Yes, it happened to me right after my first donation. I went from 56 to 59 after a few weeks.... Since then, I haven't donated and I try to stay properly hydrated and of course, daily cardio helps.

one thing that you need to get checked is clotting factor, if its low then no you aint dying from this.. lower you iron rich foods, start doing more cardio, remember to drink water, get a cpap if you have apnea..

Do a single every 3-4 months, take a quality daily iron supp and you`ll be much better. The last guy yelling at me on here not to donate, crit over 60 saying its "safe".. Yeah he is no longer with us.

I would bet if you drank a half gallon of water with a teaspoon of glycerol-which helps vascular hydration you'd be at 50 to 51.
I used to do it all the time while running a 55% Hematocrit. More water equals lower Hematocrit we have been boondoggled by the trt docs for decades now.

if you are ending your cycle, it makes sense. It would drop anyway after 3 months - which is roughly the lifespan of RBCs.... I continued the cycle.
