For the past few years I've been in the lower end of the normal range for total testosterone and teetering back and forth from below-normal to low-normal of the free testosterone range. Tried everything I could do to increase it naturally through lifestyle and diet changes. Tried (almost) every testosterone booster known to man. Had symptoms of brain fog, fatigue and the worst of all, erectile dysfunction.
November 2015 went on 200mg/ml of compounded cream. Weeks 2 - 4 I felt like i did in my twenties, but that quickly withered away by week 6. At 6 weeks I had levels tested which came back lower than when before I started.
January 2016 bumped up the dosage to 250mg/ml. - No change in how I feel. Feeling pretty close to how I felt pre TRT.
Today I got my results from the 250mg/ml cream.
Total Testosterone = 14.6 nmol/L
Free Testaosterone = 317 pmol/L
RBC = 5.73 (normal = 4.20 - 5.70 x 10E12/L)
HEMATOCRIT = 0.52 (normal = 0.38 - 0.49 1/1)
PLATELETS = 137 (normal = 145 - 400 x 10E9L)
There is some concern of how my red blood cell count has risen slightly over the normal range. As a result of the red blood cells and how I feel, my doctor suggested we try injections and see if it helps my situation.
New protocol will be 25mg Test Cypionate 2 x week.
Any thoughts on why my red blood cells are off?
Any thoughts on my new protocol?
