Wow, lots of great feedback..thank you. I think what its coming down to is to choose a reasonable range of some test/eq combo (and I'll probably go with mast, actually), and just see how my body reacts and adjust accordingly. It seems like its been slightly different with each of you, so I will just need to know how it works on this 53 year old body.
I also figure, based on what you have all said, that I should be looking at something more like a 20-week cycle, so that's what I'll do.
Several of you warned about high red blood cell counts...can you give me an idea as to what danger this poses? Is this a clotting issue and a heart effort issue because of the thickness? I get a complete CBC blood test done every three months, so my doc will certainly see anything out of the ordinary (and be pissed at me...but he knows everything I do and knows i'm going to do what I damned well please anyway...lol)
