I think I was starting right about where you are (right on the upper limit). Half a liter did it for me. If I had the stomach for it I would have gone for the whole liter.

ETA: My hemocrit was only 56 (37.5-51.0) and ended up in the high 40's. I can't find the after BW but I'm pretty sure it was 48.X.

To each there own.
I don't eat meat though so I feel maybe thats why my rbc/bloods are good?
anyway... be safe!

i also was a medic for years.. yea.. i know how to do it myself..

i still go out to a donation center and do it with them.. 1. its safer.. 2. youre helping someone out.. with a ab positive bloodtype im the second rarest out there

I'm on blood thinner warfarin so they don't want my blood. and I feel pretty bad if some ordinarily good guy got some of my hormone filled blood and then got picked up for sexual assault because he doesn't have my restraint

Ya not only would it be way more convent but also just safer for everyone, being on a bunch of drugs, anabolic and not... that I don't want anyone having my blood

My problem is that I cannot donate blood in USA. Lived in Europe between 1980 and 1985, something about mad cow disease

I live in Canada.

My hematocrit was quite a bit elevated in 2007. The doc told me my blood was like ketchup!

Was paying to get phlebotomies done at a naturopathic clinic but then reasoned that it would be cheaper and m ore beneficial to just donate blood to the local blood bank.

Had to tell a few lies on the form they make you fill out. Mostly about steroid use, GH and laying with a few ladies of the evening but since I've never shared needles and have always been STI checked I didn't feel so bad.

Anyways bottom line is that it took about 3 years but now everything is right where it is supposed to be.

Did your blood actually appear to be thick ?

Yes you could visibly see the difference in the draw from the first treatment to the last. Actually it was kind of an eye opener but when you are ramming a CC of tren a day I guess that is to be expected.
