question from a user
I quit trt in February cause my hematocrits would get to about 50 and I would donate every 8 weeks and I was tired on donating, my dose was only 100mg of test-c once a week, day before injection my level would be about 600. My base line before trt was 46.8-47 hematocrits, since I quit trt I had a sleep study done and have mild sleep apnea and have been wearing a cpap and have been taking Naringin. Just had a blood test and my rbc is 4.71 hemoglobin is 14.1 and hematocrits is 43.8, test level is back down to 235 and free t is 6, should I give it another try? Oh even when my hematocrits were 50 my blood pressure would be like 115/68, never high ever

Since you have started CPAP and are now on naringen, I think it would be fair to give TRT another try. You may consider trying the creams next time, as they actually don’t carry the same risk of high hematocrit like injections do.
