I was not replying to you re: cheating the test, but the other post about hydrating.
I think you are on the right track, but you may feel crappy with the frequency change and weekly dose dropped to 122.
SHBG is important. it is very possible you have lower SHBG and you test results after a week at trough reflect that you burn up what you have very fast and need more frequent dosing. Could be a good change in multiple respects. You have to know SHBG to put it in perspective.
There are warning signs here that your doc/clinic don;t really know what they are doing:
-Did they test for SHBG?
-Did they use Estradiol LC/MS/MS or roche eclia test?
-Did they want you to donate blood plus raise your dose?
-That they gave infused iron in this context of potentially raising dose when you have high HCT is ludicrous.
It may be that going with another doc who knows what the heck they are doing would be your best move.
