[QUOTE="madman, post: 159738, member: 13851"] Iron deficiency can easily be a cause of such issues! Regarding your protocol/labs. What stands out to me here is you started trt some time in July.....100 mg/week protocol. Not to long after you decided either on your own (most likely scenario) or requested by your treating doctor (highly unlikely) to switch from the 100 mg/week protocol to 50 mg every 3.5 days. Just so you understand when starting trt or anytime T dose is increased or injection frequency increased when using the same weekly T dose but broken up using more frequent injections your testosterone levels will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels stabilize at 6 weeks and lab work needs to be done at 6 or 8 weeks to see where said dose of T puts your TT/FT/E2 levels......let alone how it effects overall health markers which will include hemoglobin/hematocrit. During this time your protocol needs to be consistent.....meaning same dose/injection frequency for 6-8 weeks.....followed by blood work. Seeing as you started trt in July on 100 mg/week and switched over to 50 mg every 3.5 days some time in August you most likely were not on the 100 mg/week protocol for a full 6 weeks.....let alone the big kicker here is not only did you switch over to the newer protocol of 50 mg every 3.5 days sometime in August.....but more importantly your blood work was done on August 21.....so there is no way you were on the 50 mg every 3.5 days for a full 6 weeks! Your hormones were still in FLUX as you had not allowed enough time (6 full weeks on new protocol- same overall weekly T dose but now 50 mg every 3.5 days ) because your blood work was done on August 21. Looking over your labs I can tell you that not only are your FT levels higher than you think but most importantly we truly have no idea where your TT/FT/E2 levels sit on your recent protocol because you did not allow blood levels to stabilize on the new protocol before getting blood work done. Were these labs done at trough and most likely your TT/FT levels will be higher once blood levels stabilize at 6 weeks as your lab results do not give an accurate picture due to you starting the new protocol in August and having blood work done on August 21.....you did not wait 6 weeks for blood levels to stabilize.
