I donate every 2 months, is next to my work, easy and takes about 40 minutes total, but keeps my levels great.

I meant RDW is off a little, rbc is fine.

Leg IM sucked for me, every other injection seemed to cause pain in area for days and sometimes a lump. Plus lots of bleeding(could be because I was prescribed 23g needles) . SubQ, zero blood(with 29g) (I use stomach area) if I feel any pain at all, I just move it over slightly. Now I...

I did IM for months and dreaded it every time, pain in upper leg, bleeding, was using 23g needle. So I decided that sucked and bought some 29g insulin syringes online and started subQ, every 3.5 days, so much better. I noticed on IM my levels came up faster, then went down faster. On...

Split the dose from 100mg a week to 50mg every 3.5 days. My estridol went to 170+ can't remember exact #, but Dr had me on 400mg every 2 weeks. Was horrible experience, so now I take 1/2 a anastrozol every 3.5 days with the T. Keeps me at 24-25 estridol at every lab test over the past year.

I was on 100mg a week, but my T levels were above max on labcorp scale, so I cut down to 80(split up in 2 40mg doses) but I do drop to 70 a week when I start getting bad back acne. So with me, varies by lab results and symptoms, so 70-80 week has been good. I also take 1 anastrozol a...

I seem to feel better after blood donations. Might be a placebo effect but toward the 2 month mark I feel tired. Actually except for first few weeks, TRT has never given me better energy, just better feeling mentally and easier to lose weight even on the small dose I take. I have worked...

Ugh, ok, will check that next lab. Reason I was put on TRT was I did a physical in 2016 and first time my Dr checked my T level and was in 90s, he checked because I couldn't lose weight. So far in 1 year lost 71 pounds, but I have to take anastrazol or my estrogen goes up quick. 1 month...

Everytime I donate blood, they test to make sure iron level is high enough, so far has been normal except last time was a little higher than normal. My TRT experience started out bad, my Dr was not informed well on trt and put me on 400mg every 2 weeks, my estrogen skyrocketed to crazy...

I have been on TRT for 16 months, my hematocrit levels starting going past the max value after 2 months. I started donating blood every 2 months and levels have been perfect. I stsrted at 50mg every 3.5 days and 1/2 a anastrozol. My estrogen levels are always perfect, but my T was sometimes...

When I first started trt about 14 months ago my Dr was not too informed on trt and put me on 400mcg every 2 weeks and a 23g needle. Told me to inject in upper leg, was terrible, bleeding etc. Then shortly after at about a month, my E2 went to over 170+ over 5 times the level I should be...
