Blood work on gear, hemoglobin counts

[jtunderdog]

So I went and had a checkup today and my hemoglobin was 18.something. They took a pint of blood and I felt a ton better after that. They also told me I need to be taking a baby aspirin a day. I am just wondering what some of you have had as hemoglobin levels on gear. Any info appreciated.

Hmmm...not sure, I'll have to ask when I see the doc next week.

Never had it checked. What were you feeling like before they took a pint.

Is 18 high? Or low? What range do you want it to be in?

Adult males: 14-18 gm/dl

I assume a cycle would raise those levels? What is the danger of it being to high?

I was nearly 19 by the way. With me they already think I may be polycythemic which means I have too many red blood cells. I was sweaty, headache, and my joints were aching but I think that was from something else. The redness you get on gear is caused by this, itchiness, and just being flushed. It causes your blood to be thicker and makes you a higher risk for a clot. Dehydration can cause it somewhat also.

keep it monitored brotha might have to give blood every 50 days or whenever they let you. Im thinking about giving some just in case i havent gotten my blood done since im low on money in about 15 weeks. Im do here pretty quick just cant afford all the tests right this minute.

this just reminded me... I have to get back in and get my blood work done. I didn't fast long enough before my last appt. So they decided to not take my blood.
