[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 139265, member: 13512"] Very common problem. You are donating too often to reduce HCT and this is depleting your ferritin. If you take iron supplements your ferritin will improve but your HCT will go up. Then you need to donate again. Never ending vicious cycle. My advise would be to try to reduce your dosage and see if that helps control your HCT without the need to donate. Some members have reported benefits from using grapefruit extract or BP meds like losartan. Other members inject more frequently and believe that helps control their HCT. But there is no proof these things work. Reducing your dosage is the best approach in my opinion if you are concerned about low ferritin and high HCT. What is your TT and FT levels? I fought high HCT low ferritin for 2 years. The problem was only resolved when I lowered my testosterone dosage and kept my FT in the low mid 20s at trough. My current testosterone dosage is 50mg 2x a week. For instance at 60mg 2x a week I still had problems with HCT [/QUOTE]
