    Be careful going too high...test makes your blood really thick, and can stress your heart.

    Funny you say that.

    My doc tells me i'm making too much blood and has me donating every three months.

    I don't think it's related to the injections but I figured I'd mention it.

    You, obviously, don't have a working man's job....else you'd be bleeding out naturally on a regular basis.

    When you guys have gone in for regular check ups are you looking at blood pressure readings over time? Ever since I started TRT I have had a higher than normal readings and today when I went in it was high.

    ETA: I forgot to mention that I was drinking 6 to 8 cans of diet coke everyday which I stopped two weeks ago. Since that time I have stopped all caffeine and just drink water.

    Went in today and all things were normal but I am not happy with results with the jel. Going back it tomorrow morning to retest and get set up for stabbing.

    You have to stay hydrated. The test thickens your blood....that'll bump blood pressure.

    I've stayed the Hell away from women for about two years and did that because I was tired of putting up with their crap. How can I tell if it's Low T that's doing that or I'm just sick to death of Females? Either way, I don't want back in on that nonsense and I've had more than my share anyway. What other benefits could I receive from looking into this?

    Well I was drinking 6 to 8 cokes a day to which i have stopped. Now all I drink is water and I men drink the hell out of water now. Seems my bP is still up and I still think it is the TRT. Although I had a little elevated BP before starting TRT it wasn't like this. When I asked my doc he didn't seem to think the TRT was doing it. In the last six months I have quit all bad foods (chips), cholesterol is at 122 and I have lost 13 pounds so far. Seems strange that I still have occasions of high BP?

    Got it figured out and it had nothing to do with the TRT.
