[QUOTE="madman, post: 274875, member: 13851"] Yes, many do tend to fret when it comes to hematocrit. Two camps are at play here! Numerous threads on the forum. Regardless it is a critical blood marker. Now when it comes to your TRT protocol I will put it to you like this. The smarter move would have been to split your current weekly dose of 100 mg T into twice-weekly injections (50 mg every 3.5 days) which would soften the peak and bring up your trough without even having to increase your T-dose. It is not a given that increasing your trough FT is going to make you feel better overall! Again even though your trough TT/FT may not seem stellar you are still hitting a healthy trough FT level 7 days post-injection. Your peak TT/FT (12-24 hours) post-injection let alone during the first 2-3 days every week is going to be very high. Now you are bumping up your T dose to bring up your trough FT which is all fine and dandy but the downfall is your peak TT/FT levels are going to be driven up much higher seeing as you are injecting once weekly (every 7 days) which will result in a big difference in your peak--->trough. The downfall of injecting once weekly is the big difference in peak--->trough let alone blood levels will not be as stable throughout the week. Too many try to aim for a very high trough FT without even thinking about the injection frequency. Hitting a very high trough FT injecting once weekly vs daily or EOD is a world of difference!
