[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 255211, member: 15832"] Yes, months into TRT my first endo ran a blood test, iron saturation 14% (ranges 20-55%) and iron one point from the very bottom of the ranges. If doctors had checked my ferritin, it would have been below range. So I was reviewing these labs to help explain my symptoms, it was Dr. Saya of Defy Medical that caught it, due to the MCV at 80, bottomed of the range and had told me I likely had low iron. 2 weeks later, ferritin is 24, iron saturation, 12% and iron 42 or below range. I stopped TRT and got ferritin up to 128, without iron supplements, meaning via diet alone ferritin recovered, went back on TRT and months later ferritin is again 24 and iron, iron saturation low. It was then my endocrinologist told me that someone on TRT uses up more iron than someone not on the T replacement and he recommended iron supplements which I take to this day. [/QUOTE]
