Donating blood while on TRT cause white blood cell count to go down?
Hey guys, i looked a little on here and google but havent seen much. Im currently on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) anywhere between 150-200mg p/wk whatever i feel like according to doc as long as i donate bllod to help keep RBC, HMG, HCT down as when i first started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in July i didnt donate for about 6 months and it got elevated. I devised a plan with my doc to start donating blood every 8-10 weeks and it should keep me where i need to be and he is willing to give me freedom to use whatever i like up to 200mg o/wk. My question is has anybody noticed their white blood cell count drop after donating blood also? mine has always been on the lower side of normal as well as my red blood cell count was always on lower side of normal. Since being on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) my HMG easily elevates as well as of course RBC and HCT since they are all connected but ive noticed since donating blood and then getting lab work done a couple weeks later that all seems to drop as well as my white blood cell count (WBC). It alarmed me today as i got results back and i was currently as of that day at 4.0 with a range of like 4.2-10. I am slightly out of range and wondering if you all have noticed same thing when donating blood. I was thinkiong since it lowers everything else that would lower WBC as well or am i missing something and possibly suffering fr9om something terrible i just didnt realize? I got my paper work for labs back after seeing doc or i would have just asked him but figured i would pose this question to board before scheduling an appointment with him just to talk about this. You guys have been a huge help to me and ive always found this board to be the most friendly well educated testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) board on the net. I appreciate all of you guy who have taken the time to discuss your findings, studies and real world experience. Thanks again for any help or insight fellas.
