My labs came back and my RBC was too high. in afghanistan, i could donate blood, problem solved. But here can't pass the prescreen since lived in europe during the mad cow disease era. My doc saysmy RBC is "dangerously high" and wants to cut my trt dose from 80 to 60mg / week to cure the problem. my total test came back 31 points over the high range, and no free test was taken like i had asked.

Hgb 19.4 actual

13.0 - 17.0 range
g/dL

Hematocrit
56.0 actual
39.0 - 51.0 range
%


E results:
Estradiol
52 actual
< 50 preferred range
pg/mL

since i've been blasting a bit, and not donating blood, is the explanation for the high RBC. So i'm thinking I may start drawing off a pint every other month.

What do you blokes think? Anyone else do this?
BTW, i've never pinned into a vein before
