Is it ok to Donate your blood while on test?

[Deleted member 61292]

I donated blood today. However, where you check if you want your blood to be donated or disposed I wasn't sure what to do so I checked dispose. Is it ok for someone else to receive your blood while on 500mg/test only?

 

[BigSwole]

pretty sure they filter it so all that stuff gets taken out.

 

[-Z-]

Yeah, I've donated while on cycle as well. I guess I don't really know if it's an issue or not. They didn't turn me away or anything.

But I wouldn't be mad if I happened to receive blood that had a few mg's of test in it!

 

[mike ross]

Ive done it numerous times and know others as well. Its fine to donate.

dunno if i would want to give up any blood while on cycle.... i need it all for myself! lol

Mike, can you elaborate on this.

I can. AAS (especially EQ) increases red blood cell counts, and blood thickness which is tested and referred to by INR Level. These things can increase the risk of several health issues, including blood clotting and related health events such as heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, etc. When you donate blood, you reduce your RBC and INR by your body replacing the blood that was taken, returning blood back to healthier levels.

It is advisable to donate blood, red blood cells, and even platelets while on cycle.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Its also healthy off cycle as well. Its healthy for the bone marrow to make new blood.

They test, filter, and thin the blood before someone else receives it.

Their worried about hepatitis C, hiv, CJD, etc. Serious conditions not aas.

Good advice..think I will find the next local blood drive. How soon after you give blood do you guys feel "normal again" in regards to your workouts?

Funny side note....I've never given blood because I'm scared to death of someone putting a needle/IV in me. Had it done years ago and I damn near passed out, turned green. On the other hand, I can pin myself ED and not think twice about it. WTF??

Guys I'm not asking if its ok for me to give blood. I donated cause it know its healthy too while on cycle. I'm asking if its ok for someone to receive my blood.

 

[sgtedrobinson]

They test it befor they use it and if there is some thing wrong with it, they will let you know. I give it all the time. They never stop calling me.

correct and it will lower hematocrit too...theres a thread currently running on why lowering hematocrit is important. Sorry fingers are hurting from answering email all day or id type more

I actually feel better today and I gave blood about ten hours ago

 

[mikevegas]

The blood clot and heart attack risk is no joke. Just look at my sig down there \/. Yes it is good for you, it is safe to do while on cycle, and safe for the person receiving. As mentioned, you can even be a RBC donor, as your body will over produce this on AAS, and the Blood Banks can use an RBC donor more than those that give just general blood.

As far as recovering from giving the blood, it only takes like 1-2 days if I recall correctly for the body to replace what you donated.
