First blast 400mg test C - how quickly does RBC typically climb?

[AverageMan]

First blast 400mg test C - how quickly does RBC typically climb? I had bloods on Jan 6th and RBC is perfectly in range (see below). Started a blast soon after and have mid cycle bloods scheduled in 2 weeks.

RED BLOOD CELL COUNT 5.46 - 4.20-5.80 Million/uL

I'm eligible to donate blood, but want to hold off until after my blood test so I can determine how quickly RBC climbs with a blast. At the same time I'm concerned about RBC climbing into dangerous territory.

FYI - My last whole blood donation was December 15.

I think it different for everyone. You'll just have to find out how you react. Seems like it's more of a long term thing that afflicts those of us on TRT more than guys that run cycles though.

I've run into a few guys that can't donate enough to control it with 150 mg week TRT dose and then I also know one guy that runs 250/week and has never donated and has no issues.

Good point. I started TRT in August and donating blood every 3 months has kept RBC in range. My TRT dose is 140mg / week test c, which puts my TT at 1150.

Trying to get a handle on RBC impact while on a blast. Not sure if there is anything I use on my TRT dose as a base. In other words your RBC will climb 2x 3x 4x etc over TRT while on a blast

I don't think it increases linearly with my test dose. When I add lots of deca or NPP is the only time I've noticed it creeping up more than normal. I've not done anything very scientific though when it comes to measuring and correlating numbers.

Thanks - that is information I was looking to find.
