Alright bros, I went to see my doc for a follow up regarding my TRT and bloods. My doc said she was concerned because my red blood cells and plateletes were high. Now, I do donate blood to keep my cells in check. Does test increase platelets as well or is this something I have to worry about? I have also been on Primo and GW/SR9009.

How high of levels are we talking and what is your TRT dose?
My doc wouldnt tell me over the phone, just said they were high. Shes also refering me to a blood specialist just to make sure I dont have some other condition going. Never had an issue like this before. My TRT dose is 190mg aw.
High platelets is a condition in which the blood contains more platelets than normal. Platelets are small blood cell fragments that assist in blood clotting. In a healthy person, there are usually 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. A high platelet count can be identified through routine blood tests.
The occurrence of high platelets is divided into two medical categories: primary thrombocythemia and secondary thrombocytosis. In primary thrombocythemia, the cause of the high platelets is not known, and it occurs as an independent condition. In secondary thrombocytosis, high platelets occurs as a symptom of another disease or condition, such as anemia, infection or cancer.In many cases, high platelets may not produce specific symptoms. In other cases, the elevation in platelet levels leads to the development of unwanted and unnecessary blood clotting throughout the body, which can produce a number of symptoms.
[h=2]What causes high platelets?[/h]Platelets are made in bone marrow, the tissue located inside of bones. Abnormally high platelet production may occur independently, for reasons that are not known (primary thrombocythemia), or as a symptom of another condition (secondary thrombocytosis).
[h=3]Causes of high platelets in primary thrombocythemia[/h]Thrombocythemia is a condition in which high platelets occur as an independent condition without another known cause. In this condition, the bone marrow makes too many platelets. This condition may be inherited.

- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
- Blood loss
- Cancer
- Chemotherapy
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (type of cancer that develops in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside bones that helps form blood cells)
- Infection
- Inflammatory disorders such as Kawasaki disease (rare childhood disease that involves inflammation of the blood vessels)
- Myelodysplasia (group of conditions in which the blood cells are abnormal in development or function)
- Myelofibrosis (disorder that results in scar tissue in the bone marrow)
- Polycythemia vera (rare bone marrow disorder causing excessive production of blood cells)
- Reaction to certain medications, including steroids
- Splenectomy (surgical removal of the spleen)
- Are you experiencing any other symptoms, such as weakness or bleeding?
- What medications are you taking?
- Have you been diagnosed with any other conditions?
- Bleeding
- Blood clots
- Brain damage such as stroke
Have you regularly donated blood before these results came back?

Hey Dylan, I appreciate this info. Now thinking back, I doc did say I was borderline anemic, probably from donating too much blood too often. So maybe this could be the issue.
that could definitely be it... another common issue is having an infection... that will raise your count a lot as well...
Like I mentioned before, I never had an issue like this until now. Ots gotta be from donating too damn much. Probably my fault.
Gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope its just the anemia, and not cancer or an infection.

Your doc won't tell you on the phone? This is YOUR personal info that YOU paid for.. but doc won't say? Get a new fucking doc. Those results belong to you...not the doc. When I go to my doc if my appt is at 8am them they take me at 8am. If I do bloods my results are on my computer within 2 hours. Doc writes notes like way to go jake...everything looks good. For my concussion and my ct scans ...the results were on my computer b4 I got home. Doc writes in...Jake you still look concussive but you are way better than I thought you would be.
This is how you do medicine.If this is is not what you are getting the tell the doc to kiss azz.
Feel the same way. I guess she wants me to see specialist asap just be sure is nothing bad. But I agree. Definitly need another doctor. These big offices seem like they too damn busy to deal with people over the phone.
i wish they all practiced this kind of service... you have a damn good doctor, although thats how they are supposed to be...

Sounds like you have a damn good doc. Unfortunately many aren't like that but when you do find that one, gotta stick around.

Your doc isn't doing anything wrong. They're just following hippa rules. There's a possibility doing it over the phone violates hippa so that's why he/she says they're not giving the result by phone. I'm sure if you went in there in person and asked they'd give you them. Have you signed a release form?

Well I get mine by email. When by phone they ask my date of birth and the last 4 of my SS#. Point is I never have to call and ask. Point is this is my record and I paid him to do the work.How do they become such knob heads to tell you that you need to come in in order to get something you paid for. Nice work if you can get it huh?????
On another note, I shouldve ask before, but does Primo raise red blood cells just like test does? I know EQ does but wasnt sure if Primo does the same. Thanks
All AAS does bro. Some just do more than others, but they all can and will affect it over time

Thanks for the info bro. Was under the impression that only certain ones did.
as rick pointed out, they all can and will but some are clearly more pronounced than others... primo should not raise it drastically
Thanks Dylan
