[FONT=&quot]I've been wondering taking my hematocrit and Rbc numbers if I should donate blood. I've been feeling pretty short of breath and lethargic.[/FONT]

I personally don't rely on a number and just donate once or twice a cycle depending on what I run and how long. EQ generally causes the highest spike in RBC.
 
direct from the red cross website

[FONT=&quot]You must wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations of whole blood and 16 weeks (112 days) between Power Red donations. Platelet apheresis donors may give every 7 days up to 24 times per year. Regulations are different for those giving blood for themselves (autologous donors).[/FONT]

When? 3am on a Sunday morning in a storm (it doesn't matter).

I recommend just going every 8 weeks whether on cycle or off. Exactly what I do
