I've been on TRT for about two years now with one 5 month cycle of 500mg test and some limited anavar use a couple times and then a short month-long run of Primo 200mg/wk in October that I stopped because I didn't feel good.
I can't make sense of my CBC results.
Before TRT:
2 months post cycle (back to TRT):
And now my most recent bloods from 12/30/2021:
My PCP ran these labs when I told him I didn't feel well and he told me "everything looks good." Uhhh. OK.
So I donated another unit tonight so I don't die in my sleep, I guess, but I'm playing with fire as it relates to my ferritin which tests at 16 ng/dL in September.
Can anyone help me make sense of this last spike between September and December? I'm not sure how to proceed. Will continuing to supplement ferritin drive my RBC and Hb up even more? Would a month of Primo really cause that dramatic of a spike? Was it because I combined it with ferritin supplementation? Suggestions for next steps?
