42 M blood-work / managing HI red blood cells

[Mrhairyman]

Has anyone manage to bring down their red blood cells without donating ?
I would rather not lower my doses, but will do so if it is for my long-term health

- 50 Primo eod

- 70 Test C eod

- 45 Deca eod

- 2 IU hgh ed

- 10 Anadrol 2-3x / week

- 250 HCG 2X / week

(previous test from LabCorp was in 23, I generally use Quest every 3 months)

Taking anything for it currently?

53.5 isn't too bad tbh. You can consider taking IP-6 and see if it helps. 2G split twice a day on empty stomach. Watch iron intake, red meats, and do yer cardio. Hopefully you were hydrated for the test as well as that may skew numbers.

1/2 cup fresh squeezed grapefruit juice every day.

Go donate some blood while you're on cycle

Good man. Yes.

Yes. Lower your doses. Titration only feasible strategy without donation long term.

And Brother, the Hct is borderline. The trig/hdl-c ratio is atrocious. Get on that. Real bad.

 

[BigDadd7]

We're talking about a cycle, or trt?

Full time cycle as TRT?

 

[BigDadd7]

Full time cycle as TRT?

Possibly!

I would treat these results on cycle differently than on TRT.

This is my cruise for the foreseeable future, no need to go up atm
Feeling really good !

No cystic acne, no bloat, no high E2 sides, which flare up easily on cycle.
First time my red blood cells (Hematocrit) has been elevated.

I will definitely donate blood if needed to, in the mean time I want to reach out to the board for some feedback regarding options.

Then you need to adjust your dosages to get those bloods under control

Amen. And lipids. Really bad.

We were both right. Cruise haha.

Thanks for looking out, I do appreciate your feedback and concern.
Hdl does need to go up. My triglycerides always raise when I eat red meat, and fall just as fast when I don't.

1/2 cup fresh squeezed grapefruit juice every day.

I take a Naringin supplement daily as well

Seems to be helping keep my Hct upper limit normal
