[QUOTE="madman, post: 194215, member: 13851"] I have been injecting twice-weekly (every 3.5 days) for years and run higher-end TT/FT levels although hematocrit has been driven up from pre-trt levels it is still within range (47 nmol/L). The only time I ever had to donate was when my TT/FT levels were much higher (unintentionally) which put my RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit over the top end. Lowering my overall weekly dose of T which brought my TT/FT levels back down around the top end keeps my levels to where I don't need to rely on the donating merry go round to maintain it. Some men tend to be lucky and can run higher TT/FT levels without any issues and others may notice levels stabilize over time and then there are the ones who will always struggle. The most effective way to avoid running into any potential issues with elevated RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit is to find the lowest TT/FT level you can run which allows you to maintain the beneficial effects of testosterone while at the same time minimizing/avoiding any potential side-effects. Easier said than done as many tend to be dead set on running too high a TT/FT level and continue to go on donating to try and maintain it or just let it run higher as they see no issue with doing such!
