The blood letting has begun!

I have been on HRT for 3 or 4 years and my red blood count has skyrocketed a few times. Each time my doctors lowered the dose or changed the method of application of the test and the RBC would go down but so would my test levels..... consequently would feel bad. I was on Androgel , test cyp, axiron, test cyp, axiron, troches. Each time I was not pleased with the results but doctors were paranoid about the high RBC count. (The highest it got was 20.3.) I was also doing therapeutic phelemobotomies on an as needed basis (any rbc level above 17.) Well, my last method of delivery was the Troche @ 7.5ml 2x/ day. My test level only came up to 328 and my rbc was 16.9. So I told my doctor, to hell with this plan, put me back on injections and let the blood letting begin! So now I am on .75 mg of Test cyp. I was on it for 2 weeks and then I went in for my first donation. My blood pressure was through the roof and my rbc was 19.3 but they refused to drain me because my blood pressure was too high. I finally got it down low enough (by taking my BP medicine) to donate.
So here are the RBC numbers:
Week 1: Test cyp .75 ml. RBC count 19.3.
Week 2: Test cyp .75 ml. RBC count 19.6.
Week 3: Test cyp .50 ml. RBC count 16.6 (yea!)
Week 4: Test cyp .50 ml. RBC count 15.4 (yea!)

Week 5: Test cyp .75 ml. RBC count ???? (I am predicting below 15.0) I have not tested yet this week.

I'll keep updating with future results.

So, I will not and do not want to continue to donate every week but I wanted to get down to an acceptable level. As far as my test levels are, I do not know yet as I have not had any tests done yet. Those will come in a few weeks. Once I get both of these levels in the appropriate place I will start working out again. I have refused to even try to work out for the last 3 months as I am tired of knocking my head against the wall and getting no results.

I'm unfamiliar with that rbc range. Edit your post and add ranges.

My bad....I mean HGB.
Update.... for Week 5: Test Cyp dose = .75 ml. HBC = 15.4. Very pleased with this result. 2 weeks in a row in the normal range.
