Just had my consultation with Dr. Thomas O’Connor and he advised me NOT to donate blood due to my ferritin levels in the toilet. He advised to stay on current protocol of 50mg every 3.5 days and do labs again in 60 days. Hopefully my RBC and Hematocrit levels stay put where they are. Im so...

I was on testosterone cypionate for a year and was struggling with anxiety. Dr. Switched me to Enanthate and anxiety went down dramatically after week 5. Don’t know why but it did and I feel a hell of a lot better on enanthate.

Thanks for the input guys. I just saw Dr. Crisler’s video about this. I haven’t been here in a while and just found out about his passing. Very very sad news. I was definitely donating too much. I must have donated 5 times last year alone . ‍♂️ Always a learning process with TRT.

my hematocrit is slightly high at 50.5%. my red blood cell count is high at 6.59 million/uL but my ferritin is low at 11ng/ml and my iron is low at 45 mcg/dL. I'm really concerned about my high RBC and wondering if i should donate with my iron and ferretin so low.

Thanks Vince. I didn’t see reverse T3 should I test that as well? Mine was pretty high at 35 About a year ago but haven’t tested thyroid since.

Can anyone post a list of the most complete labs to get while on TRT so I can let my primary Dr. know since he's willing to work with me and I'm going through my insurance this time and they will cover it. I did that follow up TRT blood work at discounted labs last test but I wan't more details...

Any long term issues associated with monotherapy? Can your testicles recover after long term mono treatment if you had to stop TRT for any reason?

When I first started TRT I was given HCG with my protocol. It has never seemed to agree with me for some reason or another so I stopped taking it. I recently tried to incorporate it back in my protocol but it was making me feel like shit at just 250 iu every 3.5 days and had to stop. I suspect...

for those that suffer from occasional prostatitis.

Thanks for your input, It’s much appreciated.

Dam. I’m sorry to hear that dude.

I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad man. I’ve been on TRT for over a year and still having trouble dialing in. Hang in there man. I have learned A lot in my short time on this forum trying different things. Best advise I can give is introduce one thing at a time. This is a for sure way you know...

have you tried changing your diet? Avoid foods that are high in iron since this mineral provides your body with hemoglobin. Consume grapefruit daily because according to recent studies, eating half a grapefruit per day lowers hematocrit levels because naringin, a flavonoid that facilitates the...

Thanks MarkM for your response. I’m definitely going back to every 3.5 days. I felt much better there and was able to get off the AI’s. I only brought up e2 because Vince Carter said it may still be too high which is another reason why I tried EOD. I personally hate AI’s. It gives me the worst...

My apologies for not being as knowledgeable as you are in this regard. I’m asking an honest question based on labs done on a protocol That I already have labs for. I’m not understanding why I need to wait for labs if I already know what the numbers are. You mentioned to wait for my free t to...
