60 year old male here. I have been on test cyp for 15 years. I have always struggled with elevated hematocrit and I dislike donating blood.. I lowered my dose to 12mg sub-q every other day. On that dose my hematocrit stayed around 49-50 area. Been doing that for a few years but I just don't feel right. Total T is around 550 on that dose. Couple months ago I decided to raise the dose to 16 mg every other. Feel much much better the day after the dose, but the 2nd day I start feeling crappy again.
I made the switch to Defy around same time since I think I need even more than the 16mg.
Initial labs came back - my HCT at 55.6 so they won't even start treatment until I lower that number. Tomorrow I am donating blood and will retest in a week. This is bad, I don't want to be donating blood every 60 days.
