Daily TRT (subq) to help with hematocrit?

Switched my protocol from 2x a week (Monday Am and Thursday PM) of Test Cyp 140mg a week (70 per shot). I was on that protocol for over a year and my blood tests kept giving me high hematocrit numbers like 56, 58, 54.

Donations (double red) helped a bit but still higher than I had liked.

About 8 weeks ago I switched to Sub-q daily injections of 20mg test cyp. My hope is this should help with a few of the sides such as the higher hematocrit. I also stopped my Arimidex to see where my estrogen was at with ED trt.

I plan on getting my bloodwork at 10 weeks to see where I am at.

I can say that my sex drive is waaaaay higher after starting ED injections. Way higher!

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
