[QUOTE="T4 Life, post: 16495, member: 1798"] According to your blood work you are within the lab ranges I would like to understand why your doctor told you to take a break for eights weeks? your either on or off trt. I compared mine to yours and mine is higher: Hematocrit-52.1 Range(38.5-50.0) Hemoglobin-17.0 Range(13.2-17.1) I donated in July'14 I was at 53.5 at that time (Hematocrit) not because my doctor told me to but for my own peace of mind he knew what is was and didn't make any recommendations. I would stay on at your levels and donate if you feel the need however I would be careful with aspirin I wouldn't take more than 81 mg/day when I did and I stopped that too I noticed I was bruising easily that's me anyway I'm no Doctor just saying aspirin has it's side effects..............your doctor may want you to lower your total T behind closed doors and not telling you I say this because my doctor thinks that a total T of 646 is perfect regardless of free T and symptoms, you may want to slightly lower your dose and see how he responds to that. Ask him the big WHY? (with an explanation) since your within ranges and not over the limits. You should be fine till your next donation try the double red if you haven't already and see how it affects your levels it would be good to know for future reference. [/QUOTE]
