    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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?

    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...

    Low ferritin but high iron levels??

    I've been on TRT for 10 years now with many ups and downs. Over the past year I've been reducing my dose to as low as possible to curb anxiety, heart palpitations and libido/sexual dysfunction issues. Trying to get on the "less is better" train. I'm currently taking 77 mg weekly test cyp with...

    Hcg and headaches

    Possible that you are one of the few that don't tolerate HcG very well. It makes me feel like complete shit. Headaches, irritability, etc... Honestly nothing positive comes from it for me. I've tried it multiple times over the years at different doses to the same result. Good luck.

    HCG or . . .No HCG?

    Let me know how your low dose works out for you. I am dealing with the same issue. Everytime I start up again I get massive anxiety. I recently switched to 28 mg test EOD with no HCG but my penis sensitivity is mostly gone. I would love to find a low dose that would work but I'm scared to start...

    My HcG trials

    Thanks. I watched a documentary a while back where they interviewed some successful CEO’s who get up early and either take a really cold shower or jump into a pool that is around 50 degrees. Found it pretty interesting. I’ll check out the podcast. I just lowered my HcG to 250 IU 2x a week. I’ll...

    My HcG trials

    I would bet that a good part of those sides was due to the T dose which would result in very high FT levels let alone peak--->trough once-weekly injections. Most would never need such a dose to achieve a healthy, high let alone in some cases absurdly high FT. Ridiculous to start anyone off on...

    My HcG trials

    It could def be dopamine related. Other areas of enjoyment have faded. I’m not sad but I also don’t have the excitement for things like I used to. I have an amazing family and a great career so that helps. The HcG causes me to get irratated much quicker with things. Unfortunately due to my...

    My HcG trials

    Yes. I used to take Cialis a few times per week. It helped with erections but nothing with libido. I have no problem using it and will continue but I'm only 40 and don't really want to have to rely on it for the rest of my life. I'm willing to try different things to get some of my libido back...

    My HcG trials

    Thanks. I'm going to try this out but It's really difficult for me because of my job. I travel all over the world. Keeping HcG cold proves to be difficult. 250iu every day? That seems like a lot. How do you feel on those levels?

    My HcG trials

    I tried EOD for a while. I was doing 25mg EOD. Then I switched to MWF and went to to 30 mg/day. I just never got my energy back and my libido was gone. I tried it for about 3 months. My T levels never got above 550 total. I didn't like taking 3 shots a week so I switched to Mon morning/Thursday...

    My HcG trials

    @Cataceous thank you for the response. I tried cutting my test back. I did EOD @25 mg. It didn't work out for me very well. 2x weekly seems to work best so far. It's just trying to dial in the HcG. I'm going to cut back the HcG to 500 IU per week. Should I do 250 mg 2x a week or 1 shot at 500 IU?

    My HcG trials

    Sorry this is so long but wondering if anyone else has had similar side effects and what you've done? I've been on TRT for 7 years but have tapered down over the past 2. I went to clinics for several years where I was started at 200 mg and I received HcG as well (no idea how much.) Just like...

    How many like/dislike effects of HCG?

    Unfortunetly everytime I try it again it makes me feel like shit. I started up again 3 weeks ago (500iU 2x per week). Immediately after I felt really tired with very little benefit that I can feel. Where do I get this Pregneyl? Currently I get mine from empower.

    Las Vegas Doctors with TRT knowledge?

    In my experience over the past 5 years that is not true at all. I have lived in 3 different states in the past 5 years and have been to at least 5 supposed clinics who are "mens health" experts in TRT. Only 1 of them had a clue what they were doing and all of them charged me ridiculous amounts...

    Las Vegas Doctors with TRT knowledge?

    No unfortunately not. I still see an endocrinologist in Henderson but he knows little. At least he still prescribes me T and labs. With my insurance I pay barely anything.

    Las Vegas Doctors with TRT knowledge?

    Thanks for the response but that is not true. I have now been here for over 8 months and nothing. There are several clinics around town but I called a few and they are bullshit and only want lots of money. My primary care physician says he doesn’t know of anyone legit in the city and he has been...

    HELP! Feeling like shit and heading to a new doctor

    I had my appointment yesterday with my Endo and now realize he is just as clueless as the rest. My understanding from most users on the forum is to get your bloodwork done during your trough. He was adamant that I had mine done in the middle of the week. I inject once weekly on Monday (140mg) so...
