Sorry. I was half dead earlier.
Yes.
Hematocrit levels were 53.5 and then 53.8 at day of first draw.
She sent over an order to get my minimum hemoglobin level to 15.
Hemoglobin only dropped the aforemention amount after two donactions. While they did not disclose hematocrit levels, my hemoglobin remains high enough that I could continue donating.

You drinking plenty of water? High hct can be an indicator of dehydration.
How often ya injecting? Apparently more frequent infections can help with elevated H&H.

“Normal” RBC/hemoglobin ranges for adult males not on TRT are 14-18 g/dL and 40-54% for hematocrit. Both of your levels are normal to high normal. Was there an underlying medical reason your doctor wants to reduce them? Being high normal is still considered in range.
My values on TRT have ranged between 15.7-17.5 and 49-52% over the last 18 months. My endocrinologist hasn’t been concerned when we have discussed blood work. I do donate double RBC three times a year, which has lowered it as a secondary effect (peace of mind). I donate primarily because I’m O negative blood type.
How was your ferritin level? Blood donations can crater it while still having high RBC/hematocrit.

your levels are within range, why are you trying to get them down?
how much red meat have you been eating?
how much water you drinking?
