[QUOTE="madman, post: 141211, member: 13851"] You have been posting on here since Oct 2018 and you were dead set on the 200 mg/week protocol when in fact you finally mentioned you have low SHBG and many of the members had given you sound advice to lower your dose and move to more frequent injections. You stated it was hard convincing your doctor to start twice weekly (every 3.5 days) when in fact injecting more frequently as in daily or EOD would be the most effective in your situation seeing as your SHBG is low 16-19 nmol/L. What is your exact protocol as of now.....still once weekly injections? Most importantly where does your TT/FT and e2 levels sit on such protocol as you posted no lab work.....let alone protocol you are on when you started this thread. When starting trt or anytime T dose is increased due to tweaking ones protocol hemoglobin/hematocrit levels will increase within the first month and can take 9-12 months to reach peak levels.....unfortunately most jump on the too frequent blood donation band wagon only to end up with the....opps I crashed my iron/ferritin! You donated 5 times in 6 months.....what did you expect as regardless of iron supplementation your levels could never recover that fast. If anything when donating no more than 3 times/year as in every 4 months otherwise your ferritin/iron will be constantly low. Although elevated supra-physiological peaks can increase ones H/H.....overall T levels will also have an impact. Aside from supra-physiological peaks from higher doses of T injected less frequently as in once weekly or twice weekly.....running too high TT/FT levels regardless of injection frequency can cause elevated H/H. Before worrying about your H/H being elevated you need to post your protocol/lab work so we can see where your TT/FT levels sit on such protocol and if anything you need to look into injecting daily or EOD due to your low SHBG before you state [B]"On a side note but related I am strongly considering HCG monotherapy at this moment [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]since the low iron symptoms make TRT nearly useless"[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Is it truly the low iron symptoms or your piss poor protocol (for one with low SHBG) that make TRT nearly useless.....I would say the latter![/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
