Greetings, first post here, I looked but did not see my particular question answered. I’ve been doing TRT self-injection IM at 100mg/week for about 6 years. CBC blood tests have shown red blood count slowly ticking up. Latest test shows RBC 52%, which is kind of a tipping point. I should do somethi…

Your doctor is incompetent and you shouldn’t listen to him. You can lower red blood count by lowering the dosage or splitting up your injections twice weekly. I lowered all CBC labs by half the ranges going from an 20mg EOD protocol to a 10mg daily protocol, hematocrit dropped from 50% to 45% and RB…

Just do a Double Red Cell donation at your local blood center. It takes a little longer but you can only do them every 16 weeks vs 8 weeks for whole blood (which you could also)

I switched to im and think my hct went up. But it could be cause I increased dose to 100 from 90. Anyway see a difference im v subq?

Thanks, I might try a 10mg/day regimen, and inject every 5 days, to see what happens. I really don’t want to inject every single day, but I would if that was only alternative. Thanks for the tip!

I didn’t want to inject frequently either in the beginning, but I feel so damn good doing it. Everytime I moved injections closer together, I feel even better. I use 29 gauge insulin syringes and not those harpoons the doctor provided, I inject in shoulders and quads.

Yes, I agree, I recall doing a regimen of ~65mg every 5 days and I did feel better. So, I will try every 5 days at 50mg/dose, which will increase my injection frequency, but lower the overall dosage, and hopefully lower the RBC count. I’m currently using 1-inch 25ga needles (insulin needles). But I…

I am told they do not want the blood because of the high hematocrit. I had a blood let at a hospital for that reason, and they allegedly destroyed the blood as it wasn’t fit for donation. Just what I have been told …

I will definitely look into donating blood. But I am age 67, and had Lyme disease about 18 months ago, so I have to think they would not want my blood. If I don’t pass their screening for whatever reasons, will they draw (and destroy) the blood for me, or do they simply refuse to draw any blood?
