I am starting to get frustrated about my blood work and my progress on modifying my TRT protocol. I listed my process as stages lol.
Stage # 1: 200mg Test Cyp weekly. split to 2 X a week injections IM) with Arimidex .5mg 2x a week. My blood work was a mess. RBC, Hemoglobin, HCT was sky high. Blood pressure was high and my T (free and total were sky high). Stupid! I did this for well over a year. Felt "OK" but not great.
Stage # 2: 140mg of Test C (split to 2x a week injections IM) and Arimidex at .5mg 2x a week. My numbers were as follows: RBC 5.98 m/ul, hemaglobin 18 g/dl, hematocrit 55.2, estradial ultra sensitive 32 pg/ml, Total Testosterone 753 ng/dl, free testosterone 221.8. I felt decent, happy with the results of sleep, mood, workouts, sex drive was decent too. I think maybe my estrogen was a little low and I has some aches and pains in my joints but nothing crazy.
Stage # 3: 140mg of Test C per week, DAILY subq injections. NO AI. RBC 5.49 m/ul, hemoglobin 17.2 g/dl, hematocrit 49.5, estradial ultra sensitive 79 pg/ml, Total Testosterone 684 ng/dl, free testosterone 193.3.
Stage 3!!! I got my blood thickness down a lot from hydrating a bunch and daily injextions (i think). I am super happy with how I feel. Its been about 16 weeks of so. I love the daily painless injections with a slin pin. GREAT IN THE GYM!, GREAT SEX DRIVE! NO Aches or pains in my joints. Sleep is amazing. BUT....I thought doing daily injections my estrogen # would of been at a better number. Maybe it is at an accetable number and I just dont know it??
What are your guys thoughts?
