[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 255148, member: 16042"] Likewise, lab numbers need to be accompanied with reference ranges, Free T at 38 on the generic labcorp direct test is high (Yours probably is, due to the context of 1500). On Quest equilibrium dialysis it is middle of the range. The total T over 1500 does imply high hematocrit. Apparently you didn't get this tested? Did you have a CBC done? And estradiol? If so, what E2 test? So are you talking: .3 ml of T cyp 200mg/ml = 60mg 2x/week for 120mg/week? and .2ml of 200 mg.ml - 40mg x2/ week for 80mg/week? Lowering dose is a good move. It will take around 6-8 weeks for your blood T levels to drop from that change. You may feel like ass as your level drops, but have faith, it will improve in the long term. If you do have high HGB/HCT, yes donating blood would be very good as long as ferritin is adequate, so get ferritin tested. Taking testosterone lowers ferritin because iof the extra redblood cellproduction due to hepcidin inhibition. Donating blood also lowers ferritin. Low ferritin is all too common for men on testosterone who donate too much blood. If you do have high hematocrit, and don't dontate, expect it to take 6 months for your hematocrit to resolve naturally. Red blood cells live long, and that's about when they will have completely been replaced with new cells and level normalized [/QUOTE]
