Hi all so update did another draw at 150 a week my TT was in the 1100’s 96 hours post and e2 around 40, hct up to 52. Dropped dose to 140 mg and TT is 1036 e2 45 hct 51%
Thoughts on dropping to 130mg a week to get all my numbers down into better range?
One other change I’ve noticed since being on pharma grade is my BP has gone up especially diastolic . I was regularly 110-115 over 70-75 and am now 120-130 over 85-95.
Thoughts welcome and appreciated
Donating blood with HCT at this levels is decreasing the benefits of TRT.
Bear in mind different labs have different ranges.
NHS hematocrit range goes up to 54. You’d be well under even a flag.
This got my vote
I was at 53 on one test I did donate blood as well
Why are you trying to lower into range? If you’re not experiencing bad side effects, I wouldn’t worry about ever-changing normal ranges
Interesting question I guess I would say just to be safe. I’m in great physical shape so trt for me is not about body comp and more about maximizing my health as I age ( I’m 45) so keeping within physiological levels ( high end) is where I’d like to be. The rise in bp is concerning as it is definitely a health marker that I was always in ideal spot and now I’m not so that is something I’d definitely like to remedy.
