Hematocrit and RBC bloodwork question.
Next week I will be submitting blood for my insurance company. Each year they do blood work to check for high cholesterol, triglycerides, and to test for nicotine use, to determine how much we pay each week for health insurance. They also do a full blood panel, not including hormones, but only the categories listed above are taken into account in determining my insurance premium. I hide my steroid use from my wife, and while the hematocrit and RBC levels won't make a difference in how much I pay for insurance, I'm worried that if they are very high, my wife will look into it out of concern and will realize that steroids can cause that. For the past 8 weeks or so I have been using 750mg of Equipoise and 600mg of test enanthate. Do you think this will cause very high levels of hematocrit and RBC, especially with the Equipoise use? If so, will donating blood cause any significant change to these levels? Anyone that can share any info or experience will be most appreciated. I've researched this topic on my own but would love to hear from you guys. Thanks!

AnonMy RBC and hamatocrit were just over the limit. I have been looking for a blood drive in my area to find out but havent done it yet, but Ive tried to find other solutrins and havent come up with any.
Also I wouldnt be so sure about your insurance and the hematocrit levels, doesnt "thick" blood increase the risk of stroke ?
Im pretty sure GSleepy was dealing with this a few months ago, I believe he had a thread in the "over 40 " section, or perhaps you can pm him.
WithdrawlMy insurance company does this really lame scoring system that is only based off three categories and whether or not I'm a smoker. I have to score in a certain range in three categories and prove that I don't smoke in order to not have to pay any extra each week. Basically all they really care about is cholesterol, triglycerides and nicotine use. They don't even check blood pressure. All the other blood results are to be discussed with my doctor if I choose.
