Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
Thank you for that. I’m doing a little research right now and appreciate the info. I recently switched to 10 mg ED dose until I get in to see my Dr. It’s a pain in the ass to pin myself every day but I am interested to see if it helps.- JetSpyder

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
Really appreciate the positive vibes and words. I really could use some positivity right now because I just don't know where to go. I have been on a gradual reduction over the past few years to try and find the sweet spot. Unfortunately, that has never come. When I was on a higher dose I had...- JetSpyder

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
Well here we go again. Now I'm just as confused as ever. Did a re-run of my labs and now I get this. How the F can my HCT be back up to 53.4% when I'm only on 77 mg weekly?!?! None of this shit makes sense anymore. Fasted and was well hydrated first thing in the morning. Obviously something is...- JetSpyder

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
Thanks and yeah that is next to try. Have you had better luck with topical or oral? I got retested this morning and I’m hoping to get the results this week. It’s amazing to me how inept some of the Dr’s are out there. Not a single Dr in my 12 years has asked to test my ferritin or iron levels...- JetSpyder

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
I got on TRT because I had extreme fatigue. I was sleeping 12 hrs a night and could nap again in the afternoon. As soon as I began this went away. Also libido and erectile dysfunction. Also this was a huge help the first 8 years or so. I am a very active person so I’m scared to get off and have...- JetSpyder

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
I wish that was the case for me. The past year or so has been when my HCT has been the highest. I've been on TRT for 12 years now and honestly, I've never felt great from it. I'm constantly chasing one thing after another. But also, who the F knows what I should be feeling like at this age since...- JetSpyder

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
I'm wondering if that has been the case for a while. For this test I was fully hydrated. I gave blood at 930 am after I fasted all night and morning. Drank about a half-gallon after I got up that day. However, my other tests over the years I was probably not adequately hydrated. But I'm def...- JetSpyder

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
I am one of the guys that deals with erythrocytosis and I have been for years. I have lowered my T dose to 70 mg per week. 20 mg EOD. Over the past year I have really been struggling with the cycle of donating, then crashing my ferritin levels. In April of this year my HCT got up to 53.2 and I...- JetSpyder

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
Thank you. This is all pretty me to me. None of my previous Dr have tested my ferritin or iron levels before. Only my hemoglobin and hematocrit. Have you tried to up your ferritin levels to see how you feel? I feel like I'm just going in circles.- JetSpyder

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
Got to love amazon. I was not supplementing preg but 2 hours ago I ordered a bottle and it just arrived. I am going to try the switch over to prop and give it a shot. I have a couple weeks left of cyp that I am going to finish off before I start. One question though. You suggest starting with...- JetSpyder

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
Amen brother. I was shocked when I went in. Waited 3 months to see him and for him to tell me that. I got iritated and basically told him to fuck off. Just frustrating trying to find any TRT doctors with any knowledge but hey... thats why this forum is great. Luckily my endo is cool about most...- JetSpyder

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
Thank you for the insights. Yeah I've basically just kept lowering my dose over the past 2 years to try and curb my anxiety and heart palps. I've never really had any serious anxiety until the past couple years. And the biggest problem is the head fog. Just can't seem to focus or concentrate on...- JetSpyder

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
Yeah, I've mulled this over for a while now. Unfortunately, my endo is a hard no on prescribing me any AI. I recently found a new endo and he won't even see me unless I get off of TRT for 8 weeks so he can diagnose why I have hypogonadism in the first place.- JetSpyder

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
I had done the 23andMe about 6 months ago so I just went in and paid to see if I had the C282Y genes. I am negative for both!! How do I check to see if I have iron overload or hemochromatosis?- JetSpyder

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
My SHBG has always been low. Even when I was taking 200mg/wk. Always floats around the 20 mark. Thanks for the advice and I agree about not donating for at least a year. As for my other health. I am pretty healthy and don’t take a lot of supplements. I have some joint issues from sports so I...- JetSpyder
