[QUOTE="Tron, post: 25761, member: 12371"] Hi: I'm 50 years old and I'm on TRT. 250 mg cypionate each 15 days since 4 years ago. The problem is my hematocrite is high (between 52 and 55). I feel fine with no problems, no headache, a lot of energy, and sex drive. I understand that such a high hematocrite is on risk of cardiovascular disease. Here in Spain the state pays my TRT but there are no too much blood test (one per year) and my endocrinologist doesn't not consider that my hematocrite level is dangerous. He is not very sure of that or at seems he doesn't give it any solution for this problem. I don't want to talk with him too much about this problem because I know he is going to reduce my cypionate dose to 21 days. I know this is not the solution and, of course, I want my test levels as high as possible in view of the cypionate half life is not more than 15 days. I know a possible solution I make a phlebotomy or a blood donation. The problem is that I can't donate blood because 6 years ago I had tonsil HPV cancer very soon treated. Now I'm fine and completely recovered but I can't be a blood donant. I'm a big man with 120 kg bodyweigh (150 kg bench press and 200 kg squat....) Another solution is to extract blood myself with a 14g needle. It sounds crazy, I know, but for my there are not any more possibilities because I'm sure that my endocrinologist is going to reduce my cypionate dose with doing any blood test more than one per year. Of course I'm sure he will not want to order any phlebotomy for me. I'm very conformable with needles I'm capable to puncture a vein in my arm without any problems. Of course, my wife or my son were with me if any problem arise. I have read the equation of Dr. Michael Scally, but it seems too much blood quantity for me. I would star only with 300 cc each 3 months to see if this is enough or not. Which are the problems I could find if I make a phlebo myself? I'm afraid with the air entering a vein and causing embolism. Please, any help will be welcome. I haven't much more possibilities here in Spain and with my condition? Best regards. [/QUOTE]
