[QUOTE="RSM, post: 58706, member: 14093"] I had my consultation with a P.A. from Defy. Their feedback made a lot of sense to me. Here's the summary: [LIST] [*]Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) too high for them to prescribe Testosterone. [*]They think my RBC is high because of sleep apnea (oxygen deprivation = increased RBC). They suggested getting a sleep study done and either get a CPAP or go for optional surgery to address the sleep apnea. They also think the reason for my low testosterone was the lack of Stage 4 sleep caused by the sleep apnea. This stage of sleep is critical for natural testosterone production. [*]Requested that I donate 1 pint blood to immediately bring down RBC by 3 points. They do not recommend getting into the habit of donating blood to reduce RBC because of potential of becoming iron deficient. [*]Suggested that I skip the next testosterone injection and then switch to a lower dosage injection every 3.5 days. [*]Prescribed me with HCG and an estrogen blocker - to be taken every 3.5 days as well with the option of taking it on the same day as the testosterone injections. [*]They thought my cholesterol levels were excellent for my age so no issues there. [*]They suggested that I increase my cardio to increase HDL cholesterol levels. [*]Recommended that I reduce DHEA to 25 mg for now and perhaps revert back to 50 mg later. ( I am currently taking 50 mg in the mornings.) [*]Requested that I get another blood test to check my RBC levels after the blood donation and reduction in testosterone dosage. [/LIST] I donated blood about a week ago and have not had an injection since 12/17/2016. I still have a little libido left (lol!) but did notice my energy was less intense at the gym and a little anxiety creeping in (work deadlines). I have one 200 mg / 1cc testosterone vial left and will divide this into 4 dosages (50mg per shot). I will start injecting 50 mg (0.25 cc) on Sunday (1/1/2017) with the next 50mg injection 3.5 days later for a total of 100 mg per week. I have not yet received the HCG or estrogen blocker and will start incorporating this when I have it. I have a consultation scheduled with a sleep center in a few days so they can determine the extent of my sleep apnea. I will probably go for the blood test to check my current RBC levels in about 2 weeks. Or should I go sooner? [/QUOTE]
