How do different steroid impact Hematocrit levels?

[mugzy]

Do you find that different steroids have more or less impact on your hematocrit levels?

Do more androgenic steroids have a bigger impact on your HCT than anabolic?

What are your experiences? Lets discuss...

Orals are the worst on me. Drol being the worst of the worst for me. My crit and RBC count goes through the roof on drol. Last time I tried to run it was a few months ago, and before that - it had been years and I was a young pup.

I had to sneak around and do 2 double red donations within a month of each other to get back to normal. I don't have blood work as far as how high my crit really went, but I did blood work about a week after the first double red but I was 52.7 and shocked. I just did the other one last week and I'd imagine I'm back down to my normal 48ish. Double red generally knocks 4-5 digits off my crit. I was probably up around 56-57 before my first donation - and that's not good. My crit has never been above 53 before - even on heavy cycles.

Body changes when you get older. I'm done with orals for good now, and probably any kind of heavy cycle. TRT and light blasts for me from here on in. Just ordered some Mast P and will be running 500 test / 300 mast P - and that's going to be on the heavy side for me from here on out...I want to see all my kids graduate HS and hopefully college.

Nandrolone deca had me the highest crits out of anything.

Just curious....did your doc share the results with you or just let you know that they looked perfect?

I didn’t do blood work in the past, but currently my TRT has me at normal levels.... 45 last check.

A shot of Moonshine a day keeps the hematocrit at bay.

Equipoise was the worst on me as an "older" individual. I was 45 the last time I took it, and here at 47 I have no plans to take it again.

My 2 worst on a blood test were EQ and Winny. Both resulted in high 50’s. I generally sit about 52 which is considered high normal for our elevation of 7300 ft.

Hmmm... I'm about the same age, so I guess i will skip it too... Thanks buddy.

welcome to the Underground. Nice to have you.

I've been curious about this too. I have quite a bit of EQ, enough for a cycle for sure. I was thinking about adding it to my next blast. I'm 43, and getting close to finishing my first cycle. I've made a huge amount of gains in the past couple of months on 540 test per week and 75mg of Anavar per day. Now I'm already planning my next cycle.

I'm in need of some help guys. I went twice last week to donate blood because I was suspicious of having a high rbc and I was right. The first day I went it was 55 and then 2 days later it was 61. I need some guidance on what to do guys.

man people keep thinking blood letting/donations dont impact ur levels...everyone is wrong..... giving blood has a rebound effect.....give too much or too many times too close to each other and it rebounds......


get hydrated, go ask for electrolyte I.V. to help urself out....always ask for electrolytes or fluids after donating

There is a reason they only take donations so often especially RBC and plasmas.

I was turned away. They wouldn't let me donate with numbers that high.

Berserker I haven't been drinking at all this cycle and I'm thinking you are on to something here. Here in the Appalachian mountains it flows like water so I'm in luck if you're theory is true haha
