[QUOTE="ManOnMission, post: 140924, member: 13560"] So.. Ive been on TRT for 8 years. Over the past 2 years, my Dr and I tried to follow an article from a particular Dr which said I had erythrocytosis not polycythemia and to follow platelet count vs. hemaglobin/hematocrit levels and not donate blood. So for 2 years I did that and my levels ranged from 18-20 for hemaglobin. Never going above 20 and my platelet count always in the middle of the range. My doctor recently passed away and I went to a new Endo. 12/1 was at 18.1. 12/5 I gave blood for the first time in 2 years. 2/24 I was at 18.6 and stopped taking testosterone per Dr order and ordered me to see hematologist on 3/24 3/7 (today) I donated blood again and It was at 19 prior to the draw. I was sick with upper respiratory (the cough) from Decmer 4th til about 2 weeks ago and haave been taking Vitamin C 1000 mg per day. Any thoughts here? Im wondering if the Vitamin C could be elevating my hemaglobin? I would have thought being off Testosterone for 2 weeks and giving 2 blood draws my hemaglobin would have been down. [/QUOTE]
