@Thruxton1 how long have you been on this dosage?
Hey Neuro,
Been on TRT for over two years. Started at 200mg every 6 days, then lowered to 200mg every 7 days, and then over the past 8 months of so, I’ve consistently been on 100mg every 4 days.
I tried pulling my prior bloodwork but I’m having trouble finding any bloods in the system except for my first bloods pre-TRT which are normal besides low T.
Hydration can’t be the problem, I drink over a gallon of water a day. I’ve been consistently doing 20 minute of cardio every day and I do a body building split 4 days on 1 day off. Diet is pretty locked in, and honestly, I feel fantastic.
Dr. didn’t say anything to me about the elevated blood counts, so I initially didn’t even pay attention to it but after some more research, i wanted to look into it.

Hey Bigmurph. I was literally thinking about that as I typed my response about hydration. I’ve been known to actually overdrink water, likely flushing my electrolytes. If that’s the case, my electrolytes would not be optimal but would that result in my blood being thick?

I don’t believe so as long as you’re drinking water it would actually thin the blood. I just reccomended the electrolyte boost because it sounded like you drank alot of water.
I did this I tried so hard to stay hydrated between work and everything I’d be done even though I drank a ton of water then someone its horrible that I can’t remember who because it was some of the best advice I ever received. Drink coconut water I was like wtf?? I went and got vita coco which is the best I could find and I never had a problem again with hydration one 32oz container of vita coco and I was great. It is expensive though and im not rich so I use mio because I can control the amount I use and make it last it helps also but vitacoco or coconut water is amazing for hydration.
