About a month ago (a few weeks after last pin/end of cycle) my RBC came in at 5.83. A bit high, so I gave blood.
I got bloodwork yesterday and it came back 5.9. Higher...what gives? What can I do? I will check BP when I get home, but when I gave blood it was fine. 113/64, if I recall correctly.

Also, on both tests my fasting glucose levels were a tad high and 112 & 118. Possibly HGH causing this? I do not think it is a cause for concern, is it?

The RBC is only mildly high, so I wouldn't go nuts over it. Give blood again when you can. I'd bet that is comes back down into range given a bit more time. I'm not sure about the glucose deal though.

You body can make glucose from fatty acids and proteins. As for donating blood..I never made sense if you donate a pint the by volume particulates (rbc) would stay the same.

Good point matty!

Just thinking out loud here, but could pinning gh fasted then having a large coffee with tons of splenda before the blood draw have any effect on my glucose?

Yes, the high gloucose is from the GH. I hover around 120-130.

Another thing, if the slightly elevated blood is got you worried, try adding asprin for a couple of weeks
