Very high estrogen, how much should I increase my arimidex?

What is your hematicrit level right now?

This was when on 5mg testogel a day:

Hemoglobin: 148g/L (134-170)
Hematocrit: 0,43 (0,39 - 0,50)


Heart attack on 230mg testosterone a week for 4 months? Isnt his just fear mongering?

I'm certainly not an expert, maybe others can chime in but my hematicrit jumped up 6 or 8 points introducing just 86mg of T every week. Fear mongering? The dose you are getting is above therapeutic levels. Certainly not extreme like some body builders but is above the recommended max level for hypogonadism. Personally, I would be concerned though. My father died of a stroke and I don't want to go the way he did.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************
You would mean 5 grams of testogel/day which = 50 mg testosterone and most only absorb roughly 10% of the 50mg which would equate to 5mg testosterone/day and an average healthy male produces between 5-7mg/day of testosterone. Your hematocrit/hemoglobin were in good ranges on 5g testogel/day.

What? Even if i do it only for 16 weeks? I have 8 weeks left before decreasing my dose.. can this give me heart attack???

The more important question is what is your hemoglobin/hematocrit on 125mg testosterone every 4 days so 250mg/8 days? Having elevated hemoglobin/hematocrit levels can cause the blood to thicken so the heart will have to work harder pumping it throughout your body let alone when it becomes really elevated it can cause lethargy/weakness and make breathing troublesome as less oxygen is getting to cells. As far as heart attack on 250mg every 8 days highly unlikely as it is not an extreme dose but more than is required for trt purposes and cardiovascular damage is multi-factoral as oppose to just having elevated hemoglobin/hematocrit but all in all you are far better of health wise to keep your hemo/hemato in a healthy range especially long term. Post your full blood work from your 125mg/every 4 day protocol as members will have a better idea of your cbc.
