Blood Thickening Heart Attack Risk on TRT

[kelkel]

Any tell tale signs that it's starting to happen?

Yes, you wake up in the hospital! But seriously, this is an important thing to track while on TRT. Many times it's caused simply by guys running too high a TRT dose and dosing down can greatly help. Speaking of dosing, what idiot doctor put you on 200 every two weeks? The half life of test is about 5-7 days metabolism dependent. This means weekly injections at a minimum. Your doc is dosing you based on the terminal life of the drug which is horrible and a virtual roller coaster of test levels. Meaning a few days after injection you're just on a slow slide down and not maintaining any form of steady level.

At a minimum you should switch this to 100mg's per week and retest in a month to see where you're at. I'd bet you'd feel much better this way. Regarding your blood question, read this link. Forget that it's related to cycles as that just makes it occur faster:

Thank you for that link. I plan to read it in-depth when a get a chance today.

And I thought the same about the dosing as you! A more frequent dosing makes more sense to me for stable levels seeing as what I know about Test. Cyp.

Is once a month testing of hematocrit adequate or what would you suggest? Also, another member mentioned aspirin daily, I know of the blood thinning effects of aspirin but would daily dosing be beneficial at all?
