I am on trt and my hematocrit tested high at 54.5 so I went to the Red Cross and did a power red donation. How much would this type of donation typically reduce hematocrit and is the effect immediate?

Double reds usually requires a person has an uncommon blood type. I’m at the Red Cross now. Just tested at 59.1

Time to come off.

There has to be more to it then that. What is your go to cycle?
nandrolone gives me the highest hct out of all the aas ..I usually do 2 oil and a oral.My doses are newb.500 750 test 400 500 tren or 400 600 deca.30 50 dbol or 50 drol

I was always scared to go any higher then that..Im sure u double those doses then its gonna be really hard to keep sides like hct down

I've talked to an ER doc about this. The difference between a 45 and 54 crit is not a huge difference as far as and immediate danger thing. Start getting up over 55 and you can see problems. Hydration can add a few points if you're dehydrated at BW time.

That said, donate and keep it under 52 at all times.

Donated today and the the phlebotomists said regular blood donation vs double red was better for Testosterone patients, IDK but I gave blood. I was at 54.

Guess it’s better to donate every 4 weeks, anyone every hear this?

I believe ip6 def helps with lowering hemo.
before using it and on 600 test 600 deca i was at 54 hemo and donated double. today ive been on trt dose of like 150mg every 10 days for like 8 weeks now and been taking ip6 for over 3 months and i was at 51 hemo today. last year on trt dose i think hemo was at 52-53.

would it be wise to just no even donate anymore if ip6 is helping?
