[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 108848, member: 13512"] LOL. I know some members here are very strict when it comes to labs timing so just wanna make sure to explain that the 22h things wasn’t a choice! Also just to clarify i am taking 50mg cypionate twice a week. My FT direct was ~ 29 (labcorp) and calculated was ~ 21 when i was using 55mg cypionate twice a week. So i guess at 50mg twice a week FT should still be pretty close to that. My ferritin is now just above 30 (it was close to zero just before I drastically dropped my testosterone dosage. Dr Saya asked me to stop supplementing iron for various reasons. The main reason to lower my dosage was to reestablish iron homeostasis (my iron levels were off the charts due to supressed hepcidin) so we wanted to see if HCT would stabilize so we removed the iron to make sure the dosage reduction was working or not. But basically i supplemented with iron bisglycinate 18mg twice a day for just a couple of weeks after dropping my testosterone dosage. So my ferritin rose from almost zero to a little over 30 in 3 months without supplementing iron. If my hematocrit stabilizes and i can keep not donating blood i guess until the end of the year my ferritin should be back to good levels. If my hematocrit does not stabilize i will discussed with Dr Saya further reductions in my testosterone dosage. Regarding my biceps i got tendonitis in both biceps for months now. So i am taking care of this now. Creatine Kinase was tested as well and was slightly elevated. I have been testing my creatinine for over 15 years now and it has always been elevated anywhere from 1.25-1.4 and i am 210 pounds now with around 10% BF so definitely a lot of LBM to produce creatinine!
