    Strattera side effects?

    Advice on TRT lab levels - high estradiol and hematocrit

    I would lower my T to 100 mg per week, keep the hCG at 250 IU twice per week, and get therapeutic phlebotomy. Even with one blood donation, your hematocrit will still be high at 56-57. I would wait a month to do another blood donation. Stay hydrated and take a baby aspirin. Your estradiol is...
