+ 2 Blood donation on cycle
Quick question for you experienced guys. I am on week 9 of a test only cycle. Blood work came back with a high RBC. Was feeling a little shitty today so I took my BP at one of those drug store kiosks.
BP was super high. (150/90 - where I am normally 120's/ 80) Granted I had been on my feet walking around and I was about 2hrs post workout where I took a healthy dose of caffiene/ pre-workout.
I took three tests and they were all in that range. I will take one again tomorrow to compare.
My questions are:
1) is it safe to donate while on cycle - high RBC/ personal medical info won't throw red flags for Test use?
2) is it safe for the recipient? I obviously don't want to hurt anyone
3) is the high BP related to the RBC or could it be something else?
Any help is appreciated.

RustyhookerSummer time. Folks don't understand dehydration, which raises bp . Bp the silent killer. Piss should be CLEAR
Yes, go donate! Save a life. Post back how you feel 2 hours after donation.
Yes donate. Safe for recipient...blood is stripped and packed. Caffeine can elevate blood pressure. Good advice below...
Slow down brother. Couple things you should take into consideration.
1)Impastable had you point, First and foremost; those drug store blood cuffs are for small arms so they will read high every time. You can buy a good personal for larger arms for less than 60 bucks. In fact it is in my tool bag and should be in every ones', if you are gonna be in this game.
2) Giving blood is fine and will not hurt anyone. You really should also know what your Hematocrit and Hemoglobin are as well. They are the real benchmark for Polycythemia. (Thick blood etc... Research it). This is the real reason for bloodletting. Often times one bag will not be enough. Now here is the rub...9 weeks of a sensible test cycle generally is not enough to spike your H & H that much. These are typically seen with Equipoise and high doses of test. However, it is also a good idea to donate blood regularly. Every 56 days in fact.
3) Baby aspirin. Two a day is highly recommended when on cycle along with fish oil. These are for your heart and natural blood thinning agents.
1) Give blood, but do not disclose on the forum that you're on AAS or you will be rejected.
2) Im not sure how their screening process works, but your blood will be analyzed. They're not just taking your word for it lol.
3) yes. It could also be the shitty ass machine at the kiosk. Get yourself a quality BP machine (never cycle without one, high BP is no joke) and a sleeve of appropriate size. If the sleeve is too tight, it will skew the numbers to the higher side. I've had readings with incorrect sleeves come back in the 170s... With the XL sleeve it reads in the 130s which is normal for me.
Donating blood may help with your BP and would recommend you do it. Your blood will not harm anyone. After donation the cells, plasma and platelets are all separated and used individually depending on a patient's needs. The small amount of increased test in your plasma will have zero clinical effect on someone whose transfusion it. When you go in to donate they'll give you a questionare inquiring different things, one of them being if you've used steroids or needles. Obviously you have to say no here. The blood banks and hospitals always need blood so you'll be helping in more ways than you know.
Zeb could answer all your questions he gives blood regularly,I have given blood on cycle.
TrigguhHappy1442Yes very safe and highly recommended regardless what anabolic you use, however donation is absolutely necessary when using boldenone.
Your blood will be tested after its donated and they will decide what to do with it
Yes it is and you should donate regardless. You'll feel alot better, less anxious. I donate just for the feeling of decompressing.
Excellent. Thanks for the info
