[QUOTE="Westin, post: 278795, member: 39773"] >> About a year ago I had HCT of 50.5 and donated. A few months later it was at 50 and I donated again. Now I realize I had the draws when dehydrated and probably did not need the 2nd donation. My doc is understanding of why I donated and is saying the iron levels are better lower than higher if I'm on TC. He says supplements will put me back to high HCT. I do not expect him/Mayo to have expertise in dialing in. I'm actually surprised he was willing to write the TC script to begin with. I pushed him for over a year. I do smoke, quitting for the upcoming surgery today. Current dose 50mg X 2 weekly, and just added 500iu HCG twice a week. Prior to the raise to 50, I was on 40mg twice weekly for 3 months and free T came back low. Before the 40mg, I was on 60mg twice weekly plus 375iu HCG 3 times weekly and felt great but saw the HCT going up and dropped to the 40mg. I would prefer to stay on the TRT and just get the iron and ferritin up a little if I could. I very much appreciate the responses. This has really been stressing me out. [/QUOTE]
