[QUOTE="DFL, post: 171076, member: 18604"] I've been on TRT for about 2 years now, with Defy most of that time. Here's how things looked from my last labs in September: Total T: 655 Free T: 21 Hematocrit: 52.1 E2 Sensitive: 32.9 SHBG (from previous lab): 23.4 DHEA (previous labs): 353 Protocol: 50MG Cyp 2x/week 400iu HCG at the same time I'm 52 years old. I've had problems with high hematocrit since the beginning, sometimes approaching 55. I give blood every 90 days. So before starting TRT I had been divorced and depressed for 2 years and not having sex. Around the time I started TRT I met a girl and had no problems. But soon after it began getting a little more difficult so I started taking Cialis. Soon after that I met another girl, who I was (am) very attracted to, and I started having a lot of problems. More difficulty getting and staying erect, and more difficult and less intense orgasms. From then on I have taken Cialis, then Viagra, and now Verdenafil (love it!) EVERY time I have sex. I pretty much HAVE to. And I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have to. That all started as I eased into TRT. I've been thinking about it for 2 years, why? Estrogen? Tried low dose Anastrozole, made me a zombie (extreme sedation). And then the other day I suddenly thought "Wait! My blood is too thick, and ED meds work by opening up the blood vessels for increased blood flow!" Seems like a connection to me, and I'm surprised I hadn't thought of it before. Is this a thing? Anyone else had this problem? Am I on the right track? I don't think there's much I can do to lower the hematocrit other than lower the dosages? I tried grape seed extract and it did nothing. I tried 3x week injections and alternating with HCG and that didn't help either. I really appreciate any input. [/QUOTE]
