Thank you for the reply. I will do 60mg per week with two HCG injections at the end of the cycle. I already started this week and we will see how it goes. Another alternative my doctor offered was 40mg twice a week (one shot every 3.5 days). I will try the single shot first and see how I feel. Also I will discontinue my arimidex pills since at his low dose I doubt there will be an estrogen conversion issue. Anyway if this still does not work I will switch to transdermal creams which I know for sure worked for me for 10 years. I am in for the long run and not looking to become a body builder. I understand why some guys do these crazy high doses. If I wanted to build muscle like that I would too. 
How’s your protocol? Were you able to control your hematocrit?
Gels are just as bad. I used Androgel for 12 yrs or so. I had to give blood every 2 or 3 months. Hct was 52-53 with a t level of only 350-600.
Trying pinning now.
I have switched to micro-dosing. I am now doing 11-12 mg a day (between 0.05 and 0.06 ml) using a 27 gauge sub-q injection. I am also micro-dosing 0.08 ml of HCG daily and stopped arimidex. My last blood work I was at 48.5 Hematocrit 16.5 Hemoglobin and 780 ngdl of T. But this was after I dropped my Hematocrit low with 2 blood donations. I have another blood test coming up in 4 months to see if the Hamatocrit stays below 50. I feel great for now. We will see what happens in 4 months.

I never had that problem with gels and I used it for 10 years. I guess we are all different…
Yep, we are all different. Im currently at 220mg/wk. Daily injections. But I always make sure to drink a glass of water when I wake up, and hydrate continuously throughout the day. Its prolly not making a difference but I tested last two times at 48-49% HCT with 1500TT. So yes, were all very different

It’s weird. I just gave blood today and my HGB was 16.4. (Before giving). It was always above 18 on gel. I’m pinning 200g cyp OAW. This is the best I’ve felt in 20 years.
How long have you been on 200g? Is OAW Every week or Every Other Week? If you are on 200mg per week I can guarantee you that you will eventually have increased hemoglobin.
I am microdosing right now in what amounts to 80 mg a week and I am at 780-850 testosterone ngdl and feeling great. My blood pressure is much better than before when I was doing 200mg a week and I feel more energetic and just as strong as before. For my body 80mg a week (11mg daily is perfect). The natural production of testosterone of a healthy male is 6-10 mg a day.
5 months at 200. Once a week.
It was 16.7 when I gave blood about 2 months ago.
The Medic bus just happened to be at the grocery store today and I went ahead and gave.
My T level at trough last month was 660.
It is. Some guys do not see an increase in RBCs, hgb or hct. I wish they would. I saw a guy today whose hct was 2% lower than it was on his initial labs, which was consistent with previous labs. Some of the elevated hct levels are from dehydration and some due to endurance training.
Nice that you are doing better. Congrats.
It took over a year for my RBC to climb. HCT is not an issue even at 54%. But RBC over 6.0 gives me morning palpitations, apnea, sluggishness, and a bit of tingling in my fingertips. Other than that, hydrate well before and after testing and keep an eye on all other factors other than just HCT.
Mine was elevated above normal about a year after. Just keep an eye on it. I mean do not worry about it. You may have to donate some blood eventually. I personally do not like that but other people do not mind. I like the Microdosing better cause it keeps me at a constant natural level every day.
