I only give whole blood. My Ferritin was 11 after a donation. Then I took some iron supplements and didn’t give blood again for nearly 5 months and had it checked right before donating and it was only 15.  I don’t have symptoms and three doctors told me not to worry about it because TRT depleted iron stores. Plus, according to one doctor, it’s way better to keep Ferritin lower than higher. From what I’ve gathered, it would take months for ferritin to come back. I’ve tried keeping Testosterone dosing low (70mg /week) and even without Deca I was hitting 51% HCT in a few months. So it’s either run these compounds at a very low dose to where I would not benefit, or just give blood more often.
