Have you had your erthropoiten checked? What is ur reticuloycte count? From what you're describing it sounds like you may have thrown off your endogenous thyroid hormone production which is impacting your RBC production. This is not my field of speciality though. An endocrinologist should be able to assess and any decent Pcp (primary care physician).Hello Gentlemen!
I come to you as I have stumbled upon something which I cannot understand.
A brief background of my situation.
I have been on Nebido for about 8 months in which I may or may not have taken a short blast of some illegal AAS which shot my RBC count to the 55% hct range. Let's say call last day of my presumed blast is day 1 of Month 1. Nebido dose/frequency is 1g/12 weeks, I continue Nebido only. I discontinue the nebido around Month 16 and get no TRT whatsoever. Now I am sitting almost 24 months since last presumed blast and I still have high HCT in the 53% range.
I speak to my Endo and he says it is because of the Nebido. Endo not knowing about my blast however the blast should not be relevant anymore.
I do not understand why my HCT is still high considering I haven't gotten a single Nebido shot in about 8 month and while on the Nebido my T levels should be normal and yielding a regular HCT count.
RBC live for about 120 days and any RBCs that were generated from my Nebido or my blast 2 years ago should be long gone.
Does anybody have any thoughts or input into this? Is there some mechanism that I do not know about? That testosterone or other AAS can somehow upregulate RBC production for a longer period of time or something to that effect? My endo is clueless as is the hematologist.
Thank you
