Im on 100 mg/wk trt now, been for 11 years since my heart attack. Started out needing to have a phlebotomy every 4 weeks for the first 2 years, but gradually for some reason I don't need it anymore. I haven't changed anything that I do other than I stopped taking a multivitamin that has iron in it. I now take a senior's multi that has no iron.
I have been on a pattern the last 5 years or so where I go in once every 2 months to get my hemoglobin checked. Hematologist wants it at around 15. Sometimes I don't even need a phlebotomy because it is right around 15. I just had a small phlebotomy, only 250 ml, because my hemoglobin was only up to 15.4. Prior to that I went 4 months without getting one. I have been doing more cardio than ever, maybe that has had an effect? I wish I knew what has caused my hemoglobin not to elevate like it did in the past. Im glad things have changed!
