[QUOTE="madman, post: 98041, member: 13851"] Whether on is just starting trt or has been on trt and is changing their protocol by increasing testosterone dose, changes in HCT will be seen within 1-3 months and it can take as long as 9-12 months to reach its peak. So even though many tend to see an increase early on when starting trt or in those already on trt that are trying a new protocol and increasing t dose it can take a lot longer to truly see the end result....................but most that notice an increase in HCT above the healthy range within a short time frame will either donate blood or try decreasing overall weekly testosterone dose. Even though testosterone levels (higher) and age (older individuals more sensitive) play a strong role in increasing ones HCT, there have been some studies stating that higher BMI/estradiol levels can be a contributing factor. Even than regardless of one running lower overall testosterone levels and having estradiol in a healthy range some people may always have an issue as polymorphism of the AR (androgen receptor) and CAG REPEAT LENGTHS may very well be a contributing factor as it has been shown in some studies that individuals whom posses short CAG repeat lengths are more sensitive to the effects of testosterone and can have issues with elevated hematocrit among other things. Polymorphism of the AR and ones CAG repeat length (short/long) plays a big role in an individuals sensitivity to testosterone hence it will eventually become a standard in testing in the near future when one is diagnosed with androgen disorders. We need to generate more discussion on this topic! [/QUOTE]
