[QUOTE="madman, post: 126342, member: 13851"] If anything you have room to lower your testosterone dose slightly and bring down your FT a bit. Regarding hematocrit many would consider 54-55 a cut-off point and most would start donating with levels in the low 50s. Of course lowering ones testosterone dose/donating blood would aid in bringing down hemo/hemato/rbc's but regarding donating there is a fine line as when one donates too frequently most will run into the issue of crashing their ferritin/iron which can have a negative effect on thyroid function among other things! Even though there are people in both camps regarding what is considered high/dangerous when it comes to elevated hematocrit do understand that even if one is not experiencing any negative side effects from elevated hematocrit that thicker blood is thicker blood regardless of any symptoms and overall having thicker blood is harder on ones cardiovascular system as the heart has to work harder due to the viscosity/other contributing factors of the blood. There is a fine line when it comes to donating in order to reduce hemo/hemato and keeping ones ferritin/iron levels in a healthy range. [/QUOTE]
