Blood donation question

[jhonewq32]

Hey there,
I'm currently in my fourth week of a testosterone cycle, taking a smaller dose of 350mg per week, split into doses every 3.5 days. I had planned to do blood work in week 6 and donate if necessary, but I just found out that the Red Cross will be at my workplace tomorrow. They're offering compensation, and since it's convenient, I'm considering donating power reds.

I'm wondering if it's okay to donate this early into the cycle. My concern is that if my levels increase later on, I might not be able to donate until after the cycle ends.

I don't think it's a big issue, but I'd appreciate your opinions. After this, I'll be transitioning to TRT, so I can always check my blood work later to see how it affects my CBC. The blood check at week 6 will likely show lower levels.

Thanks for your help.

Rather than overthinking it, just make a donation. Taking a break for two weeks won't cause a significant impact, and you'll have the chance to donate again in 56 days.

I give a double red donation before an emergency and I'm on a weekly TRT of 200. Later, I donate again after two or three months. I sign up with two different labs. This way, I have more double red options if needed urgently.
