So last bloods showed Hemo at 17.7 and Hem at 54% Doc called and said time to donate, which I did the same day. I did feel better after donating, face and ears no longer as red, felt more with it mentally. Long story short even though I quit smoking ( and began vaping) hemo creeped up a full point within a month. Next day I spoke to doc and told them I’m coming off Test until I can get hemoglobin under 15. They tried to convince me to try out 80mg a week, but told them I don’t like riding this thin line so close to the edge of needing to donate this quickly. Going to try the enclophimene route now and see how I feel. Many get same or higher levels off that than test, we will see how I do. Would have never of thought I would be donating so quickly and certainly not looking forward to my levels dwindle before balls get going from the enclo … luckily I did hcg quite a bit so balls dont feel like they lost any size… Hopefully no anxiety…
Never had a screening… Before starting TRT I was a heavy smoker… a pack plus a day… hemo was 15 and change when starting TRT … My only guess is that vaping is as bad on Hemo as smoking since your causing lung damage.
was doing 120 a week to start and went up to 150… which I only did for 2 weeks before going back to 120… I ran hcg most of May and june but stopped because doc wasnt sure why I felt off.
Not sure doc never really asked for dates of last injection anytime I got bloodwork done. SHBG has been around 26 … total I saw at 1250 + last lab and that was 4 days after last injection of 60mg, prior injection 3-4 days prior to the 60 was 75mg. Free Test was 30.
Donating was also a big hassle, I called places to do a theraputic blood withdraw and every place I asked declined even urgent care, luckily they had a blood drive close by the day I was told to do it. would not be comfortable waiting a few weeks for another local drive if I had to donate again.

Also had a bad acne breakout on chest, upper arms/shoulder that is finally clearing up as today is 1 week since last injection, where do you think my levels are right now? Under or above 800? I was injecting subq… I wonder how long until im under 500 total.
I have the same hemoglobin values and my hematocrit is 51%.
Have you had a sleep study done?
Were you hydrated?
Probably a little dehydrated… 17.7 hemo equates to 53.1 hema… So i was definitely a bit dehydrated… my bun was also 25 …
to 800 or 500?
Test cyp is like 7-8 days half life … no?
5-7 days.
i felt great on 19.5/56. not a great place to be, but never heard of anybody feeling ‘better’. not dismissing how you feel but maybe its not related?
I def do… 9 days since last injection and 4 since donation, ears, face noticibily less red, feel decent still… Nutts didnt lose much size, going to start enclophimene tomorrow at 25mg tomorrow and 25 friday, saturday will be 12.5mg eod.
