Hemoglobin Normalizing of Its Own?

[incautious]

I've been on HRT for 5 years or so. Currently on Testim as that's what insurance covers. I've always donated blood every 2-3 months because of high Hemoglobin/Hematocrit. But a funny thing started happening over the last year, my Hemoglobin has been drifting down on its own. I've been as high as 19.3(me bad) but the last three times I've donated it's been 18.0 17.3 16.5. I've not changed anything in my diet, still exercise, still have a beer etc. My total T serum levels is the same around 550 ish which is where my Uro wants it. Has anyone else experienced this. Just wondering if my body has finally adapted to HRT on its own. My blood work always comes back spot on normal after donating so that was never an issue.

That's what we all hope for, our HCT normalizing. I donated blood every 8 weeks for just over 2 years, then finally my HCT normalized. It's held steady at 47% now for over a year now.

There's some minor evidence that this stabilizes in a small number of guys, kind of a unicorn type of thing.

Mine stabilized a long time ago. There is some evidence in animal studies that this can happen.

Hematocrit may stabilize after long term testosterone replacement
Does hematocrit keep increasing after testosterone steady state? How often to check?
