This is my 1st post to this forum and i'm excited bc their seem to be some pretty knowledgeable ppl on here when it comes to this problem and topic. A little background: 27yrs old been on Trt with Test cyp since April 2011. I am currently running 200mg/wk of Test Cyp, shot every Sun. I am 5ft 8" 245lbs and 13.5%bf. I just got my recent labs back 1wk ago and I was concerned about the RBC HGB levels and my TT to be honest. My RBC is 6.14 Ref (4.3-5.9)
My HGB is 16.5 Ref (13.9-16.4) and my Total Test on 200mg/wk is 554 Ref (250-1,100). The labs were done on the morning of my injection day before I pined. My Hematocrit is normal @47.5 Ref (39-55). I also use Aromasin at 12.5mg/day and on shot day and day after shot I use 25mg. My E2 is @ 15.1 Ref (5.37-65.9). Also my HDL is 27. Red Cross would not let me donate blood bc of pimples near my veins in my arm, I tried giving twice. I can't take aspirin bc I am on Depakote for Bi-Polar, the aspirin makes Depakote more toxic. My bp usually runs 120's/70-80's and my RHR is 60's. I would like to have my TT higher but I'm already on 200mg/wk of Test Cyp and Doc won't go any higher and I wouldn't want to increase my RBC,HGB any more anyway. Why is my TT not sky high on that dose ? Is it bc of my size ? My doc won't do Therapeutic Phlebatomy either, he did refer me to a hematologist tho, which I haven't seen yet. I just don't want to throw a clot or something from this but am I being paranoid with the #'s where they are ? I won't lower my Test dose bc I'm barely mid-range as it is. My dad does have a Hyper Coagulated State and Peripheral Vascular Disease with Diabetes and has had both legs amputated below the knee and he is 51yrs old. I had an echo last summer which was perfectly normal as well as my chest x-ray and ekg's. I also had ck/mb done and cardiac enzymes done in labs and they were also fine. My Iron and Ferritin are normal as well as b-12,dhea,Igf-1 and Dht. Prolactin is also normal. My daily supps are 3,600mg Fish OIl, Vit C 3,000mg, 2 Multi Vitamins, Vit D3 @ 5,000iu. Flax Oil 3x's a week in a shot with Cranberry juice and Sativia. Any advice would be great guys. Sorry for the long post but I didn't want to leave anything out so u guys could help me as best u can. Thanks in advance.

. Anyhow, to answer a few of the questions. I did use Hcg for just a few weeks at 250iu 2days before and the day before my shot. It drove my E2 way up so that was stopped. I am on Trt bc I had 3 consecutive Testosterone test come back in the 100's from improper pct procedure on past AAS. I still feel tired and run down, although not as bad as before or at the lower dose. My dads condition, as I was told by his doctor usually skips a generation. My dad also had a history of alcoholism, marijuana use and cocaine abuse and years of Uncontrolled diabetes. I don't smoke or drink or do any drugs. I am 27. My libido is fine. Erections in the middle of the night and in morning and can get hard for sex without even being touched by my wife. I just got diagnosed with Bi-polar last year and no I don't believe Testosterone effects my mood. I will split the shots and see if that makes any diff in how I feel or how my bloodwork will react. 100mg/mon with 25mg Aromasin and 100mg/thurs with 25mg Aromasin. My doc told me today that before sending me to the Hematologist she wants to redo my labs without fasting while I'm well hydrated to see if that makes any diff in the reading. I have a couple bottles of Prop 100 laying around I was going to blast with @ 50mg EoD for 6 wks on top of my Trt dose, until I got my labs back. I'm just not wanting to chance it but I will run it if my BW comes back ok or I can go get the Therapeutic Phlebatomy done. I haven't blasted yet while on Trt so can anyone offer advice on that ? Anything else I can do to try to bring the blood counts down while I wait ? Thanks So far y'all.
