Hi Guys

Blood lab turned me away for having Haemoglobin of 198. Apparently the limit is 185(Here in New Zealand)

I am currently on 80mg(split twice a week 40+40)of test cyp deep IM. Have been on this for 4 months and going well. Can't do and form of subq as gives me anxiety insomnia and gummyworm dick.

Should I lower my dose?

New Zealand has some elevations reaching 12,000 ft, so it would be helpful if you posted your altitude because high hemoglobin at sea level on TRT and living at high altitude also while on TRT may not present with the same vascular conditions within the body.

I find I can tolerate high hemoglobin only when my ferritin is <80.

How's your blood pressure?
