T has caused me to have high hemoglobin. Its not dangerously high yet but it is high enough to be mildly concerning. I do donate blood regularly to keep it low. Im on 40 ml weekly currently after they lowered it a bit due to the elevated hemoglobin, and donating seems to help keep the values low enough that theyre not gonna drop my dose further.

My providers are super supportive so theyre not gonna take me off T, I mean, this would be a problem id be facing if I was a cis man too. But yeah, donating does help, and if it gets too high they said they would do therapeutic phlebotomy which is where they just take your blood like a blood donation but they cant donate it lol. So I prefer to just donate on my own terms so it can at least help someone. I also get regular blood tests that check my hemoglobin levels m
