Hemochromatosis ...?

Hemochromatosis ...
i have this rare disorder, i'm 24. i take the proper precautionary measures which is pretty simple - to give blood.
But my question has more to do with my loss of red blood cell count.

I'm afraid this takes a toll on my training and performance as an athlete in one of the more demanding sports - triathalons. is there any safe and legal way to reproduce more red blood cells after i've given blood?? or is it possible my body regenerates additional red blood cells following my donation?

I do not have hemochromatosis but I used to give blood and felt 100% healthier for doing it. As I am a female, I did wonder if this would have any consequences for my menses only to be told that within three hours the body has already made the bloo I had donated, which was just under one pint.
To my knowledge as a Athlete you should not be taking anything! If you win fair and square, then you are a winner. If you take 'something' to help your performance and win, well it is not winning is it, its cheating.

Your body will replace the red blood cells naturally. Please don't take anything artificial for this process--you could cause real harm to yourself. You need to accept that you have this genetic condition and pace yourself.
