[QUOTE="madman, post: 278059, member: 13851"] Where did your hematocrit sit pre-TRT? Screenshot of your labs is showing an extremely high hematocrit 59% which is well over the cut-off 54%. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1711638943299.png"]42619[/ATTACH] If anything I would be retesting it and regardless it will most likely come back high due to your very high trough FT level which also means your peak levels will be much higher. Although other factors such as dehydration, sleep apnea, smoking, asthma, COPD can cause elevated hematocrit this is a common side-effect when using exogenous testosterone especially from running too high a trough FT level. Clear as day that your starting dose 175 mg T/week split into twice-weekly injections (87.5 mg every 3.5 days) is too high seeing as you are hitting a very high trough TT 1143 ng/dL with a normal SHBG 33.1 nmol/L which has your trough FT 27.8 ng/dL very high! Your peak TT, FT and estradiol will be even higher. Estrogen is expected to be higher due to high FT. Your FT wass calculated using the linear law-of-mass action cFTV. Again with a very high trough TT 1143 ng/dL, normal SHBG 33.1 nmol/L and Albumin 4.5 g/dL your trough FT 27.8 ng/dL is very high! [ATTACH type="full" alt="1711638447028.png"]42615[/ATTACH] You were overmedicated on T from the get-go let alone hCG was thrown in to boot. Common starting dose is 100 mg T/week or better yet 50 mg T every 3.5 days. Most men are injecting 100-200 mg T/week. The majority of men can easily hit a healthy/high trough FT injecting 100-150 mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections. Yes there are some outliers that may need the higher-end dose 200 mg T/week but it is far from common as in RARE! Complete overkill to say the least. You need to rethink this one through. Too many caught up on that more T is better mentality let alone thinking they need to be hitting >1000 trough TT with an absurdly high trough FT to boot! Pure nonsense pushed by those dime a dozen T-mills let alone all those blast n cruizerzzz polluting all the so called men's health forums littered on the internet!
