Was told to do a blood dump 6 weeks ago, I did NOT do the blood dump. Am I OK?

I am not having any symptoms at all.

I did not drink any water the morning I did the lab test I regret.

I thought the nurse lady said I was just over the boarder of needing a blood dump anyhow.

This is the first two lab tests ever I have only been on TRT a few months. I am 32.

I don't want to dump my luscious blood unless I absolutely have to.

Please advise:

My hemocrat came back at 52.0 so it went down by .2 and they said its right at the edge and if it goes up next time I will need another blood dump. Little do they know I didn't do the first blood dump.")
