good information just wanted to ad there might be a correlation between estrogen and homocysteine.

Fasting total homocysteine concentrations were significantly reduced by combined estradiol-progestogen replacement. Women with high homocysteine levels at baseline benefit the most. The progestogens used in this study did not have an unfavorable effect on homocysteine metabolism.

CONCLUSION:

Our data suggested that hormone therapy (unopposed estrogen or estrogen associated with progestin) may have a positive influence on decreasing cardiovascular risk due to a significant reduction in homocysteine levels.

These are study's in women I couldn't find any for men but I think its important not to crash your E2 as well in other words balance is key.  Does anyone have any idea what kind of effects progestin alone has on hematocrit and homocysteine?
