AAS with the lowest propensity to increase hemoglobin and hematocrit

Cialis doesn't do jack shit. It was made for pulmonary hypertension not regular hypertension.


Erythrocytosis isn't associated with blood clotting unless you have a blood disorder like polycythemia Vera.

Why won't they allow you to due to hcg? Never heard of that.

Cialis def keeps my blood pressure at good levels. I’ve checked on and off 5mgs daily and there is def an impact from the Cialis.

Maybe in studies it's different but for true treatment of hyperextension, there are alot of better options.

Not running HCG currently. But when I donated blood last, I was and declared it to Canadian Blood Services (I meant CBS not Red Cross in my original post).
Been on TRT for the past 5 years. Have an old RX for HCG and wanting to try it just for bringing the balls back to life and for preserving fertility.
By an older members, I meant members like you who have been here for at least 5yrs.

I on 125 mg a week of test and 1000 hcg weekly and I feel amazing, balls aren’t raisins and my TT is 1000. Only thing out of range is my free test is upper 200s (normal is 35-155). But I feel fantastic on this regimen.

Exactly. That’s a large dose too of cialis, not many are doing that high daily. Cialis barerly touches my BP. Only drug that helped was telmisartan.

Another note: I get phlebotomy but it reduces my iron stores. I try to replace it by increasing my iron but seems counterproductive as I am trying to reduce my HCT

Yea. It's always possible to be a hyper responder. We all see it.

My donation center shows me list of medication names and asks me if I’m on any of them. I tell the the truth, no. Then they ask if I’m on any injectable drugs not prescribed by a doctor. I lie and say no.

I once asked and was told that second question is to screen out heroine and other types of drug users and is required by the FDA since the 1980s because of hepatitis and HIV risk. The tests for blood diseases and the washing they do is so good it doesn’t even matter if someone lies. The tech told me they don’t really care about street drugs like Molly, coke, or pot, as long as you don’t come in obviously high (for liability and consent reasons) but anything else will be washed out of the blood.

are u donating plasma or blood? plasma is filtered of course, never heard that of blood but doesn't mean its not true...

Anavar, Primo, Deca, Boldenone undecylenate.
These steroids may still have an impact on hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, but the effect is generally smaller compared to other AAS.

Not sure about the Bold and Deca, deca is indicated for anemia. Those 2 bump my HCT up to 52-54 and I need monthly phlebotomy. Anavar didn’t touch my HCT

Could you actually become anemic if you donate blood and stay deficient in iron to ensure RBC doesn't go too high again? My hematocrit was at 52%, I donated blood and it went down to 47%. Now 3 months later I'm at 45% and still deficient in iron. I am cruising with 140mg of Test. Does that mean that it won't get high again on a blast because of the deficiency in iron?

a. Yep you can definitely become anaemic.

b. However, even if you are deficient in iron, you can still have elevated RBC's and thus a raised hematocrit. When blasting anabolics, they will still be signalling the bone marrow to increase RBC production at a much higher rate than when not blasting. RBC's will increase but your MCHC will go down. Still bad as you'll have thick blood, because you still have lots of RBC's being produced, but on top of that, you also have poorly functioning red blood cells now, carrying less oxygen.

Ideally when blasting -> donate to keep hematocrit in range. Iron supplement to ensure you can produce adequate QUALITY of red blood cells as well as continuing to donate without going anaemic. Quite a balancing act when blasting.

Isnt top of range RBC good for athletes?
