[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 150284, member: 15832"] It would seem 4 weeks after stopping TRT and supplementing iron do to a recently discovered long term severe iron deficiency I have many indications my natural testosterone production is going strong. After 4 weeks of stopping TRT my joints were a mess, popping and clicking, brain fog and experiencing all the symptoms of low testosterone. Then last Wednesday (4.5 weeks) I noticed brain fog was lifting, than on Friday I noticed muscles were starting to get harder and joints are on the mend, now today my underarm body odor is horrendous and noticed my veins are starting to pop in my hands and arms. My iron levels are just barely in range and had to increase my iron dosage from 325mg->650mg daily. I know this level of recovery after only 4 weeks on iron supplements is nothing short of amazing, I'm starting to wonder if "all of theses symptoms" are related to iron deficiency and just need more time with normal iron levels. MCH and MCV also show a steady decline while on TRT eventually ending up abnormally low which indicates microcytic anemia. I became fatigued after 6 months on TRT and even more so after pushing past 500 ng/dL, at 829 ng/dL I wanted to sleep all day. Labs show more testosterone, less iron. I stopped TRT and iron increased. Still waiting on echocardiogram results.
