Nandrolone and hematocrit?

[Bubbs]

I've been on 200mg nd/100mg test a week for a while as an attempt to help with my chronic joint issues. It seems to be working but I'm concerned the nd dose is too high, after a few months my hematocrit has jumped to the upper 50s and I'm generally feeling very crappy

Would 50-100mg of ND be equally effective for the joint issues without the hct spike?

I'm also concerned about the potential cardiac effects of ND although the studies I've seen used a much higher dose on rats, and my HIV+ friend tells me he has been prescribed it for years with no real issues

For those that added nandrolone to TRT - Excel Male TRT Forum

For those that added nandrolone to TRT to help with joint pain. What sort of dosage? And did it cause HCT to increase and any issues with sensitive nipples? I am thinking about asking my doctor to consider nandrolone due joint pain but dont want to have issue with HCT again. My HCT has been...

New to nandrolone - Excel Male TRT Forum

Hello everyone! I have been on 40mg Test C EOD and 500IU hcg e3d for a long time. Generally felt good. E2 in 50s-60s but never had any sexual issues there. When I have tried AIs issues arose so quit them and do 200mg Dim nightly. Last Free T was 265 and total T was 1253 So my clinic offered to...

Absolutely no need for such a dose (200 mg ND) for joint pain.

Your HCT in the upper 50's, I would be concerned.

I think it's time you lower your dose. Even if it's just for health concerns.

Hct was back to 52 this morning after a couple weeks on 100mg , pretty big drop, I wonder if it could have been hydration issues compounding things

I'm sticking with 100mg from now on

ND has a long half life, doubtful cutting the dose to 100 mg over a 2 week period would result in a meaningful drop in Hb/HCT and RBC lifespan is about 120 days and as MM stated, no need for 200 mg/wk for joints. 50 - 100 mg should be plenty. ND is a real driver of erythrocytosis, only inj androgen that is probably worse is boldenone. I'd suggest a blood donation even at 52. That is my upper limit before a phlebo.

 

[Bubbs]

Yeah I had another blood test 2 days after that 52 and it was back up to 57 (after 2 donations in 2 weeks)

I don't really understand what's happening so stopped ND completely,can hydration explain a 5 point loss then gain in days??

Hi B, been on 45 mg ND/week for almost a year. No joint pain. Nice muscle gains. Your 200 dose sounded crazy. I'm 205lbs, 6 feet. 64 years. Benching 365. ND I think helped me progress from 300 to 365. But only 45/week. Consult another MD!

Jack have you seen any muscle gains out of the 45 mg/ND a week?? Along with the joint pain management

[Fred52]

I'm very close to what you're doing. Currently on 80mg/wk of T and 50mg/wk of Nandrolone. I'm 53 (about to turn 54) 5'9" 190lbs and benching 315.

@[email protected] @Fred52 These are encouraging stories. How is your sexual function on these low dose T and ND protocols?

80mg of nandrolone a week added to my TRT protocol increased my HCT 6 points. I guess some of us are really sensitive to nandrolone when it comes to RBC production
