Been on actual trt injections about 5-6 months.
Starting at 100mg 2x shot a week. That brought me a trough total t in the 550s. And FT in the bottom 1/3 of the range. My hematocrit was at 47.4 3 months ago at this dose. We increased dose to 120mg per week 2x a week injections. And my current labs are trough levels of 840 total with free T at 94 towards the top of the range. estrogen 69 however, my hematocrit shot up to 53.7. I feel better with free t up in this range and dose.
However, my urologist advised, on lowering dose to 110mg and advised strongly to give blood.
We did do confirmation lab draws again today, results im waiting on.
I am surprised such a small change in dose made such a difference. Thoughts?
