He didn't tell me to donate. I did it because I thought if he saw me over the range limit, I doubt he'd renew my script. I jumped the gun. And I wasn't fully hydrated at the previous blood draw I now realize.

I will stay as is. Any additional thoughts regarding that “Raising ferritin fast” protocol noted above? Has this been successful with anyone else here in the forum currently? I do not have sleep apnea, I tested 2 years ago.

>> About a year ago I had HCT of 50.5 and donated. A few months later it was at 50 and I donated again. Now I realize I had the draws when dehydrated and probably did not need the 2nd donation. My doc is understanding of why I donated and is saying the iron levels are better lower than higher...

Systemloard- Thanks for the suggestions. GoodRX prices monthly: Orlando $43,373, Jatenzo $1,010, Kyzatrex -This is a limited distribution drug and is generally not available at a pharmacy. Pricing prohibits this option.

My PCP is not concerned about HCT currently. He was saying due to previous blood donations the levels are low currently, and to avoid iron supplements because it will raise HCT quickly but not ferritin. He doesn't want me back to needing to donate so suggested avoiding supplements.

I have been on TC for over 5 years with varying results, mostly positive until the last year. I have had to do a few blood donations within the last 3 years due to rising HCT. It dropped my ferritin levels to 10, range 30 - 400. I can't get my ferritin levels up. My Mayo PCP said that if I take...

It is not. I used it a few years back, but I do not recall how long it took to kick in. Knowing would help me to know if I'm on the right track or when to give up and re-adjust my protocol.

For anyone who remembers the start of their HCG... How long was it before you first started noticing anything from the start, And what was it you noticed specifically? I have started 500iu every 3rd day and feel nothing these last two weeks. I purchased zyhcg from India. I don't know if it's a...

200mg per week right out of the gate is extremely aggressive. Most docs in the know will start you off low 50-100 and get labs in 6 weeks, then adjust. It can take a while to get dialed in, but overshooting all targets in their hope you’ll (customer) see a result on the way down is a lazy...

The h-moon phase may simply be that your own system hasn’t fully shutdown your own production yet.

I’m restarting 500 iu x 2 weekly in addition to my twice weekly t shots. I’ve been on trt for 5 years but the libido is gone. Shbg is only 35, and T numbers are good as well as e2. For those of you who added or started hcg, how long did it take before you noticed anything changing/starting to...

I have been at 2 x 50mg per week for over a year with Ok results. When I was at 100mg once per week I did have a couple days per week where things were working great. Question: If I went back to 1 time weekly at 100mg and even raised it to 110, could I recapture that "great" coupe days? Also...

I went from twice a week to 3 times a week for 3 months and mine went way up also. Went back to 2 times a week and it’s fine now.

If you’re feeling pretty good right now, don’t mess with it. You might end up going down the rabbit hole I did. Every time you change things you need to wait 6 - 8 weeks to see the results. You can play with your protocol forever and never get back that good feeling. If you’re getting positive...

So I back filled 30 IU of HCG into a normal syringe and it came to the 30 MG mark. So what is the difference between IU and MG? Thanks All
