So I have titrated reta up to 15mg. I did a generic bloodwork last week and I was surprised to see that my hematocrit is not over 51. It was 50.3 .

Usually whenever I am on any dose of TRT my hematocrit goes anywhere between 60-70.

Anyone had a similar experience?

I’m interested to find this out I have blood work on the 13th. My hemocrat was .510 right before starting Reta in June.
 
Yes, I have noticed this also. I was on a prescription to donate blood every 4 weeks for high hematocrit and high hemoglobin for TRT. Now that I've been on Reta my Hematocrit and Hemoglobin have been in range/low, even as I doubled my TRT dosage. Another positive side effect of this miracle compound Reta.

I started TRT and Reta around the same time. I have not noticed my hematocrit being controlled by Reta. 😅

Your hematocrit goes up to 70% based on venous blood draws?
 
I wish. I do feel better about my 55 now if I can figure out how to believe there are folks walking around at 70+
