Been having no sex drive latley..energy is ok..i still get into the gym everyday. I have been on two cycles of test and primobol and just test before...getting ready to start my next cycle. Just looking for help to see if my body recouped from the last one 4months ago? Thanks for any help in advance
blood work pre cycle just came in...is everything ok
- Thread starter ddogg99
- Start date
Ok..so evrything is functioning good then according to the results? Just need to give blood then and all those high result column willl go back into normal?
You need to donate blood but since they might turn you away you may need a therapeutic draw prescription written by a doctor or drawing your own blood.
It's impossible to tell if you've recovered from previous cycles without having blood work from then. As it stands I'd say you're a till shut down and low t and low E could be the reason you feel like crap.

High hemoglobin, HCT, and RBC
The doctor could write you a script for a therapeutic phlebotomy or draw to lower your HCT. Before putting you on TRT he'd probably run more tests to figure out the cause or see if a restart might be possible.
Ok, got it...thanks for the info....one last question...so does this mean i should try and get all this shit in order before I start the next cycle? Will these result affect my cycle in terms of affectivness I guess is what Im asking? Thanks

Just a side note. Some bodybuilders smoke even though they shouldn't... None the less, stay away from cigs and cigars. That will raise your hct as well.
If you get a random blood clot bc of the thick blood then it could affect you indirectly but it's not like the test or whatever compound you plan on running won't work. I would absolutely correct these issues before cycling and wouldn't even think about the cycle until they're corrected.
I don't think high hct, rbc is a contraindication to giving blood. They don't run blood tests on you before you're allowed to donate. You just fill out a survey which asks if you have HIV or other diseases, IV drug user, or tattoos in which case they wont let you.
Just donate blood. It's free and you'll help someone. If they test your blood after you donate and something is wrong they'll just throw it away - either way your labs will be normal again.
I don't think you should start another cycle. Your testosterone is still low which is the reason for your symptoms. If you start another cycle prematurely you're just going to screw up your axis more and you'll take longer to recover and you run a higher chance of never recovering your natural axis and requiring TRT.

The DO test hct (using a simple blood opacity test) where I go, and probably most places. Cutoff is about 55.
^^^this. High hemoglobin is enough to prevent you from donating and according to FDA guidelines an allogeneic blood donor must have a minimum of 12.5g/dL or 38% HCT. Can't find the reference to the upper limit but there is one and I think it's either 53% or 55% like Mprtz stated depending on the place.

I can stand a lot, but I'd pass out even trying to draw my own blood from a vein.
