[QUOTE="madman, post: 198216, member: 13851"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1616947483833.png"]13514[/ATTACH] post #3 Your levels definitely merit treating your t-deficiency but there are some contraindications: [B]*[U]If the Hct exceeds 50%, clinicians should consider withholding testosterone therapy until the etiology of the high Hct is explained[/U].[/B] Need to look into underlying reasons why your hematocrit is on the higher-end. As you need to be aware the use of exogenous T will result in driving up RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit within the first month of starting trt and can take up to 9-12 months to reach peak levels. In many cases, levels can stabilize in due time but many will also struggle with high levels and try to manage with frequent blood donations. In most cases running too high TT/FT levels will result in high hematocrit. My reply from another thread:[URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/daily-injection-experiment.23084/#post-198174']Daily Injection Experiment[/URL] Injectable T has been shown to have a greater impact on increasing HCT compared to transdermal T. 3–18% with transdermal administration and up to 44% with injection. In most cases when using injectable T high supra-physiological peaks post-injection and overall T levels (running too high TT/FT level) will have a big impact on increasing HCT. Manipulating injection frequency by injecting more frequently using lower doses of T resulting in minimizing the peak--->trough and maintaining more stable levels may lessen the impact on HCT but it is not a given. As again [U]running very high FT levels[/U] will have a stronger impact on driving up HCT. T formulation, the dose of T, genetics (polymorphism of the AR), age all play a role in the impact a trt protocol will have on blood markers (RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit). Other factors such as sleep apnea, smoking can have a negative impact on hematocrit. [/QUOTE]
