Does test cream increase H&H greater than Subq or IM injections. If so, is it primarily due to fluctuating testosterone levels? If IM and SubQ will give more stable levels, can 2x daily dosing of test cream help prevent these spikes that drive up H&H?
Thanks
No. Gel/cream causes erythrocytosis in ~13% of users. Compare that to ~66% of men who use test e/c.
Thanks, very helpful!
Can Anybody confirm that by own experience?
First of all drink plenty of water. This lowers HCT, also higher HCT is not the big concern people make it out to be. Thicker blood makes larger pathways. Wanna be vascular? HCT is one of the reasons why veins and arteries will widen, improving blood flow. But just hydrate better and dont worry about it.
My hct went up to 53 on subq e3.5d and I was drinking plenty of water. Even before drawing bloods I had more than 1 liter.
I was short of breath, taking some stairs and I sounded like an old steam locomotive, related it to the high hct.
HCT is dynamic. Its not always stuck at one number. Being out of breath and struggling climbing stairs means youre out of shape, and your body is not fully adapted to TRT. Get to work and exercise. Drink water, do anaerobic exercises and switch to aerobic to train your CVS into being an efficient blood pumping machine. How would you survive in a high altitude? You adjust. I often pop at 53hct and I climb stairs all day, run, walk, and still push hard in the gym. Again, this has more to do with what kind of shape you’re in, and how often you train.
Ever heard of being too smart for your own good? You read too much, and dont practice much. You’re a hypochondriac with too many worries. but you do you.
Have a great day!
Im gonna let you figure that one out for yourself since you sound like a smart motherfucker online. Our bodies are not static robots that have gauges. Ive tested at HCT53 one day and HCT48 the other, in back to back blood tests. Thats real world experimenting, not just studies, and second hand opinions. I used to worry about HCT because I would get itchy if I got too warm, but that subsided without intervention. HCT is dependent of many things, including environment. The world needs guys like you to point things out and make us all think, but just because you say that studies say that going over 60mph will rip your face off, it doesnt mean it will happen.
Fair enough.
Bro…You’re days late with this. Let it go. Dont ruminate over this kind of stuff.
Ahh thanks for the help buddy.
