[QUOTE="giannid, post: 70346, member: 14488"] My HCT was at 52.7 before I back in the end of November after being off TRT for some time. My level went down to 48.6 after giving blood, waiting two weeks and retesting on 1/18. My rbc, Hemo were also elevated. I live in the a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, so we have an elaborate hospital system. My wife called just about all the hospitals/clinics in our local area and none of them would accept the script from Defy. They said I would have to see one of their physicians to get a script for it. No one mentioned I could pay for it and knowing the hospital systems around here, they'd charge me $500. My doctor also didn't think I needed one so he just said come off of the Testosterone and retest in two weeks. Around here we don't have any blood banks other than Biolife plasma centers and they also sait they wouldn't do it. I didn't think the Red Cross would do it as my account says I'm only eligible every two months. They do have an actual Red Cross Center that's in the heart of Cleveland. I haven't tried them but it's not very convenient for me to go there as it's almost an hour away. I might have time to go there if they can do it on the weekend or I just may wait as I'll be eligible to donate in Mid May. Defy gave me a script to injectable B12 and I'm wondering if that had something to do with raising my levels up? I've been off of it for awhile but took it for a solid few months during my recent TRT. I'm not happy with having to come off TRT. I would of liked if they maybe started me out on a lower dose or cut my dose in half until my HCT/hemo/rbc came down. I understand they do it for safety. I just figured getting your test levels stabilized was important. Now, I have to start all over again and I'll be off of TRT for a month or so. I'm sure my levels will crash here shortly. [/QUOTE]
