[QUOTE="shieldsbounce, post: 191077, member: 41453"] First time poster here but I ocassionally stalk these forums, reddit, t-nation and google regarding hematocrit looking for an answer to manage it better and I came across this post yesterday evening! [USER=13512]@HealthMan[/USER] I'm interested in trying out your protocol. I once tried TRT just over a year ago (doctor prescribed Tostran 10mg x2 daily applied scrotally) and it took a couple of weeks before I started experiencing PV like symptoms (permanent headaches, itchy/prickly skin when taking hot baths; extremely flushed at all times and my blood pressure went up from normal to hypertension!). I had an unquenchable thirst as if I could have drank all the water on planet earth and still want more...it was not a pleasant experience! I got a blood test during this period which showed my HCT to be around 49%. My ferritin levels were around 170 but unfortunately my iron serum levels were haemolysed so I don't have the data to hand. I ended up withdrawing from TRT immediately and got a phlebotomist to take a pint and after a couple of days all of the problems I experienced disppeared. What I'm wondering was all of that due to poorly managed iron levels and if I were to repeat the TRT with your protocol, perhaps the symptoms I experienced would vanish entirely. I've decided to go ahead and try your protocol anyway just so I can see if I see any benefits. Will be a couple of days before I get it. My Tostran has expired too so I'll need to get another script so I can get started! One question I had about the lactoferritin, does the source matter particularly? I've seen some posts floating about showing that lactoferritin is present in whey protein. Although the point you originally meant about taking it on an empty stomach would probably negate using whey. [/QUOTE]
