[QUOTE="trt1, post: 71322, member: 15719"] Hi everyone, 1 began trt around September 2016 after a long battle with the symptoms of low T. Tried everything under the sun prior to no avail. My basic question is, can a man have blood ranges all within rage on the CBC any still feel very unwell due to thicker more viscious blood? I always read about users donating when their blood is over 50 hematocrit and 17-18 hemoglobin but I appear to be quite unwell in the normal range when my hemoglobin is at 17 hematocrit at 47 and rbc's above 5.10. Could I be missing something? My initial labs prior to TRT via labcorp RBC 4.88 Hemoglobin 14.8 Hematocrit 44.7 Platelets 175 Test, serum 435 Estradiol Roche 21.1 the dr commented that my hematocrit was already quite high at 44.7, he asked where I lived (Denver 5280 feet) and asked if I do a lot of cardio. I do cycle quite a bit. When I began via a mens health clinic they started me at 200 mg test cyp injected once a week with a 1mg tablet of anastrozole. This gave me great t values over 1200 but I dont think that much didnt jive with my body. and within 1-2 months my blood started feeling like sludge, I could feel my blood going up my carotid artery and through the veins is a slow sludge like manner. I could barely play basketball because I was constantly running out of breath. I had labs done shortly after and the following showed up RBC 5.35 Hemoglobin 16.3 Hematocrit 49.6 Platelets 198 Test, serum 1111 Estradiol Roche 16.2 I felt so poor that before I received the results I went to donate blood which I was deathly afraid of, due to my symptoms, I was positive from reading forums here that my blood was too thick. After the donation I felt the symptoms subside. Recently I switched over to Primebody from Royal Mens, since I didn't like the fact that they compunded the Anastrozole into my test cypionate, I wanted the opportunity modulate the AI dosage as I see fit and wasnt aware if injecting an AI was ok. I now take 120mg test cyp for Hallandale once a week and recently began having my thick blood type symptoms again so I donated whole blood and felt slightly better. 2 days passed and I began feeling unwell again with the thick blood symptoms, heart felt like it was pumping sludge. I took myself to the URGENT care. Thick blood type feeling in my veins especially in my neck making it feel almost stiff and slight difficulty breathing unable to do intense weights or cardio which is never an issue. Towards the end of my week I begin to feel better with my symptoms subsiding. Then when I take another dose I feel the symptoms creeping back up. This week I took only 50 mg on Monday and was planning to take the other 50 half on thursday but my neck stiffness and discomfort returned with a vengance on half the dosage. I tried to donate blood but was denied due to a slightly high temperature. TOok labs yesterday which I got today and I was not feeling well that day either. RBC 5.25 Hemoglobin 15.9 Hematocrit 47.7 Platelets 210 Test, serum 608 Estradiol Roche 28.7 The last 2 times I gave blood my hemoglobin was 17.2 & 17.1 respectively. I always overhydrate before these donations so my readings of hemo dont jive with my readings from labs. Thanks for your time gents. Regards, Mike [/QUOTE]
