- my testosterone suppressors have been slowly wearing off over the last few years, and i doubled them over the summer last year, only to have to retreat because the doctors wouldn't overprescribe.
- my estradiol source switched to generic a few months ago.
together, these two changes have led to decreases in serum estrogen, which have increased my hepcidin levels. as such, i'm experiencing rapid depletion of my iron stores as my estrogen levels decrease.
