[QUOTE="lowtdunce, post: 192578, member: 16481"] I was hesitant to change anything because I've been doing very well for a long time now on 200mg a week with 400iu of HCG every other day. The one complaint was constantly rising hematocrit. Donating every 2-3 months doesn't bother me but after one bad experience at the red cross I developed a bit of a white coat syndrome... I'd end up getting a high pulse rate and blood pressure just when I go in and got denied 3 different times. Frustrating because I'm normal otherwise. That led me to get setup to have blood taken by my doctor but cost me around $170 each visit and that recently increased. SO... decided to try the daily dosing to see if it would work for me. This is only one set of labs into it but it looks promising and if anything I might actually be feeling a bit better than when on 200mg a week. No symptoms of low ferritin and haven't had it checked in a couple years but getting away from frequent donations is probably best long term. I had ferritin in the high 20s early on in my TRT journey.. probably after 1-2 donations. This is with no donations and about a month between labs. Last labs on 200mg/wk trough day RBC: 6.10 HCT: 52.2 Hemo: 17.9 E2 sensitive: 15.5 (8-35) Total T: 757 Free T: 24.2 (6.8-21.5) Labs on 20mg a day right b4 next injection -kept the 400iu of HCG every other day RBC: 6.13 HCT: 51.8 Hemo: 17.1 E2 Sensitive: 48 (<29) Total T: 802 Free T: 174.3 (35-155) Had I continued with 200mg a week I would have cleared a HCT of 53 I'm sure based on my history. E2 might be a touch high but I'm not noticing it. Total right about the same. Looks like maybe I could nudge down from 20mg or consider a tiny amount of AI. Or maybe reduce the HCG a bit. I do have some numbers for peak while on 200mg a week and my total is >1500 with E2 @ 60 and Free T over 30.. the kind of numbers you would expect at that level I suppose. Not really posting for advice, just more of an FYI - here's what I learned kind of thing. Because I like to have my cake and eat it too I will run this 20mg a day for awhile to see if the effect on HCT is real. Ideally it is but then I'd also like to go back to 200mg a week for short periods when I really want to get after it in the gym - otherwise I feel like its a waste unless I just need that to feel my best, which doesn't seem to be the case.
