So for the last few years I have been on TRT dose of 125 a week only.
My RBC HGB and HTC was always high.
I was donating blood every 56 days for the last 2.5 years and my HGB was always in high 16 or 17 and HTC was in 52% +
Just had my yearly checkup and blood test and I was surprised that I am Iron deficient now and CBC came very low. I didn’t change anything, as a matter of fact I increased test to 400 a week to get ready for the summer vacation
RBC – 5.72 (range 4.10-5.70)
HGB – 13 (range 13-17)
HTC – 43.4 (range 39-51)
Platelets -234
MCV – 76fl (range 80-100) which is low
Iron – 54 (range 50-212)
TIBC – 463 (range 228-428) High
Ferritin – 5 (range 22-365) this is very low.
So I am not anemic yet, but if I continue I will be.
Everything else on blood test is perfect.
Not sure why suddenly everything dropped so low, all I changed in my diet is drinking Chamomile tea with honey every night and taking liver care.
