Blood results + elevated crit + deca
Hello! I'm 29 years old and have been on trt for two years now (80mg/wk test c).
Just got back from annual Urology apt, and the numbers are in:

My doctor is concerned about the high hematocrit, and said if it doesn't come down in three months (mid May) then they'll have to lower my dose even more. My plan was to bump my test to 100mg/wk and add 200mg/wk of Deca just for maintenance. Now I'm worried my blood will get too thick. If I add this Deca, but continue to donate a pint per month, do you guys think my hematocrit and hemoglobin will be within range come mid May? I will plan on getting my own blood pulled to monitor, but just wanted to know if you guys think it's a good idea to add the Deca right now. I can also attempt an at-home blood pull if donation isn't quite enough.
I realize that blood work is the only way to tell, but I'm wondering if you guys have seen huge swings in crit and hgb with low to mid dose Deca. Tren E sent my crit to 58 which scared the hell out of me, so I don't want that happening with Deca.
Thank you
