Just a quick question. I finished my 10 week low dose Test P/ NPP cycle about a week ago, and it was that time to donate blood as I do regularly anyways. They checked everything before hand as they always do, said my values looked good (17.4 on hemoglobin I think), and then did the drawing.
While this was going on, the nurse took a platelet reading and said I was a prime candidate for platelet donation (number was slightly above 300).
My question is for people on TRT replacement that do low dose blasts a few times a year....does platelet donation keep your numbers in check as good as donating full blood?
They said I could donate every two weeks doing that, it just takes longer which I have no problem with if it helps someone in need and they say they are always needing this as it's only good for 7 days.
But I want to make sure that it's beneficial for me as well as I don't want my numbers climbing too high or even going the opposite direction and going too low as every time I've been to donate even when I've been tied up and missed a few months, they say my values are always in range.
Any advice is appreciated as always!
