. Only after adopting this supplement protocol my issues were completely resolved. I have recently added nandrolone to my protocol so lets see if things stay under control

For the first time in years I was able to do squats and virtually no pain. Zero side effects so far. I just had to increase anastrozole dosage by 20%. No tell tell signs of elevated hematocrit (usually when my hematocrit gets elevated and rub my hands back and forth on my forearms it would get...
