Red Blood Cells out of range

For the first time a few red blood cell markers are tripped the upper range.

The assessment that accompanied the blood work seemed pretty relaxed about it, but I think some corrective action is required.

mum thinking to give blood and reduce my weekly T dose from 140mg to 120mg.

Total T and free T are above range but in line with prior tests in 2019

Any thoughts or validation of these steps?

Yes. 20 months on TRT. Counts has always been higher end if normal range but have tripped over this time.

monotonous difference between this and last Blood test is that I had a 6 month stint of low dose deca which I had stopped 5 weeks before the latest test.
 
That would explain part of the increase although had been off deca for 6 weeks and the preceding 2 months was only on 60mg a week.

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.
