Thread: HIGH hemoglobin and blood donations???

My red blood count was high even after I stopped trt, so I have some other things going on but my blood doctor thinks that its the lack of oxygen in my system from sleep apnea that's caused most of it. He also discontinued my use of fenofibrate which is a cholesterol drug. It can also raise red blood counts.

I feel great anytime I give, so its no issue for me any longer.

WOW 450mls per week, that's crazy brother. I've never donated before and NEVER felt so awful in my life, but I'm getting older lol. This past blast I used primo and proviron at the end and I think one of those two compounds(OR BOTH)jacked my hemo right the fuck up. I haven't used primo in a long time and it was my first time running proviron and the proviron gave me a good outbreak of acne that's still clearing up. Once I get back to normal all I want to be able to run in test and var and maybe mast too, but If not oh well right

I was having high hemocrit levels with just TRT and I donated like 3 times and now even on cycle my Hemocrit or stays normal ,but my hematologist helps me with my AAS use so he is very cool 😎 with it and helps me watch it close he told me after abkut 2 - 3 donations of blood 🩸 your system adjust and normally that takes care of it for a long time

Interesting. See i feel better, but also feel like I should get another 450mls out of me to feel great again? I'm going to donate every 56 days for now on and hopefully that will be good enough. Currently I'm letting the test-cyp clear my system then going to do another hemoglobin test and see where I'm at. Hopefully I'll be healthy enough to start test again.

Yah I'm going to be getting blood work every 3 months now like clock work to check everything! So far I'm avoiding iron as I can feel my hemo is still high, like I can still feel my heart is working harder to pump blood thus baby aspirin daily for now. I'm actually trying to find a hemoglobin meter/test kit so I can check myself out and know EXACTLY when I should be donating/draining blood. No luck finding a meter here in Canada yet

Try Naringin. Helped me in this area.

I have a rare blood disorder. My lowest hemoglobin level was below 5. That was hell. Canada and the US may have different values they use. But it sounds like yours is 18. I’d have to google that. I get an IV medicine every 2 weeks and mine stays around 14-15 now. I’d imagine pumping thick blood like that would without a doubt stress your system out.

I got my HGB down to 166/16.6, but my RBC/HCT were still quite high so I donated again the other day and I feel WAY WAY better now and I'm hoping that donating every 56 days will keep me feeling great.
