I have the same issue as well. Donated blood about a month ago and flushing is still there.HCT was 51 at time of donation. Just had new labs this week and will be interested to see if this is estrogen related or not. I’m currently on 180mg of test per week split up into two doses and 5,000 iu of HCG twice per week.last HCT was 53% and donated last on 9/23/19 whole blood.
-Flushing did not change AT ALL since donation.
-cant recall if flushing was prior to TRT therapy as well [ hard to find photos]
not even sure its hormone or blood related at this point.
any ideas?
That's a fuckload of HCG. Might have something to do with it.I have the same issue as well. Donated blood about a month ago and flushing is still there.HCT was 51 at time of donation.

That's a little more reasonable lolMy bad,misprint. It’s 500 iu of HCG 2 x per week, not 5,000.

Are you only taking testosterone or are you taking any other hormones? Arimidex (anastrozole), hCG, Clomid?
Are you taking any peptides? SARMS? Supplements?
