I think its likely that could be the cause. I dont know the mechanism of action that would be responsible though.
Like vikingbro said, aas is known to increase rbc production so your hematocrit level will rise. With that is also going to come iron and percent sat as well.

This was after 6 weeks of
10mg mk677 /day
20mg rad140 /day
20mg ostarine/day
Per the pic doesnt look like my hct or rbc are elevated...nor the rest of my iron levels. Just the ferritin...which is why I posted

Im gonna take a stab in the dark here as my physiology knowledge is only like sophomore level... so i may be wrong.
Ferretin is a protein that stores iron in the cells. When the body recieves a signal it needs to produce more red blood cells it will in turn signal to release ferritin. Ferritin will bind with transferin and be bussed to where rbcs are made, typically the spleen. Once there, iron is used in erythropoiesis. Boom, red blood cells!
In your case, taking aas is the whats causing the body to signal for more rbcs and subsequent rise in ferritin. If you continue using whatever you are using your hematocrit level will likely go up in the near future.
Just curious. What are you using? And where about in that cycle are you at the moment?

Few things I found -
1. just searching around the web for I am seeing some mention here and there of high ferritin levels associated with various doctor prescribed steriods. So I would guess it's not a reach to say AAS might cause elevated ferritin.
2. hemacromatosis comes up often with any mention of high ferritin. So reading up on Hemacromatosis (body stores too much iron basically). One of the natural remedys often mentioned is...
3. Turmeric - Turmeric can lower ferritin by chelating iron from the body. Of course as many of you already know it has many other benefits. But I didn't know it helped with iron.
Thought it was interesting and worth posting.
