[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 264073, member: 15832"] Ferritin is low. ^^^. I had the same problem years ago, started TRT, lost the benefits, super fatigued. A private endocrinologist told me during a consultation that my MCV 80 right at the lower limit, which was indicating low iron. Three months later things went from bad to worse. My MCH was low, MCHC right at the limit, MCV low, RDW high and ferritin 24 and the size of the red blood cells was not carrying enough oxygen, or more to the point iron. I fully expect your hemoglobin to be normal, which would point to [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5986027/']iron deficiency without anemia[/URL]. Now that you need iron supplements, this will increase your hematocrit, so TRT dosing may need lowering. Thyroid can’t function optimally with low iron, conversion to free thyroid hormones will be impaired. Your HCT is perfectly healthy as of right now. Higher HCT is one of the many health benefits of TRT. My HCT is 51%, none of my doctor are worried. Go to a different lab company with a 52% cutoff and you’re normal. The lab ranges for hematocrit are arbitrarily set. [/QUOTE]
