giving blood "DURING" cycle

[slimshady01]

I like to give blood as much as i can for my benefit and the life being saved on the other end.

Last time i gave blood i was on TRT dose of just 150 test a week and all went well. I feel like a million bucks after giving blood, heart rate slows, BP drops. My BP is always good anyway but last time i gave blood my BP was 98/50 the next morning lol. It gradually goes back to normal.


Anyhow they called me and scheduled an appt tomorrow. Thing is im on cycle now of test only at 750mg. Should i call and cancel and wait till i come off or would it not make much of a difference. Im sure the life saved is not going to be harmed by higher then normal test levels in just 1 pint of blood?

suggestions?

i may be wrong but it doesnt sound like a good idea to me. props for giving blood though, thats one thing i cant do.

[slimshady01]

It's like a oil change for our body. Hemocrit levels get high on gear and giving blood lowers this and helps in so many areas.

I gave blood 2 months after last cycle of test and var then had a complete physical done a week after the donation.

My labs were mint!! Cholesterol , liver, kidney etc were perfect!

Anyone

[poppz]

I'd like to know myself

[JohnnyVegas]

Crap, I am in the "I'd like to know myself" camp too.

I hope someone chimes in.

[slimshady01]

lol yeah... I may just wait till ive been at a TRT dose for a few weeks.. If i was on other injects like tren, deca etc i woudnt bother but a high dose of test cant be all that bad and your saving a life.

like i said mb ill wait till trt cruising but at the same time i feel bad since they always need blood.

Well the male human body holds on average of 10 pints of blood...so 1 pint really shouldnt do much, i doubt enough to shut down someone down.

According to the welsh blood service you're not supposed to give blood if you have injected any "drug" in 12 months. But then again they test every blood sample they receive so if it's not suitable they will just destroy it. Win win situation you get your blood taken and your oil change and possibly save a life.

it's good to give. where i disagree with most here is that when giving, there should be full disclosure. you should not withhold information, then justify by saying or believing that the tests should catch it if something is wrong. These tests are NOT fool proof, which is why you should answer the questionere honestly. I've never been able to donate blood in the states, but have done so here 3x. In the states, they also ask you questions if you have lived in any foreign countries, and when. During the 80's (think mad cow disease), my living in germany prevents me from giving blood. I'm supposed to wait 25 years (or so i was told) and then that will no longer effect my ability. Can hardly wait to see what the impact my living in Afghanistan will have on these questioneres?

Here in Afghanistan, there are NO questions. No one questions whether i have aids (i do not). the only thing they ask is if i feel healthy or not, and then that is done verbally.

I know in Wales that you have to fill out a form which asks you if you've lived abroad for more than 6 months a time or been to any foreign countries with any risks even USA is included in the list. They ask if you've Injected within the 12 months or if you've had tattoos or any body piercings within 4 months all these make you a bad candidate for giving blood. However if you go to a GP they can give you a prescription to get your blood taken and then destroyed.

Yeah but good luck telling them why you want to give blood to have it destroyed...

[Joemace]

They will be funny about it but they can't say no

[slimshady01]

If I told my doc I take gear and want to give blood the prick would tell my insurance and I would be dropped.

Ah the benefits of being British America seems so up tight regarding health care

I had this discussion before and i said its wrong to give blood if you inject .. If you disclose that you have in the UK then you will not be able to donate . Be honest with the people that take your blood .. Bet most of us would not like to have a blood transfusion to find out after that the blood came from someone who used to inject whatever in there bodies . Im not having a go im just saying what i think .

This. I know losing a pint ever two or three months is a good idea. i've never intentionally entered a vein with a needle. but i imagine i could figure out how to lose a pint all on my own. wonder if anyone else does it at home too?

I agree with you for the most part but if i was on my death bed and they said we have blood for you but he self injects a TRT dose once a week of TEST... do you want it ?

I wouldnt hesitate in a minute.

I dont look at gear users as a meth addict or junky. We are individuals who eat good and try to stay healthy for the most part with our one vice using enhanment hormones.

Most of us have kids, college degrees and live happy.

giving blood is just one way to keep us healthier and save a life to boot.

Im going to cancel my appt today and wait till im on a TRT dose just to be on the safe side and somewhat more ethical about it

i poke holes in the condoms.

The questions I had to answer took around ten minutes. There were a ton of them. The thing that could be a restriction for me was the question about injecting any medication not prescribed by a doctor. So, I have no problem giving while on TRT as it is prescribed and my Test levels are within normal range. If they don't want you giving blood for a year after taking non-prescription (cycle) Test, then nobody here should be giving blood. Not sure how to justify that in my head.

[Joemace]

I'm sure you could buy kits on the net that they use to take blood. However I totally agree with slim shady if we were talking about someone who jabs heroin it would be a totally different story. I had a transfusion just over a year ago and I wouldn't have cared if any AAS was in there I was more interested in surviving

Exactly, now of someone is loaded up with tren dbol winny etc those are not natural to our body and I would think twice.

A simple test only,low dose or trt dose I have no guilt.

[Joemace]

I hear you mate

[Bonaparte]

OP, I agree with your original assumption.

The amount of hormone in 1 pint of blood isn't going to hurt anyone. And even if it did cause some small amount of virilization or HPTA suppression (like if you're running a gram of Tren) in the receiver, that's still a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

They are worried about drug users because they assume we share needles and have diseases. So long as you always use a new needle, your blood is no more of a liability than anyone else's.

[devildog1967]

If all this is the case that it seems ok to give blood with extra test in you !! then why in most countries are they banning steroids being used in animals that we eat ? Its a case of people dont want any un natural things in there bodies .

Even some bodybuilders have been known to share needels .. So my thinking is you should be not allowed to donate blood if you take AAS . (FULL DISCLOSURE FOR ALL ) Keep our blood stores near to dam 100% clean and safe . As you never know when some child needs your blood that has no choice or say in the matter.
