How many phlebotomy’s have you done? I only had to go 2 to get me to 54. I started at 62.6 after the first phlebotomy I dropped to 55.6 and then after the second one I dropped to 54.6 or close to, my hematologist said bring on trt and hematocrit at 54 is okay but my last lab was 50.4. Once I got it back in range it has stayed right on track for the last 8 months. I’m only doing 100 mg of test every 5 days now and it doesn’t go up. Hang in there you will get there

Your ferritin is doing good, just stay on top of it. At one point mine got down to 19. Kind of takes the wind out out of your sails.Originally Posted by lovbyts

Ferritin is weird. On my last lab mine was 305 but my hematocrit was 50.4 and hemoglobin was 16.4. My hematologist never measured it back when I was doing my phlebotomies. My hematologist says as long as my hematocrit stays 54 or lower it’s okay. I like to keep it at or below 52. My trt dose is 100 mg every 4 days and I been staying right around 50. It’s been as low as 47 and the highest is 50.5 but I’m not cycling anymore. I am sticking strictly to just trt moving forward

Are you using any estrogen blockers or anything along with your TRT

No my dose is only 100 mg every 5 to 7 days. Do not need one. My last lab came back with my estro less then 15 which is to low
