Blood donation issue

[lxxRICHxxl]

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this in the past and can help me out with a solution. My problem is I have gone into donate blood as my platelet count has shown to be high on my blood test (427 Th/uL). I have been turned away 3 times because my hemoglobin level is below the required 13.0 g/dL to donate. I am not dieting for a cut and I don't think I'm anemic but each time I've tried it's read between 11.5 - 12.5. What can I do to raise my hemoglobin so I can donate? I take N2Gaurd plus a few other vitamins and supplements daily. My current cycle is Test/NPP/Var. My previous cycle was Test/Sdrol/Var. One of the times I was turned away I was 7 weeks into my PCT. Idk how what I'm taking is effecting my hemoglobin considering most of what I read is saying low hemoglobin is a lack of Iron or Anemic. Anyone run across this?

Thanks for any input in advance.

if you gave blood with poor hemo you are only hurting yourself. at this point forget the idea. we want to give blood to lower our Hemo for those of us who use steroids cause we are too high and we want to give back to the community.

i would monitor this issue over the next year and see if it improves. also i would go get your own bloodwork full panel to flag any other irregular things going on. see my signature on what you should get. once you get those numbers you can post them up and i can look over them for free on here or you can hit me up for a 1 on 1 consult and we can go over them and see what we can come up with for you going forward

the underlying cause can be many different things from cancer to environmental toxins causing it and more. but before you panic let's get full bloods done and go from there

Thanks Steve,
I might contact you for a consult. I have gotten bloodwork done a few times over the past 6 months. I think I used your discount code.
Doesn't a high platelet count put me at risk of blood clotting or stroke? I know 427 isn't super high but it's high. I guess my wires got crossed on blood donation lowering my platelet count.

You pulled words out of my mouth. Good input here.

Yes, high platelet count outs you at risk for blood clots...

Steve,
This is my latest bloodwork. I was not fasted so my glucose was high. Obviously if anything else catches your eye let me know.

you have an iron deficiency in your body

this can be from poor gut health where you cannot absorb your minerals.

otherwise everything seems normal for being on steroids. the high platelet count i wouldn't worry about right now.

poor mineral health will result in low testosterone so it isn't something you want to take lightly

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this in the past and can help me out with a solution.

I have been turned away 3 times because my hemoglobin level is below the required 13.0 g/dL to donate. I am not dieting for a cut and I don't think I'm anemic but each time I've tried it's read between 11.5 - 12.5. What can I do to raise my hemoglobin so I can donate? I take N2Gaurd plus a few other vitamins and supplements daily. My current cycle is Test/NPP/Var. My previous cycle was Test/Sdrol/Var. One of the times I was turned away I was 7 weeks into my PCT. Idk how what I'm taking is effecting my hemoglobin considering most of what I read is saying low hemoglobin is a lack of Iron or Anemic. Anyone run across this?

Thanks for any input in advance.

From your bloodwork below, I would guess it's something with your thyroid, you have T3 very high and T4 low and you have high progesterone. That's very odd. I suggest you get your thyroid checked closely, like xray the thing to see what's going on. Might be nothing or might be something important.

I would say to just monitor things over time since nothing seems crazy out of whack.

Lev, I appreciate your comments. You are right about the T3 & T4. I am going to contact my doctor about that. I have bloodwork from December (Off cycle) that has pretty much same results as this lab (on cycle). My progesterone and prolactin results have to do with my cycle (NPP 19-Nor) because previous labs they read in normal ranges. I was getting some soreness in my nipples and may have overdone the Caber when my AI didn't take it away.

Find out about the t3/t4 issue, but on the progesterone vs. prolactin. Aromatase inhibitors like aromasin/arimidex don't lover progesterone, dostinex (cabergoline) doesn't lower progesterone. Progesterone is the hardest hormone to manage.
