[QUOTE="pyater, post: 213938, member: 37923"] Need some input and assistance from the forum. Have been on TRT since 2018. Tried most forms (Compounded creams, Androgel, shots) and have most recently been on: [LIST] [*]Testosterone Protocol – Since 2/25/21 [*]T-cypionate - 200mg/ml - 0.28ml Subcutaneous shots - every 2.5 days [/LIST] Latest Labs (Labs were on trough day): [LIST] [*]Latest Testosterone results – Total T : 461, Free T 30.2 [*]Estradiol Sensitive - 30.9 – up from 18.7 (2/3/21) [*]Sex Hormone Binding Globulin - 16.4 Low [*]DHT – 37 - DHT up since low last reading at 20 [*]DHEA – 262 [*]Prolactin – 12.23 [/LIST] [B]The more concerning labs are :[/B] [LIST] [*]Hematocrit Up to 50.8% High [*]Was 40.8 Low in June of 2018 (Pre-TRT) [*]Hemogloblin – 1.72 [*][B]RBC – 5.90 on the border line [/B] [*]Steady climb of RBC since started shots 4.83 (7/22/20) to 5.90 now [*]Pre-TRT Baseline 7/23/18 – 4.62 [/LIST] [B][U]Iron and Ferritin results [/U][/B] [LIST] [*]TIBC – 418 [*]Iron – 71 [*]Iron Saturation – 17 Low [*]Ferritin Serum – 97.3 [/LIST] I am a Defy patient and had an appointment yesterday. Dr. said I could donate but didn’t have to but was not worried that I would crash my iron or ferritin. So, I went to donate for the first time today. Once the needle was in, the tech was having trouble with the blood flow into the first bag but then got it started. They asked if I had hydrated well, which I had. Then a more senior tech came over about said there were issues and I was only able to donate half a donation and she mentioned that the smaller bag that they test flow in or whatever was already clotted. Long story short I am concerned about this. Any others with high Hemoglobin and RBC have these issues? I know once Hemoglobin gets too high they will not let you donate. Any suggestions? I am concerned. I do high hypertension which is treated with medicine. [/QUOTE]
