Latest Labs. Slight elevation in hematocrit

[Melody68]

One year in. Just had my 6month check in.
Peak Total T 1144, (injected 12 hours before test)
SHBG 19
Hematocrit 53

Cypionate: 120mg divided into twice weekly injections.

Any reason to back off to 100, given the low SHBG and hematocrit levels?
Dr wasn’t concerned and mentioned it could be dehydration or because I injected so recently, but that we’ll keep an eye on it.

I ran through the thread quickly, but unless I missed something, I didn't get your age. Is the 74 in your call handle indicative of your age?

I have tremendous confidence in the information provided by the more experienced posters on this forum. But there does seem to be some suggestion in the Traverse trial that high T levels are not good for older men. I started T at 68, my levels were high (just over the suggested ranges) and I then had a TIA, a mini stroke - something the Traverse trials indicated could be a side effect. Sure it may have been a coincidence, but I tend to believe that where there is smoke there is probably fire. I cut back my dose and do feel and look quite good now at age 70. If you're older I'd move that T dose downwards.
