Current protocol is:
120 mgs of test cyp split into three 40 mg injections a week subq or shallow IM
250iu of HCG injected on the same day as test injections
DHEA/Preg 25/15 taken each night
Here are my latest labs.

My next appointment is not until the very end of this month so I'm in a holding pattern now.
As you will note, my Ferritin is low. This is easily explained by the fact that I gave blood in August, October, and December, probably out of paranoia. My Hematocrit before I started TRT in August was 49.1 so I was afraid it would continue going up. I won't be giving blood again unless I need to.
Also, my E2 is 52.5, which is considered high, but I'm not feeling any negative Estrogen related symptoms.
Everything has been going pretty well with this protocol and I feel like I am pretty dialed in, except I have been more fatigued than usual, which I think i can attribute to the low Ferritin.
Does anyone have any thoughts on possibly supplementing iron? Should I?
Also, the IGF-1 I asked to be included because I was interested in what it was... and as you can see that came up elevated. Not sure if that is something to worry about or be happy with.
Thanks guys.

. I'm also trying not to donate blood, after over two years on TRT maybe my Hematocrit will stabilize.
