[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 52973, member: 2624"] You said your hematocrit was elevated. Typically, patients on TRT manage elevated hematocrit by donating blood or having their doctor schedule a therapeutic phlebotomy. This pulls the HCT back into normal range. A regular CBC keeps an eye on the levels on an ongoing basis. Pulling your testosterone back was probably wise in light of the reference range, but I wanted you to be aware that HCT can be managed in ways other than by dose manipulation should this be an issue in the future. As as for estradiol, the standard test is of little value for men. The sensitive test, LC, MS/MS, is the only way to measure E2 in men. [/QUOTE]
