I'm on the tail end of a cruise and (was) about to start a blast, and I admittedly need to drink more water. My GF is always telling me that and I think bloods today confirmed. Almost all of the abnormal readings - from what I can tell - could potentially be chalked up to me simply needing to drink more damn water. If anyone could offer an opinion in support of or contradicting my take, I'd really appreciate it. I'm happy to get any advice at all, as I'm still relatively new to AAS. This will be my 2nd cycle coming up, after having been on TRT since last summer.

That said, I'm not going to start any sort of blast until I feel better about what's going on here with my bloods. I plan on fixing my water intake and taking another test in a month or so.

BTW, the high LDL is actually an improvement. I did 8 weeks of Winny ~ 3 months ago and my numbers were totally jacked.

Thanks in advance.

This is self prescribed TRT right? How long have you been on this "TRT"

Actually I started the TRT with a legit clinic, then went on my own after I discovered how badly I was getting ripped off. I began TRT in July 2015, did my first cycle (500mg/test cyp) in September.

They started me on 200mg/week, and I've continued that after my 500mg/week which lasted 10 weeks.

Your dosage is too high for TRT your test is at least 1500+ and TRT you probably want to be around 750-1000. You definitely need to drink more water but your RBC is also getting high and a lot of other readings are high. I don't know enough about them all to say water is your problem. I think you might consider dropping to a lower dosage, 100-125mg/wk for a while, donating some blood, up your water intake at least gallon + a day and retest in 4-6 weeks

I'm sure one of the doctors or another member will chime in that knows more.

I actually just tried to donate blood and they wouldn't let me because I got a tattoo within the last year...

Thanks for your input.

How long ago did you stop using the TRT clinic? If it hasn't been too long you can ask them for a script for blood letting.

I actually never stopped - I'm due for my next blood test with them really soon. I want to say in 2 or 3 weeks. I just wasn't going to go and I was going to continue on the protocol they started me on. My last total test reading was really high (1700 total) but the doctor said it was OK because everything else was fine. This was about 2.5 months ago.

With the exception of that 500/wk, 10 week cycle everything I have taken has been from my TRT clinic. I was just going to continue on my own since the cost is high. Thus my question here.

The other question is is the theraputic phlebotomy even needed? My RBC is not out of control high and my hematocrit is normal. Looking back at my very first blood test, I had a relatively high normal RBC even before AAS.

I'm donating 2x RBC right now
