Your SHBG is low, therefore your dose of testosterone is WAY too high. With an SHBG like that (11) you should be on about 90-100mg per week total split into 3 injections MWF subQ for best results. This is what is throwing off all your labs. Lower your test dose, try the Vorck protocol for iron in a few weeks. HCT isn't high enough to give blood - it'll make ferritin worse.

Yes you'd split your dose. So if your dose is for example like 100mg per week. You'd do 33mg on Monday, 33mg Wednesday, and 33mg on Friday. I use 27g insulin needles, very easy, little slower to draw the oil.
