**G-Force** · 06-27-2006, 02:53 AM

just got my blood test results back
i have been off gear for 6 weeks

natty test is at 12.3 (in the normal range apparantly)

liver and kidneys are normal
but i have a high red blood cell count and i have to make another appointment to see the doc
but this wont be for about a week

anyone know what are the implications of this?

how can i reduce it?
how did i get it?

my last cycle was - sust/deca /dbol

test causes RBC sybthesis... it will go away by itself in about 3-4 months... how high was it? ur doc doesnt know u juice? cause if not so they will think its some other condition causing it and thas why they wanna check it (prolly) and do some tests... unless its really high i wouldnt worry about it. How is ur libido? while ur test is in the normal range its low.... i dont feel godd with that little test, but its normal at this point of PCT,,

cheers, Hippo

thanks for your response

yeah my test doesnt feel normal - my libido is really suffering
i did tell my doctor about the steroids yes

i will give him a ring tomorrow and see what he says
i only spoke to the receptionist this time round

i did 5 1/2 weeks clom/nolva and am now taking 4g tribulus and 2 x zma daily

i need my libido back

**stupidhippo** · 06-27-2006, 03:16 AM

the libido will come back in time, maybe run nolva at 20mg a day until u feel recovered. I seem to need 2 months to be recovered.. Next cycle im introducing HCG as a part of my PCT protocol.. thats for sure.. to libido i suggest viagra or cialis if its very important.. i.e u have a new GF or whatever ... hehe... keep us posted on what the doc says but IMO u shouldnt worry anything about the haemoglobin unless it was extremely high...

Get a copy of your blood test and research the numbers. Your want to know your free testosterone and total. You should also check out our estrogen levels. Higher RBC counts are common. You can reduce this quickly and easily by donating blood - which is what I do.

my ex girlfriend (who is a nurse) told me you werent allowed to give blood if u were on steroids

mind u she would tell me anything to try and make me stop

Your blood will be checked for HIV and other infectious diseases. They will ask you to fill out a questionaire and there is nothing on it concerning steroids . They are looking for anything that can seriously make someone ill or kill them. Steroids is not that. It is safe and you are doing a good thing for someone who needs blood.

Once you get a paper copy of the test - post it - as you said. Then we can help further.

Doesn't your GF like the way you have changed while on the gear? I am sure she hears all the negative hype.

An increase in red blood cell mass is known as polycythemia, if the count is to high there is a risk that the RB cells will clump together and block tiny blood vessels (capillaries),

ive had a very high RBC once which resulted in me going to hospital to have some blood taken out, which is one method to reduce the volume, after this process i was given aspirin also to help thin the blood, in many cases having blood out isn't needed because the body will get rid of the extra RB cells by itself, this normally takes around 100 days, but if its to high the doctor will send you to have some blood out,

make sure you always have good time off inbetween cycles so the body can go back to normal.

I tried to give blood when on a cycle and I told them about it. They were fine with it, but my bp was too high for them to do it at the time. If your doc knows you are on, he can have you go and get some blood removed. That is what I did. It took a few days, but I feel so much now.
