RBC... At what point should i be concerned ?

[Pumped1]

i am having some blood work done on monday, before i get worried about anything i am sure my RBC will be elevated due to some of the things i have been using...

Normal RBC is 4.7 to 6.1 million cells per microliter (cells/mcL) (i think)

My Question is do any of you guys on HRT ever worry about this? is it anything to even be concerned about?

what i am doing now:

i just started hgh 4 weeks ago (5iu's) 5-6 days a week , bumped up my test e from 125 to 250mg
and want to start blasting test suspension eod at 75mg for a 4-6 weeks...

have been on HRT for 7 months.

i think you need to shoot suspension at least once a day and maybe even twice for stable levels. i could be wrong though youmight want to doublecheck the halflife.

 

[swole79]

agreed test suspension should be shot daily

 

[Pumped1]

ya you guys are right it should be daily because there is no ester at all with suspension...

i guess no one really cares about high RBC then

I have mine checked every 12 weeks. If I get above 50 then I donate double cells & platelets. Higher than a 51 hematocrit and your blood starts to sludge. The thicker it gets, the higher the risk for clots. At a hematocrit of 49 or higher, I would be sure to hydrate and take either 3g fish oils daily or 1/2 an asprin.

Donate blood tomorrow. That will drastically help your RBC go down

What others have said.. it's either donating or going off until the levels are good again. Donating doesn't always do the trick, so be prepared to go off if necessary.

I am on HRT and have had heart problems and the Hematocrit is probably the number one factor they are monitoring for me to avoid overworking my heart.

I currently stay in normal range with HRT dosages.

 

[Pumped1]

taking both fish oils daily and 1/2 an asprin.

i take it they should not know about any using of anything when i go to donate?

 

[Gunsmith]

how many of you guys donate while your on?

HRT here.
I give twice every 54 days to keep hemo down to 42-45.
Unchecked when cycling it gets very high and IS IMO the most dangerous side effect for people gassing year round-even cruising.
It's healthy to give blood on or off.
A bit dated but:
