I tried to donate blood because my hematocrit got a little high last blast and with being on trt, I didn't figure it was going to go down without donating. The first time I was told my iron was high at 18.4 so they couldn't take it. My brother is a paramedic and SIL a nurse so I asked him if he could get some equipment to take blood. He didn't have exactly the right stuff so it took a long time and we only took about 3/4 pint.
Then Sunday, two weeks later, I went back to donate. Iron was under limit at 17 so I donated a pint. When I took the bandage off 30 minutes after, it was still slightly bleeding and the vein was swollen. Most likely she blew the vein taking it out. So I hit the gym Monday morning and there's a slight pain doing bench, then a sharp pain at the vein when I went to lift the dumbbells for shoulder press so I stopped. So today I changed my routine amd did legs instead of back, bi's, traps to give the arm a little more rest. No pain, but dang was I fatigued quickly. I only made it 3/4 of the way thru and the legs were shaking and worn out.
I also passed smooth out in bed Monday night while waiting for my wife to come to bed so we could have sex. Passed out to the point, she was talking to me about how upset she was that I wasn't doing her and I never heard a work until she got mad and yelled. Even then, I woke up long enough to say I was asleep and didn't know what she was talking about, then passed out again in between jer sentences which made her more mad. I couldn't come out of the fog until she finally yelled enough that it pissed me off and I yelled back. Then I was awake enough to take care of business and promptly passed out again after.
I assume I just need a couple days recovery and drink enty of fluids, bt thought I'd ask the experts.
