[QUOTE="Lockout888, post: 53187, member: 14309"] Well, here is my plan for now. Let me know what you guys think: I donated whole blood on 10/19 after these labs: Hemoglobin [B]19.1 HIGH [/B](12.6-17.7) Hematocrit [B]55.8 HIGH[/B] (37.5-51.0) Iron, Serum [B]87[/B] (38-169) Iron Saturation [B]30[/B] (15-55) Ferritin, Serum [B]63[/B] (30-400) After getting BW done before and after a donation last time, I'm [B]guessing[/B] these are what my current numbers are now: Hemoglobin [B]18.1 HIGH [/B](12.6-17.7) Hematocrit [B]53 HIGH[/B] (37.5-51.0) Iron, Serum (38-169) 40 Iron Saturation (15-55) [B]14 LOW[/B] Ferritin, Serum (30-400) 35 I can't donate again for 7 more weeks. So to keep my Hematocrit down until then, I lowered my test injections from 160/week to 120/week. I started taking nattokinase (4000 fu), and drinking grapefruit juice every day until the naringin I ordered comes in. I stopped taking supplemental iron, but will continue to eat foods with iron. When I get close to the 8 week mark, I will re-test all the above to see where I'm at. If I'm still really high in hemo/hema - I will do a double red cell donation. If not, I will do a regular whole blood donation. I will bring my test injection levels back to normal and take supplemental iron for 2 weeks only. Then do another blood test of all the above to see the results. [/QUOTE]
