Giving blood mid cycle

**bethdoth** · 07-15-2015, 09:10 AM

I have a history of RBC, hemocrit and others running near the upper range. I am unable to donate blood because I had the Hepatitis B antibody shot when I was exposed in the Navy. So I went to a Doc and now have a standing order to do therapeutic Phlebotomy's. I am 3 weeks out from the end of this cycle (tren /test) but also due to go get a pint of blood disposed of. Would you give as scheduled or wait till after the cycle? If after the cycle how long would you wait after the cycle? I know tren will still be onboard for awhile even after stopping and giving blood/making new would dilute the amount of tren onboard?

Your probably not diluting it by much, and if you normally run high I would donate when do. Why risk it. I to have a problem with hematocrit running high, but im able to donate. So I do double reds. If it was me I would donate unless your positive it wont spike before the end of the cycle. To me the risk of high hematocrit far outweighs having a little extra tren in my system.

You could also have your blood drawn, and add an extra 25-50mg per injection until ypu finish the cycle. That sbould offset any dilution that would occur.

They always check my hemoglobin prior to taking a pint. The order has criteria. I believe it says it has to be above 16 or 17 g/dl or I can't give. So if it is getting high they will take it if not then they won't. I had a superficial blood clot in my leg at his time last year don't want any of the deep clots that can be bad.

Whenever I donate blood they check for hemoglobin as well. Im never under 16.4, and the last time I was 18.2. I had changed numbers and I didnt get the call to go donate. So I went in like a month later than normal. The cut of where I go is 19. They almost denied me due to my temperature, it was 99.5 while on tren . That was the cut off, and I was able to donate. I always try to keep on top of it, I worry most about my blood thickening than anything else.

I agree blood thickening and liver function are my biggest concerns. I am eligible to get a pint drawn on the 27th I am not 100% sure when I will end this cycle. I am taking a low dose compared to most, 50mg tren EOD, 80mg test cyp E3.5d, .25mg caber E3.5d, stane 12.5mg ED, and T3 25mcg daily. I started this cycle May 25th everything the same except tren at 25mg EOD. I had a problem the first time I tried tren and wanted to start slow to see what would happen. On June 9th I bumped up to 50mg tren. So I consider this to be week 5 of this cycle and have not decided how many weeks I will go 8 weeks or 10 weeks??? Kinda addicting when you start seeing great results.
