What would you do? HCT vs. BP

[SS1LE]

I really don't believe your blood pressure readings are right. You need to check your blood pressure daily, not just occasionally. It can fluctuates so much.

This... your blood pressure can vastly change in a matter of minutes, honestly you need a good bp monitor. Welch Allyn 1700 is one of the best home monitors. It uses the same algorithm as the clinical grade ones they make.

Yes, they fluctuate, and when my e2 is lower, they the lowest it gets is still higher.

I have a great one and years of religiously and obsessively checking it, I’m very well aware of its fluctuations, peaks and valleys. You can trust those blood pressures I’ve mentioned.

My doctor wants my last 15 days of blood pressure readings and then she takes the average.

Right, and my resting BP average is between 130-140/80 with the lower dose resulting in lower e2, or 115-130/75 or so with a higher dose and higher e2, but results in a HGB of 18.5 and HCT of 54. Those are months on average also.

Right, but which scenario would you prefer out of the two if none of those suggestions turn out well either?

Neither, I would find another solution such as a shorter half-life injectable, perhaps enanthate if he hasn’t tried it already. Bodybuilders have reported for years that they experienced less bloating and water retention on enanthate versus cypionate.

The difference in the way that I felt between cypionate and enanthate was quite dramatic.

Right, but what I’m asking is…let’s say I have less water and feel better on test prop, but I still get stuck between 2 doses…1 gives higher BP and less thick blood, the other gives thicker blood but lower BP. Which would you do?

This isn’t about how I feel or how I look; it’s about blood viscosity vs. BP.
