just did my 6 weeks bloodwork, at start of TRT my hemocrit was 46.0. now after 6 weeks of using 50 mg mon and thurs (100 mg per week) my HCT jumped to 52.0...what can I do and why the huge spike. I hate to stop
 
I read thank you ! still don't get the spike in my HCT on only100 mg of cyp per week. getting frustrated if I have to stop because of this
 
Hi,
Do you have, or have you been checked for sleep apnea? I ran into that when I started TRT and I got a CPAP and it fixed me.

Just go donate blood before your hematocrit is too high for the blood center to accept you as a donor. In such cases you will need a doctor prescription.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
