High RDW for the first time ever, MCV normal - could this be from too frequent donations?

[QUOTE="Bubbs, post: 181063, member: 18618"] Because my hematocrit has been staying over 50, I have done some fairly frequent blood donations in the last 6 months - close to once every 2 months. For the first time ever my RDW value was high at just over 18, other numbers were in range my doc didnt seem concerned and said he would test ferretin next time around to see how my iron was, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a correlation between frequent donations and high RDW? Edit - context - TRT is 200mg a week, no AI, most other numbers in range but some a little high (likely because I'm about 240lbs and worked out right before the test). Benn on TRT for 10+ years and bloodwork every 6 months, RDW has never been out of range He dropped my test dose down to 100mg a week from 200mg and added 100mg deca as a replacement, unorthodox I know but he is very willing to experiment.
