[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 82760, member: 972"] Most TRT MD's do not do anything if your HCT is above range. This is a fact. I'm in a similar situation. My HCT went up to 61 at one point and my hematologist stated that I did not have polycemia and to stop worrying over it. So I learned that he was looking at my platelets and not my hct and based his decision on that. I feel fine. So my understanding is just because you have high hct doesn't mean you have polycemia. A lot of MD's and people believe high hct automatically means polycemia. Those who live in high altitudes have high hct but they don't have polycemia. Quite a few TRT users cannot donate blood due to low iron and I'm also in that category. [/QUOTE]
