I've been a year and a half on TRT. Never donated blood, my HCT and HGB and trombociti has always been nice and even to the low side(HCT around 48 for example). Iron increased when I switched from sub-q to IM.
I can share some results yes:
BEFORE TRT:
07.07.2018
Iron S 17.48 µmol/l 7.20 - 27.70
Ferritin S 231.4 µg/L 30 - 400 ECLIA
29.10.2019
Iron S 15.88 µmol/l 7.20 - 27.70
Total Iron binding capacity in Serum S 47.68 µmol/l 41 - 77 calc.
Unsaturated iron-binding capacity S 31.8 µmol/l
Ferritin S 321.2 µg/L 30 - 400 ECLIA
9 months after TRT and 1 month after switching to IM injections the first time I noticed increase:
25.09.2020
Iron S 35.7 µmol/l 7.20 - 27.70
Ferritin S 190.2 µg/L 30 - 400 ECLIA
11.12.2020
Iron S 30.47 µmol/l 7.20 - 27.70 PHOT
Ferritin S 202.4 µg/L 30 - 400 ECLIA
15.01.2021 Here came in range:
Iron S 18.69 µmol/l 7.20 - 27.70 PHOT
18.04.2021
Progesteron S 0.16 ng/ml 0.05 - 0.15 ECLIA
Bilirubin, total S 54 µmol/l 0 - 21 PHOT
Bilirubin, direct (conjugated) S 11.6 µmol/l 0 - 8.5 PHOT
Iron S 31.7 µmol/l 7.2 - 27.7 PHOT
The last results(18.04) I tested most of my markers that are bad. According to my doctor my progesteron is low although above the top of this range, bilirubin is always high, iron is what you see above, IGF one also is about 250-270 which is at the top of the range, I guess IGF can be high cause Im on cabergoline for 2 years now (2x 0.250mg weekly).
