[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 84671, member: 13512"] Like others have said. 50.5 is nothing to worry about. Go donate blood instead of messing around with baby aspirin etc. Aspirin will not reduce your hematocrit and your hematocrit is not in a dangerous level to warrant its use. If your hematocrit has been close to 50 in the past a 50.5 reading is not statistically different. Might be you were a bit dehydrated. Donating blood is the best idea so in case you are indeed having an increase in hematocrit due to TRT you will not be in a position where your hematocrit is too high and you will be either unable to donate or have to donate many times in a roll. Once you donate just get a CBC done every couple of months and see if the numbers stabilize. If not you can investigate further. For me drinking grapefruit juice seems to be working well to keep hematocrit under control. But have in mind tha grapefruit interacts with many drugs so always good to check that before starting drinking grapefruit daily. For me neither testosterone levels nor estradiol levels seems to have much of a effect on the velocity of hematocrit increase. Total testosterone levels as low as 650 to as high as 1300 resulted in the same increase pace of my hematocrit. My estradiol has been as low as 10 to as high as 38 (sensitive test) and no obvious changes as well. [/QUOTE]
