This is what I've been reading lately, and I would like to get it done regardless. Is there any benefit to donating plasma while on gear?

Ya man its like $50 a visit hereDon't you get paid for donating plasma?
Donating plasma doesn't significantly lower RBC or Hematocrit in my experience.
If you need the money, donate plasma.
If you need to lower RBC or hematocrit donate blood.
You can't do both unless you lie.
If you lie and they find out you won't be able to do either because they will ban you.
Hey guys I am having a little trouble finding a definitive answer but when is the right time to donate blood? my hematocrit came back high at 50.8 pre-cycle for reference.
Close. It is the percentage of blood by volume that is composed of red blood cells. There are 50.8 milliliters of red blood cells in 100 milliliters of Lokthan's blood.Good time to donate IMO. When it gets over 50 I'd say go. That means 50.8 % of your blood is not liquid I believe.

Red Cross, LifeSouth, and more. It depends upon where you live. Type in Red Cross blood donation to Google. If you were military and served in Europe, however, you might get banned for life. Mad Cow Disease fears.Where do you guys donate, like how to do this???
Yep that's me. I'm banned from giving blood for life. Only 1 blood donating place in my town and can't give for possible carrier of mad cow.Red Cross, LifeSouth, and more.

It's bullshit, too. Nobody has ever had mad cow disease from blood, and if I had caught it in the 80s I would surely know by now!Yep that's me. I'm banned from giving blood for life. Only 1 blood donating place in my town and can't give for possible carrier of mad cow.
I am donating whole blood first time tomorrow as a preventative measure. My HCT 45.3 (37.5-51.0) is mid/high normal, but my platelets 558 (150-379) are above normal.
Oh yea, OP, its time to donate. And donate on a regular basis whether you need to or not. I personally feel its better to be proactive then reactive.
keep in mind platelet counts have more false readings out of range more so then any other blood marker....what kind of testing method was used?...or better what lab did the test?..with a hemo that low it would be abnormal to have a platelet count that high..might want to double check with the testing facility..fyi
YesCan you donate if you have weed in your system?
