6 month bloodwork
No, I wouldn't recommended a blood donation for a HCT at 50%. If it bothers you go to a lab company with a 52% cutoff. My providers lab company has a 49% cutoff for HCT.

6 month bloodwork

Advice About Hematocrit and TRT Dose
I can see your problem. You lack basic understanding of hematocrit and how it one of the benefits of TRT. Even slightly over the range is considered healthy, but somehow you convinced yourself it's unsafe. I have labs showing my hematocrit change 4% (55->51%) in a few hours, because I had...- Systemlord
