No estradiol?
Looks like it is blood donation time!

No, my lab doesn't test for estradiol...VA lab, go figure. (; HCT is actually going down, so is RBC's. My doctor is not concerned with the HCT right now due to it not going up anymore since I lowered my dose to 50mg twice a week. I don't have any bad effects from it either, so I am going to ride it out being as I can't donate, and I have to rely on my doc to prescribe a phlebotomy...

So, my HCT dropped a hair, so hopefully the doc will let me do a phlebotomy. My E2 is higher, but don't know why...ain't nothing changed. I am not worried about it where it is though.
My Testosterone is probably due to the switch to 1ml syringe from 3 ml. The more precise dose, I suppose, means I need a tad higher amount for my taste. I am switching to 56mg two times a week from 50mg two times a week. This shouldn't make a drastic change to anything else I hope.
Oh, he ordered total T only, instead of free T and total T. When quest gets a request for total T instead of free T and total T, they give you the range they gave me here, and don't run it on a mass spec machine. I didn't know he was ordering only total! This kinda pissed me off to be honest...

Looking decent. Just need to get that hematocrit lowered. My personal preference would be higher TT also. But that might start putting you in AI territory.

well, I had higher TT and less E2 not long ago. I am shooting for higher TT, back into the 700-1200 range.
