    I do not know the answer to that.

    I suspect that the only amounts lost would be that carried in the blood stream. the rest is still waiting to be aromitized, pending, in muscle tissue

    Blood letting should have no significant impact on testosterone levels.

    How about leeches!?! (j/k)

    I'm going check with some of my clinics and colleagues for you.

    Yes of course. That's the assumption I'm operating under.

    I'll inquire about a medical phlebotomy with specimen destruction.

    I'll get back to you ASAP.
