4 Andro - does it increase HCT (hermatocrit)

It's that time of the year that I have to make the decision to either go off TRT for about 6 weeks, or give blood. My HCT level is hovering around 52%, and after about 6 weeks, it drops to about 45% and takes about a year to go back up.

So I was thinking of running a prohormone during this time, however, I am not sure if they raise HCT levels or not. I would imagine they would, but by how much?

I am currently taking 120mgs of test cyp each week, which I will stop shortly for 6 weeks. I can't sit with a needle in my arm for 20 minutes, i'll go nuts so that's why I don't give blood.

Anyone have a good non methylated prohormone to recommend?
 
It shouldn’t really take 20 minutes with a good phlebotomist. More like five, but you’ll get a bit dizzier than if it took longer.
 
Obviously I think you can see where I stand on the idea. I’d be giving the blood.


If you do take a break, try something to help you along the way like clomid, not a prohormone.

Testosterone raises HCT and you’re coming off that to lower it. Adding a prohormone to test such as 4AD, 5AD(3AD), DHEA, 4DHEA, will only continue to raise it. You wouldn’t be taking a break if you were taking those.
 
If you are on trt and run a steroid like DMZ, and Hematocrit goes up, will it slowly go back down over time on it’s own without giving blood after the compound is discontinued?
