[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 123111"] To me, the biggest issue by far with being on TRT, is the constant issue with donating blood to keep hematocrit levels below the top of the range. Like many, I had no idea for many years what this was doing for my ferritin levels. Like [USER=2657]@Vince Carter[/USER], a lot of us, including me, tank their iron and ferritin levels because of too frequent blood donations. High hematocrit is the only side effect I have with TRT. Regardless of my testosterone dose my hematocrit remains high, either with gels or injections, for over 13 years on TRT. I have stopped donating and am in the process of increasing my iron and ferritin levels. This is likely only making my hemoglobin and hematocrit increase. At last check my HCT was over 54%. So I will try daily injections to see if that will help stabilize my HCT levels like it has for some. [/QUOTE]
