Yes, I can’t remember if it was lower or higher but defiantly was close.Same here, but the finger stick for me is always much higher.

@M.J Do you have an update since you lowered your dose?I decreased my testosterone dose to 20mg eod and hct stabilized around 49.
But hemoglobin still went up a bit.
Now I have reduced it further and anxiety is much less now. Better over all
Testing this lower dose to see how it goes. Time will tell.
I stopped this testing as. Had to travel and decided to stop hcg. As this trip is a it long.@M.J Do you have an update since you lowered your dose?
Ok. Curious how you go. Thanks.I stopped this testing as. Had to travel and decided to stop hcg. As this trip is a it long.
Which has giving me the time to test my protocol without hcg.I feel I should have tested testosterone alone without hcg Long time back. until now I feel much better but I would talk about this more once I give it enough time.
Been 2 to 3 weeks without hcg. Morning wood daily. I will talk about it later.
Regarding hematocrit I went back to 20mg I hope if I lowered it my protocol would be as good. Bottom line I have no answer yet still testing but for sure lowering dose stabilized hematocrit.
