[QUOTE="Luca_03, post: 139252, member: 18297"] Hi All, How can I replenish my Iron levels? My doctor wanted my hematocrit to come down from 53 back in the summer time. Its now at 49.3. I did 3 blood donations. One in May 2018, Aug 2018 and Oct 2018. My ferritin was at a score of 17 on my Oct blood tests. At that time the doc said to stop blood donations and I didnt do anymore since Oct. My ferritin is still at 17 on my blood test done a few days ago. The test says Nomal ferritin range is 30-400. My Iron saturation has changed since october also. Now it is at 11 (normal range is 15-55). UIBC also changed, it went up at 373 (normal range is 111-343.). My RBC is also a tiny bit high at 5.98 (normal range 4.14-5.80) maybe from not being hydrated before the blood test. And RDW is a tad high at 15.5 (normal range is 12.3-15.4). Could my Iron still be depleted since my last donation in Oct 2018? I am also [U]vegetarian[/U]. I dont want to cause my hematocrit to go high either. Its been at 49.3 on my last two blood tests ever since Oct. So its good that it has remained stable. If I take Iron pills lets say three times a week or even twice a week for the next 4 weeks will this cause my hematocrit to go up also? Ive noticed a little bit of losing hair ever since beginning blood donations back in May and a bit of fatigue. What should I do to increase iron but not jeapordize hematocrit levels? Just take iron pills? (TRT regimen is 0.35ml 2x a week) (HCG 0.50ml 2x a week) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
