    If I donate blood every two months even if I don't need it, I am doing a good thing for those who do.
    Giving all the time for the sake of society, sure on one hand that's fine. But if you're lowering your hemoglobin and thinning your blood too much this is problematic. This can leave you fatigued...no surprise, you're not getting enough oxygen to your tissue. Also, look up anemia, which is low red blood cells.

    Haemaglobin levels will return to normal within weeks. Blood donations every few months is not going to adversly affect haemaglobin levels at all, that is unless you already have low haemaglobin levels to start with

    True, but the idea that hemoglobin, hematocrit and RBC all go up because you're on TRT is a bit of a myth IMO...they can go up significantly but not always. And when they don't, when they are already normal or low-normal, giving blood all the time isn't a good idea.

    Its dose and age dependant studies have shown this , the older you are the higher the test dose the higher the hematocrit, im in the uk my trt is 250mg sustanon every 3 weeks
