Daily Injections Causing Huge RBC Spike? Why?

I've been using Vince's protocol (daily injections) for about 52 days now. I must say I feel the best mentally I've ever felt in 7 years since being on TRT. I like where the Testosterone and Estradiol is.... Not using any AI. The problem is I was absolutely in shock when I noticed the RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit. Why on earth did it climb so high? And why are my iron labs so poor? I'm absolutely confused. First time ever I don't feel any heat sensations. I use to get a weird "hot" feeling from time to time with larger injections. But on this protocol never once did I ever get hot etc.

Like I said I feel absolutely amazing on daily injections. I'm injecting approx 17mg Test daily Right at the 8.5 on the syringe. My body doesn't even have an iron supply (which I don't understand?) I can't even donate blood right now if I wanted to. Why is my body making so many Red Blood Cells? 17mg X 7 = 119mg Weekly. I use to inject 140mg (weekly) split (70mg) every 4 days (taking more testosterone before) and made fewer Red Blood Cells and less Hematocrit? Does this make any sense? Why isn't this plan working for me? Why is my iron so low? Any ideas? I really thought I was onto something! Back to the drawing board I guess? I'm so disappointed in the way my body is processing this. Any advice... I greatly appreciate it.

I'm trying to copy and paste important labs but for some reason the website won't accept them.
