Do guys with naturally high testosterone have trouble with their hematocrit?

If you have naturally high testosterone it should not affect your HCT. Why do you ask do you have a problem with high HCT along with naturally high testosterone. What does high testosterone mean to you.

My guess is that because our bodies are exceptional at self-regulating, it is more than likely that a person would not have trouble with their hematocrit with naturally higher testosterone levels unless their was an underlying blood condition. Once we inject exogenous testosterone that changes the game.

As a younger man, before my testosterone levels began dropping, I was one of those individuals with naturally high testosterone levels and my hematocrit was never a concern. As soon as I began testosterone therapy it became something that I had to monitor.

I'm not an expert and I am just sharing my thoughts and experience. I'm sure other more knowledgeable individuals on the forum with weigh in on this for you.

I'd say it becomes harder to control as you get older. Never had a problem in my youth even when injecting up to seven times that I'm on now (100mg EW). Also never knew any of my bodybuilding buddies suffer with it when on large doses but know quite a few 'oldies' on TRT that need to keep it in check.

As for natural high test levels never known anyone to suffer with it.

It is much more common than not to have increases in hemoglobin/hematocrit when using exogenous testosterone even with trt doses.....running high levels of testosterone as in well into the supra-physiological range than it is almost a given for most.

A large percentage of men using/abusing testosterone/AAS do not even get bloods done on cycle let alone pay attention to their CBC's.

Unfortunately I don't have naturally high testosterone I switched to injecting .08 daily about 6 months ago to help control my hct. This gets me to around 700 to 750. I'm at high altitude, so that's doesn't help with hct ether. I've started using a BIPAP to treat my sleep apnea about 3 months ago. Switching to daily T shots and using a Bipap has helped lower my HCT. I would like to get to a point where I don;t have to give blood.

As for my question I'm just always wondered about this.
Thanks for all your input.

Just remember if you are donating frequently keep an eye on your ferritin/iron as one can easily run into issues.

Problems with HCT in TRT= overdosing on Cyp.

It's as plain as that.
