[QUOTE="Saul, post: 103105, member: 16541"] I agree with blackhawk. IMO, the donations depleted your ferritin. My ferritin was over 450 and it is now less than 50. Took 1.5 years of donations monthly and then every two months. For you it will be a balancing challenge to maintain ferritin levels high enough to have suitable iron stores while also maintaining hematocrit low enough to be in a proper range. Donations decrease ferritin and hematocrit. As said, a common issue faced by TRT members. Some people seem to supplement with iron or eat high iron food and/or lower TRT dose to find a balance. Iron from meat (heme) is more easily absorbed by the body. Acidic food and alcohol increase iron absorption and dairy/calcium reduce absorption. [/QUOTE]
