[QUOTE="JimGainz, post: 155176, member: 19127"] I saw the report at the same time that my switch to 2x/ week protocol sure enough raised my HCT and RBC. As noted previously- it’s not a big deal- erythrocytosis (high RBC) is not the same as Polycythemia (high platelet count). The former is common with just about anyone living at high altitudes while the latter presents a cardiovascular risk. My platelet count was normal so two doctors did not even recommend giving blood. However, I gave anyway because I did not want to risk getting taken off TRT in case things went too high or I had to get TRT managed by a different doctor. I gave blood twice - 2 months apart - which knocked my HCT from 51.5% to 47% and RBC back in normal ranges. I’ll plan on donating again this year but not because I’m worried about anything - it’s a good thing to do plus keeps things in check (if god forbid I had to rely on another doctor for TRT many do not understand the difference between erythrocytosis and polycythemia and will take you off TRT if things go high even though there really is no risk) [/QUOTE]
