question from a user

Mid 50s with no health issues, excellent lipids/BP/hba1c, etc. most labs within range except for RBC which came in at 6 mill/uL and estradiol at 45 pg/ml after initial 6 weeks of 100mg of Test C/week.

If you want to confirm your total T in about 6 more weeks from now for your own knowledge, even if you're feeling good, that would be just fine.

For your RBC & Estradiol, if you have previous values to compare those two & know if more T is changing them, that would be good to take time to go back and look at.

Just keep an eye out on headaches and raising RBC over time, some men (myself included) produce a bit extra on T & go to donate blood every so often to even it out. If you start to feel any high E Sx, chat with your TRT provider and let them know so they can work with you to determine if you need an AI or not.

If nothing feels bad but you want to check in with yourself, 6 weeks from now or 6 months from now seems normal. If you're not having any changes or side effects after that it would be okay to tone down the frequency from there.
