Hematocrit of 55 for years.

200 mg is too high imo. You realize that a lot, if not most people are prescribed 80-120 mg. Check your iron levels, I bet they’re high. Iron stores in your organs and brain and leads to issues in the long term. Only these sham TRT clinics seem to freely prescribe TRT upwards of 200 mg. Most endocrinologists and urologists who operate ethically and conscientiously would not go that high.

You can donate blood with the Red Cross in the meantime. Just don’t tell them you use steroids or needles. You answer anything wrong and you’ll never be able to donate there again. Aspirin could help with preventing clots, but it’s not a long term solution for you, I don’t think. Don’t be afraid to lower your dose, you won’t feel any worse and you’ll probably feel better and still look the same.

I know there are guys on here who do upwards of 200 mg for Trt and say the stay within range on their blood panels, but everyone is different. My cousin can eat double what I eat but looks like an Auschwitz camp survivor. Gotta do what works for you.

My prescribed TRT dose is 200 a week, puts me well within range numerically. My hematocrit never goes north of 44. My iron levels are borderline anemic. I say it at nausea but we are all sooo different. Can’t broad brush it.

Daily baby aspirin, hydration, cardio, donating and limiting caffeine are all good things regardless of your labs. You have to be your best advocate for your health and stay on top of your care, especially in this game. Just because you “look” healthy and fit doesn’t mean your insides are. Too many young bodybuilders in the ground that can attest to that.

No need to freak out or raise your stress levels worrying about giving yourself a stroke, your labs are far from terrifying. Quite smart to stay on top of it though. Godspeed

Thanks man. Definately going to stay more on top of donating regularly as well as cardio. Would you suggest lowering my dosage more?. Was going to bump it up to 250 to get back to where I was before I got covid but now second guessing it and thinking if I should just drop down even more.

Who’s to say? Go with how you feel and balance it with your lab reports. If you’re cruising around 2000 with 300 free test, you could probably dial it down. If you’re around 1100 (on 200) with a free test of 150 and feel great (me) I’d say you’re fine…

200 to me could produce far different results than others. Some dudes can get gyno at 200 and need a steady dose of an AI, again so tough to know…

Try 125mg - 150mg/week until you get your hematocrit under control. You probably won't notice much of a difference in regards to how you feel.

Again your platelets are under midrange, which is a plus.
It will take a little while to get things back in range.

You are right… and lucky. You’re probably the exception to the rule. Ron Harris from MD sad he’s been doing 400 mg/week for years with no issues and he’s in his 50s. Most couldn’t cruise on 200, I think. I know I couldn’t. OP probably could lower his dose for a few months and donate to get back on track.

Thanks again man will drop down to 150 for a few months and donate and go from there. Should I continue my ai use. 180 to 200 mg of test I used 6.25 of aromasin 3 times per week and keeps my e2 at 29.
