I just had my HCT checked yesterday HCT 46.9 % 39.0 - 51.0 % range

I haven't donated blood for one year. I started daily injections of testosterone on February 20th 2017, a week away from one year. I had my Wellness exam yesterday and she ran a CBC labs on me, everything was in the good range.

Vince what is your SHBG? I'm a high SHBG guy and I also have to donate blood every 8 weeks. Currently injecting TCyp 2xwk .25 ml and I am looking at doing EOD or daily's in hopes of controlling HCT levels but, not sure if this will work with elevated SHBG. I have a consult coming up and intend to discuss this with Dr.

My shbg normally runs right in the middle range, just under 40.
