    If.possible, go with a double red cell donation. Possibly step back and look at splitting your weekly dose into twice weekly injects once back on TRT. You may be able to slightly lower your dose and decrease your a'dex and still maintain acceptable T levels.
    1mg of a'dex for 150mg/week is a boatload of A.I.

    Why do you recommend a double red cell donation over whole blood? He'd have to wait 16 weeks in between double red over 8 weeks whole.

    See my post above for the explanation. If he needs to get his hematocrit down a double RBC will bring it down more than a whole blood donation. The link above explains it.
    Yes he will have to wait 112 days between donations with a double RBC, but also if he titrates his dosage downwards (which he may have room to do), his hematocrit is more likely to stay in a manageable range.
    Also, if he requires 1 mg of a'dex/week, splitting his dosage may well reduce the amount of E2 conversion, hence lowering the need for so much AI.
