Was curious if anyone has this condition. Dr took me off my TRT, said it might be one of a few different reasons. To much iron. Took me off red meat, oysters and such. my treatment is only .50ml cyp 200. is this pretty common? I do therapeutic phlebotomies every 4 months. like a half litre I think. But yea. would like to hear other experience.

Giving blood creates a rebound. Chasing your tail. Look into natto + gse.
On top of my twice per week pins. I run 40mg per day Tgel. This helper really keeps the swings in check. Thank God for my script. Haven't gone over 48 in quite a while. That and upping my water intake was a huge help.
I'm guessing secondary, as primary is a real problem. Hope you get your numbers in check. Pumping ketchup isn't good for the ticker. Blood pressure hard to manage
Yeah, back in 2022 I tried bi weekly TRT (no increase in total mg's per week), seemed to drive my hematocrits, hemoglobin and RBC into a concerning level for my PCP and Endo. Took a couple weeks off of TRT and the blood tests returned to normal (high normal) but still normal.
