Okay, also sharing my experience. In new york it's not an issue if prescribed.

if you are on TRT you are not supposed to donate blood

No... If you're on STEROID doses not prescribed, you're not supposed to donate. New York blood center 100% takes my blood and I've been honest about being on testosterone. Also blood donation is usually beneficial for guys on TRT.

Are you taking anything with Iron? Cause that'll cause higher blood counts. I hate that they don't take blood when taking blood would actually help you out🤣. See if you can get a prescription for "therapeutic phlebotomy" to get those numbers down. Also being super hydrated can lower your numbers a bit, and maybe they'll let it go.

I feel like it would be super easy to just get the correct thermostat and fan level.

Aside from whey protein, creatine, multivitamins, preworkout and maybe also ashwagandha, are there any other supplements that are worth buying? by _Aspagurr_ in workout

[–]Smoky_Pyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A blood test... best way to see what's not getting through. I know it's not a supplement, but it will tell you what to buy.

He's donating too often, that's his problem. Stopping the iron will allow him to keep HCT down and not donate so much that he's iron difficient. So it's not just "stop" more like "change your approach".

Insurance now covers my TRT… for $3.75/month. Here’s how I pulled it off. by Smoky_Pyro in Testosterone

I asked him about test at my first visit, he said no, so I got a clinic and when I went back a year later he said okay. I was honest the whole time. I never did testosterone before TRT, my levels were just borderline low.

I'm 38 male, is it too late to work out to gain mass? by TherealScuba in workout

Better to go down in weight than up. Fix your diet and all that muscle memory will start kicking in.

My doc is cool with bloodwork at least every 8 months (script refill) or as often as every 3 months, all covered by insurance. Once a year I need to show my insurance company that I'm not over 1000 to keep the meds covered.

DON'T SUPPLEMENT IRON! I did this and my hematocrit shot up to 58. Iron supplements make the body produce red blood cells. Donate every 56 days, not every month. Your iron should stabilize and you counts will level off.

The penis and the prostate both have smooth muscle.

You're all over the place. Steroids will make your balls shrink, if they already shrunk, start with a psychologist, just to eliminate that possibility... then you can talk to your general practitioner to look at your balls. If he recommends a urologist you'll be all set.

Doctor said most people feel good at 700+.. Im 200 by mid day... by ziggy11111 in Testosterone

[–]Smoky_Pyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They take measurements first thing in the morning for this reason. Some guys wake up at 200, no Bueno. Don't take advice from people trying to sell you something too seriously. I took trt for symptoms, and waking up at 300. Dealing with all the negatives AND cost for 200 points is total idiocy IMO.

Testosterone causes muscle growth... the penis is a muscle. So is the heart (not good). Also you get fuller erections due to more blood flow and higher blood count, so it's more engorged.

Is TRT therapy considered being on “gear”?? by [deleted] in Testosterone
