[QUOTE="stevep, post: 60698, member: 13484"] My lab works indicate I have too many RBCs. I've donated after my previous lab work (per Defy instructions) and the lab work I got back last week indicates I'm back over again. I'm going to donate again next Monday at a Red Cross mobile unit coming to town. So in ~90 days I've gone back over. Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) [B]6.03[/B] - Range 4.20 - 5.70 (M/mm3) F Hemoglobin (Hgb) [B]18.4[/B] - Range 14.0 - 18.0 (gm/dL) F Hematocrit (HCT) [B]54.7[/B] - Range 42.2 - 53.8 (%) They are offering two ways to donate. The first is the standard whole blood donation which can be done every 56 days. The other option if I meet their standards is a Power Red donation where they take double the RBCs. With this option I have to wait 112 days before being able to donate again. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to the Power Red option? Is having to wait 112 days to long? Thanks [/QUOTE]
