Blast/Cruise & Hematocrit

[OdinsOtherSon]

Considering a blast/cruise. Currently on trt, 100mg week and would really like to blast but after reading through the forum I'm slightly concerned about elevated hematocrit. It seems, just from my interpretation of the reading I've done, that guys on trt who blast and cruise are far more susceptible to this condition of elevated hematocrit than those who simply run a cycle then pct. Am I incorrect in this assumption? Also, is it a given fact that hematocrit will increase if a person on trt blasts and cruises? I know I can donate to help control but I've also heard the horror stories from guys who have difficulty controlling their levels even when donating double rbc's. Just had bloods ran last week, my rbc was slightly elevated but hematocrit was within range. Don't recall the exact numbers but can get them later in the day if needed. Just looking to throughly vet this before proceeding. Thanks for reading and any assistance in advance.

You just have to run a cbc with your labs and see. Some do and I know guys that cruise and blast with no elevated crit

As always, thank you for the guidance brother.

any dose TRT or Cycle will elevate hematocrit, of course faster with higher doses. but even with just TRT dose we still donate anyway as hematocrit creeps up slowly. simply donate blood and you'll be fine. BTW, it takes few months for hema to get to the point where you need to donate, so its not overnight thing.

I agree with Bass with one exception, any dose TRT does NOT necessarily mean a hema increase. Mine fortunately has NEVER moved after 5 yrs TRT and several "blasts".
However, I have heard that some like myself all of a sudden one day, realize a big increase.

^^^ i shoudl have made it clearer, yes you are correct but not in all cases, me for example it creeps up even if i am on 100mg ew, it takes allot longer but eventually it gets high enough where i need to donate.

Thanks guys for stopping in and commenting. I've been concerned about how quickly this "condition" can set in and it sounds as if I should have plenty of time to see it coming with regular BW.

Yep just run blood work and manage it

You'll be fine Odin. Don't over-think the negatives.
