Red Blood Cell count/CBC, thick blood?

Member Stories Lab Tests
#1

How many have had their RBC (redbloodcloths or cells) checked? or any other similar indicator in the blood? Please post numbers if uve had it checked.

Have a sneaky suspicion my blood is way to thick. On testogel feels even thicker wonder if this has anything to do with our problems. I know T thickens blood as a fact but curious to c if a possible common connector between us exist in this case. My extremities going numb and ppls penises feeling cold etc seem very blood circulation oriented.

Maybe just grasping for straws but i know madclown had very high rbc count etc. And i know my blood took twice as long to draw after i stopped propecia than it did just a few weeks earlier when i was forced to draw blood by new doc when asking for propecia prescription. I totally forgot about this untill now when on testogel i have same weird feeling that my blood is to thick :confused:

Any response appreciated even if it shots me down :slight_smile:

Cheers

I’ve had RBC slightly above the high-end of the normal range even before taking Propecia. Everything else in the hematology panel seems ok though.

Interesting. Did / are u taking any blood thinning preparations or is that a live with it kinda situation ?

Mew yr increasing bloodcloths could be directly due to yr increase in androgen over the same period i suppose, still i understand yr concearns. hope u get it sorted out.

We need more ppl to respond to this topic especially those of u who have a low count, if there is any at all (hope not). To often only ppl who relate awnsers topic as they seem more eager too, understandable but unfortenate since this leave us with inconclusive or faulty info in the end.

I will include my own count next time i go to docs office in 2-3 weeks or so.

Thanks again folks.

My RBC is always just above the low range mark - like 4.78 with a 4.2 - 5.8 range. WBC is often the same but sometimes a little closer to the middle.

I was worried about this for a while (along with low blood pressure) but docs don’t see a problem and seeing that it isn’t below the mark or decreasing over time I’m not going to worry.

Other things always out of range (in the CBC section) is MCH, albumin, a/g ratio, bilirubin, all high.
