150 mg Test / wk (pin eod) seems to keep me around 50-51, regardless of supplements, grapefruit, low dose telmisartan, or extra hydration. I've tested 1 week after donating double reds...still right around 50 - 51, which triggers warning in Quest bloodwork. I have read that many docs consider 54 to be max limit...but maybe that's just copium...lol.
Other option seems to be switch to transdermal, but I'm not crazy about that idea...seems like a lot if guesswork rather than precise dose. Id like to occasionally run higher test, but id like to get hematocrit figured out first. Any recs?
