New CBC bloodwork

[muscles911]

So I saw the Endo yesterday for bloodwork, got results today. From the results doc told me to stop everything. I am only on one tube Testim 1% daily and Multi-vitamin.

WBC Automated 6.40 3.53-9.57
RBC 5.72 3.96-5.50
HGB 17.10 12.14-16.27
HCT 50.10 35.39-47.19
MCV 87.6 80.0- 98.0
MCH 29.90 25.69-32.95
MCHC 34.10 32.00-36.00
RDW 15.30 12.09-15.19
PLT Automated 225.0 150 - 450
MPV 8.80 7.53-11.28

Aren't these values slightly elevated from the Testosterone? Have to wait another month for bloodwork again. That means another month of feeling miserable.

No, those numbers aren't out of line.

 

[muscles911]

Well according to my doctor hee wants me to stop everything and get bloodwork done in a month.

If you are on it for HRT, how are you going to stop for a month?

 

[muscles911]

I am on it for HRT but wants me to stop it for a month and do another bloodwork to see if numbers return to normal.

 

[muscles911]

I haven't been able to stop. I did for one day but felt like crap, no energy, took 2 naps just plain lethargic. So I am goingto go give blood tomorrow to see if that helps.

I have been on TRT for almost 2 years and I have to donate every 2 months or so. In some guys testosterone increases red blood cell production which is what is causing your red blood cell counts to be high. Donating blood will help bring everything back into the normal ranges and you might want to donate a power red.

test increased hematopoiesis (blood production) that's why your RBC counts are slightly higher. you're doc sounds like a dumbass no offence
