[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 97027, member: 13512"] Maybe Doctor Saya can shed some light. I am so depressed after checking my latest blood work. I am thinking about quitting TRT (which would be devastating since it has made me feel good again after years feeling miserable). My current protocol is: 90 mg testosterone cypionate 2 x week 500IU HCG 2 x week 50IU FSH 2 x week 0.25mg anastrozole E3D Total testosterone 947 (264-916) Free testosterone 33.1 (8.7-25.1) SHBG 23.6 (16.5-55.9) Estradiol sensitive 27.2 (8-35) Up to here everything is fine. The bad part is my iron panel. Before someone says i have hematochromatosis I haven’t tested before but my iron panel before TRT was normal. Serum iron 348 (38-169) Iron saturation 85 (15-55) TIBC 410 (250-450) UIBC 62 (111-343) Ferritin 30 (30-400) I was fasting. Not supplementing iron. No lab error i think given my serum iron has been slowly increasing since TRT. I am worried these levels can be dangerous and actually messing up with organs (creatinine slightly high and blood glucose too and they were normal before). HCT high as wel 53.5. Before donating 1.5 month ago it was 52.5. So i am pretty sure TRT + donating blood is messing with my iron big time. Not sure what to do. I already tried a lower testosterone dosage and that didnt help much with HCT. I am so depressed cannot even tell you guys. I am feeling so great! But i dont think i can continue with these iron levels. Again they were normal before TRT. I suspect this is what is called iron avidity and given TRT requires me to donate blood and probably TRT by itself also lower ferritin my body is not being able to handle things and is going nuts.
