Bloodwork - Should I even bother giving blood in this situation?

So my RBC is just a little bit high, but my hematocrit is a sexy 48.8. Should I bother donating?

Are you on a cycle? Are you just getting off? There is a reason why your RBC is high. Personally, I wouldn't donate blood with what I see in your results.
 
Donating blood will definitely lower your RBC. I know some guys who donate every cycle to keep it in check. To each there on I guess.
 
Any opinions on my estradiol? I don't take any A.Is while I cruise, so I wonder why it's crashed.... Keep in mind, this isn't the LC/MS test, so it overstates estrogen. Why the hell is it so low?
 
No AI on cruise but yes on cycle? Might have just been a small overshoot. I. Would not donate and I would not sweat the E2. Cruise a while n let your levels restabilize. Check again later if desired but if you feel good, well don't get too spun up about it :-)

I just started my blast three days ago. Obviously I'm using an A.I now, but I was wondering why my estrogen was so low during a cruise of 16ish weeks. I don't take any A.I when I cruise.

Yeah my bloodwork definitely isn't too bad in general, maybe I'm just being a little bit of a hypochondriac.
 
Oh dude, you've been here long enough to know that nothing is ever " obvious"! Lol!
I can't tell just from this post when you stopped your AI re your transition from blast to cruise. Nor can I tell from this post what your blast was. Nor can I tell when your bloodwork was done!

My point is, missing all of that important info, would be just a guess so I'm back to my original thought which is, " if you are not feeling symptoms of crashed E2 then don't sweat it.

And just To add to the obvious thingy: I blast n cruise and I ALWAYS am taking AI. Just not the same amount.

Thank you, this is what I figured but still wanted verification. Its rather low, but I guess thats just my body.
