So, I'm currently running just a standard TRT dose of 100mg a week, and my hemoglobin is sitting right around 18.
But here is the weird part - back when I was blasting 500mg of test and 500mg of Primo, my hemoglobin was actually lower, hovering around 15.
I’m trying to make sense of this. Is Primobolan known for lowering hemoglobin levels, or is something else going on here? It seems counterintuitive that it would drop while I was on a much higher total dose of gear.
thats wild lol. usually the more gear you run the higher that number goes. maybe you were drinking way more water on the blast? dehydration can make your hemoglobin look way higher than it actually is on paper
primo doesnt usually lower it but it might not raise it as much as test does. 100mg trt putting you at 18 is kinda high though. you sure you didnt change anything else like starting to sleep with a cpap or moving to a higher altitude?
honestly sounds like a hydration issue. when i’m on a heavy blast i’m usually way more on top of my water and salt. now that you’re "cruising" maybe you’ve slacked off a bit? it makes a huge difference on those blood draws
ive heard some guys say primo can mask some of the test side effects but lowering hemoglobin is a new one for me. i’d check your iron and ferritin levels too. sometimes those get wonky when you’re switching doses like that
bro same thing happened to me!! turns out i was just super dehydrated when i got my trt bloods done. drink a gallon of water the day before your next test and see if it drops back down to 15 or 16
18 is getting up there man you might wanna donate some blood just to be safe. but yeah the math doesnt add up unless there was some other factor like supplements or just a fluke lab result
thats actually wild lol - usually everything goes up when u blast. maybe the primo was masking the test levels or something? or maybe u were just way more hydrated back then
r u sure the primo was legit? sometimes if its bunk or something else it messes with your bloodwork in weird ways. 18 is getting pretty high for just trt tho - u might wanna donate soon
i had the same thing happen! my theory is that when u blast u drink way more water and when u cruise u get lazy with it. dehydration makes your hemoglobin look higher than it really is
could be the primo affecting your rbc production differently than straight test. primo is known for being "dry" but usually it doesnt lower hemoglobin - maybe check your iron levels too?
18 on trt is crazy... i struggle to keep mine under 16 even on a blast. maybe your body just reacts super strongly to exogenous test without the other stuff competing for receptors
