Question for those who know about Hematocrit

Zero Tolerance

In late Decemeber, I had a complete physical and my hematocrit was high - I think 58% or 59%.. Before my 12 weeks of low-dose Cypionate (300mg/week) - it was perfectly normal.

How long would it take for my hematocrit to level-out or drop to where it was before - or close enough?

Thanks in advance...

about 4 months.

Donate some blood, you'll be good.

I encourage you to do some reading about the relationship between AAS and EPO(erythropoitin)
 
About 4 months.. How did you find out or know that? I've been doing so much reading...

I have actually done some research on EPO as a result of researching hematocrit.. I've been learning..

So this 4 months.. Would that generally be a rule of thumb to assume around the area of 4 months after a cycle, things should level out? (I'm on HRT but occassionally up my dosage a bit to do small cycles...)

Either that, or having blood drawn - which would take care of things right away...
 
Hey ZT or others in the know,
I am anemic due to a disease called Ulcerative Colitis. I am bleeding internally and it comes out in my stool. I have been seeing a gastro and trying to get this under control.
My question is I have access to all designers (SD,PP, halo, tren, methoxy tst). I also have some original ergopharm 1-ad and sci fit 4-ad.
Do you think any of these will increase red blood cell production, and if so which ones would you do?
I am 33 yrs old and have only done one cycle of original halodrol-50 and orestan-e about a year ago.

My next step is a possible HGH (for healing properties) and a good EPO AAS like parabolan.

Thanks
 
Unless I'm mistaken, ANY "Anabolic" steroid will incease red blood cell production. Something highly androgenic and less anabolic will do so to a lesser extent. But the more anabolic, the more red blood cell production.

So to answer your question, I believe ALL the products you mentioned will increase red blood cell production...

I hope you're not bleeding too much.. How much, if you don't mind me asking? What is being done to help the situation?

I don't mean to get too far off-topic here.. I'm still curious about my own question(s)...

Thank you...
 
ZT - thanks for the response. Didn't mean to get off topic here and hijack. Just thought you might know some stuff about EPO and red blood cell production.
I am currently taking two prescribed meds - ASACOL, and 6-mp. The asacol is an anti-inflamatory for the colon. The 6-mp i have only been taking for 2 months. Problem with the 6-mp is it's an immunosuppresant so it is decreasing my red blood cell production, but also keeps my immune system from attacking my colon. That is what causes the bleeding.
I would say i have anywhere from a few drops of blood to maybe 1/2 teaspoon (3-5ml) in each bowel movement. Problem is this damn disease makes me s**t like 5-8 times a day.
It's been going on almost a year now.
I don't want to take cortisteroids (prednesone, etc)
I also take lots of fish oil, aloe vera, probiotics, and other natural herbs.
I just feel like the anemia has finally been getting to me as my endurance is definitely down and want to do something about it. Just started taking iron supplements
Here's my recent values from last weeks blood test:
Hemoglobin 11.4 g/dl
Hemocrit is 34.2%

EPO stimulates red bone marrow to produce new RBCs. The typical life span for a RBC is 90-110 days. Once these begin to die off your hematocrit will, as you questioned "level out" given normal circumstances.

Having blood drawn is the easy fix here.
