High hematocrit
Hey everyone, Just got my bloods back and my hematocrit is sitting high. I'm a bit blindsided because I'm only on a low dose: Testavan 2% gel, 2 pumps a day. I’m nowhere near the massive doses I see some guys taking, and I’m already smashing 3 liters of water a day, so I know it’s not a hydration issue. I’m obviously going to call my clinic to get their take but they will ask me to stop trt, but I wanted to check in here first to see if anyone else has dealt with this. • Has anyone else had their hematocrit spike on just a basic low-dose gel protocol? • If you switched from gel to injections (and did more frequent pinning), did that actually help drop your numbers or stabilize things? Appreciate any shared experiences or insight!
