Obviously difference of opinion in the two "experts" Old Doc I have seen for low t for 5 years but he has moved two states away and is semi retired now. New Doc approves my Test Cyp, Anastrazole, HCG protocol but is really worried my hematocrit is too high and hemoglobin is up this test. usually top range normal. I would appreciate comments and suggestions. Thank YOU.
 
I agree with your new doctor. Your H&H, along with your RBC is too high, and it needs to be addressed the sooner the better. You need to get a script for a therapeutic phlebotomy asap.

If your old doctor isn't concerned at all with a 54.1% Hematocrit, maybe it's a good thing he's semi-retired.

BTW, what is your current protocol?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
