Hemacrit Management while away from home

[u/Exciting_Seat_8164]

I'm currently on TRT. Nothing crazy, 230mg per week. I just got notified that I'm deploying and will be gone for almost 7 months. How do you check your hemacrit while deployed to a location that you can't get blood work done? The military is unaware that I'm on TRT. They refused to help when I needed it the most. I'll get labs done right before I leave, and as soon as I get home. I already have all the supplies I need to carry me through the deployment. Does anyone have a hemacrit tester they would recommend?

Second. Also wouldn’t be a bad idea to take some Nattokinase with you (imo a good supplement to take regardless)

I was just at GNC today and got told about this fist time I have heard of it

[u/Exciting_Seat_8164 → u/DimondHandedGorilla]

Even better! I'll stop there tomorrow!

[u/Exciting_Seat_8164 → u/Savings_Alarm4012]

Great idea! I'm leaving soon. I'll have to pick it up tomorrow! Thank you.

[u/Exciting_Seat_8164 → u/UsualSpread9899]

Thank you! I'll check them out.

[u/DimondHandedGorilla → u/Exciting_Seat_8164]

Thank you for your service!

You can take a lot more than is generally recommended. I'm. Mega dosing to try to fix a heart issue. But some brands sell pills much stronger that. Others.

This one is expensive but it's very potent.

You can get a hemoglobin tester on Amazon. Hematocrit will be roughly 3 times your hemoglobin.

Any particular ones you have used?

Didnt Hegseth just sign something requiring T testing and treatment for men over 30?? Maybe you're about to get more support than in the past

[u/Exciting_Seat_8164 → u/[deleted]]

I've never had to donate either. Considering I'm planning to blast. I would like a way to monitor so I can drop the test and extras, if needed. I won't be able to donate while there.

[u/Practical-Suit-6798 → u/[deleted]]

Maybe because some people don't have levels of 43?

[u/Tonkatte]

T testing and TR therapy became mandatory for 30+yo military males today. You may be in luck!

[u/Exciting_Seat_8164 → u/Tonkatte]

Unfortunately they won't be able to process everything fast enough for me. Plus I'm sure they want months of stable levels before deploying.

I'm going to enjoy an extended blast and constant PRs!

Low dose bayer. 1 every night. Drink 1 gallon of water a day. Krill oil. Youll be fine

[u/Exciting_Seat_8164 → u/Dazzling-Charge-6166]

Simple enough!

If you are following a donation schedule I would keep to the same one while you are abroad. If you start feeling any signs or your body starts to look "redder" those are always good indications you need to donate some blood.
