Blood work Q

[frenchdog]

Can you get blood work done and donate the same day? Should I do bloods first? Does test/proviron alone raise rbc significantly enough to justify donating?

I believe you can yes. Just make sure you let the donation people know. I had surgery a few days prior to a blood donation and they just wanted to make sure I was ok and had eaten.

you should donate regardless. it is good for you and good for your community

yes you can do both the same day.. just have them use a different arm and like E said above let them know.

i would get your blood work done first so the results aren't skewed

I have a related question (which I've touched on before): I may have lyme so I cannot/will not donate blood because donated blood isnt tested for lyme in the US and lyme can be and has been transmitted via donated blood. Yes, I MAY have lyme - so I'm sure some will say; why not just get tested for lyme? Well traditional hospital testing isnt accurate at all and accurate testing is spendy. My wife has lyme, and it is sexually transmitted, so that's why it's highly likely I to have it. Anyway - I am on test e/tbol, going into week 4, and am wanting to have a blood draw at week 6 (half way through my cycle) but I am not sure how to go about doing this. I am sure a blood bank won't just do a pump and dump. Ideas?

What you will have to do is lie, get them to take your blood, once the blood is drawn tell them that you felt subconscious and did not fill out the questionnaire honestly and that they should not use your blood.

Sure. You don't 'give away' that much when you get blood work done

Nothing wrong with donating blood at all. I recommend it!

It shouldn't be a big deal. You aren't losing much blood when getting a test done.
