Elevated hematocrit

[Paco Cale]

good afternoon guys !!

I just received the result of my last blood work: here is what troubles me and what triggered my search for an answer

I m currently taking Cypionate .5 ml a week and nandrolone .5 ml a week too.

Test is 596
Hemoglobin is 17.3 (13.2 - 17.1)
Hematocrit is 52.8 (38.5 - 50)

I will be talking with Defy in 2 weeks. My PCP is on vacation and will be back in 1 month.
I have tendency to be dehydrated fault to drink enough water. I now take very much attention to drink. I also started to supplement with grapefruit seed extract and started eating grapefruit every day. I also started taking aspirin.

Note: There is no blood drive around for now and today is injection day.

Q: is this considered a really dangerous level?
Q: should I continue injecting nandrolone or stop for now?

I can't find answers anywhere

thanks is again for your support

Just go give blood as soon as you can. Those levels aren't "too" bad.

Thanks !! So you don't see the need to interrupt nandrolone?

Nope...those numbers are nothing I would panic about. I'm probably up there as well and donating on Monday.

I agree, I would start donating blood, there's no emergency.

Thanks guys, I will continue my protocol and as soon as I can i will donate. The issue for me is my geographical location the florida keys and I can see a mobile blood bank maybe once a month or more.
oh well!!
Would you happen to know if the grapefruit seed extract (gse) and grapefruit are an efficient way to start lowering the hematocrit?
I m reading quite a bit about this but no real clinical studies
thanks again guys got your support

sometimes donating makes a small difference, mine went from 53 to 52 from donating, however I started drinking a gallon of water a day, 4 - 32oz. cups it's easier than you think over the course of a day. the following test hema went to 48 without donating.
