All,
I react very badly to injectable T (56 hematocrit @ 100 mg split 3x per week SubQ). My ferritin suffers greatly here and sits in the 20's to low 30's. I want it to be above 70. Testosterone have given me a severe case of periodic limb movement disorder due to low dopamine resulting (I...
An update. I got on Kyzatrex and although I don't know its effects on ferritin I can confirm that it causes a HUGE increase in testosterone.
I was prescribed 4x 200mg (maximum dose) to be taken 2 times per day.
The peak (4 hours) after the first dose but before the second sent me to 2640...
The hills and valley of oral T vs a steady state suppose to stop blood thickening and the process begin altered RBC production that causes low ferretin... I'm theory...
You are correct. 55 is a high limit for me based on research. I have hit 57 in the past. Key to me is ferratin level maintenance and dropping testosterone levels at night.
I am thinking that a low daily dose of Enclomiphene may be able to "break through" oral T because of the low trough...
If you have ever been on T injections than based on research you will have a more or less permanently increased baseline hematocrit. It takes at least a year of no exogenous T to revert to your earlier baseline
For me, anything 53 or below I think is totally fine.
What lab values are you getting and what is your ferritin holding at?
Yep, when I saw a lab of 156 ferretin that was incidently taken in years prior to TRT compared to 12, I knew .
I am currently on Natesto and while it works it is ultimately insufficient w/ a peak testosterone only around 400. I have covered studies on gels and pill options and it appears that pills are a very good approach with the softest effect on hematocrit. There is some debate in the literature and...
