Naturally decreasing Hemoglobin

As a career blood donor for Candain Blood Services I get a dashboard with my statistics.

While I have always ran a relatively high HGB before TRT, I have been experiencing a natural Decline in the past 6 months. Ideas, thoughts discussion?
120mg / wk Test-E e3.5d
Supps: glucosamine chondroitin, curcumin, silica, stinging nettle, bee pollen, zinc copper blend, occasionally vitD, Aspirin for hip pain, 2.5mg "tada" daily.

HGB - Numbers
January 15 - 209 !!! - 9 minute bleed
April 30 - 195 - 8 minute bleed
Today - 185 10 minute bleed

With all of the discussion about increasing HGB and HCT on TRT, I wonder if I have hit my normalized state after 9 months of TRT.

Thoughts?

I started TRT in October 2021 and here's what the dashboard has looked like for about 4 years. Today is not on there yet.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
