[QUOTE="madman, post: 109691, member: 13851"] Your at a catch 22.....as you know when ones ferritin is really low from too frequent donations it takes time when supplementing for levels to build back up. Seeing as your HCT pre-trt is naturally 49 it has only jumped up a little.....you still need to improve upon your ferritin and if you donate right away you will be back to square one even if you start up the iron supplementation again. What I see is you could look into lowering your overall testosterone dose as your free t is almost double the top end of the physiological range and your total is high so lowering your dose would be sensible. I know you feel great on the protocol you are on but you have lots of room to bring down your free t. Even if you decide to start supplementing the iron again and than start donating you will just be chasing your tale struggling to bring up your ferritin as you will be losing it every time you donate. When one has really low ferritin one needs to stop blood donations for awhile and start supplementing iron until they can get their ferritin in a healthy range. I would say lowering your testosterone dose and start iron supplement again before donating right away. [/QUOTE]
