[QUOTE="BrooklynJerry, post: 209148, member: 40082"] I'm 71yo and have concerns about HCT levels.I currently using testosterone cream on the scrotum. It is 200mg/gm strength I was using 1/2gm twice a day for 2 months. They just increased the dosage to 3/4gm twice a day. I had 2 times over the past few years used 2x a week injectables, but quit over concerns of high blood pressure, cholesterol and HCT. I had whole donated blood in August, my HCT was 50. I went to donate yesterday, they first asked if I wanted to donate platelets, I knew this doesn't lower HCT so I said no. Then was asked about double red donation, I accepted. When the technician began the procedure he said it was good that I did this because my number was high (didn't get #). I guess they take quite a bit since you can't donate anything for 4 months.I have a regular check up scheduled in Nov. I'm hoping the results show the HCT is lower. Anyone here has done or heard of this? [/QUOTE]
