TRT question

hey bro, i'll be looking out for your post so we can get to the bottom of things... being in the 800's is excellent and you definitely do not need an increase in dosing...
 
My biggest complaint is my energy level. I wonder if it's because of my sleep apnea. I have a sleep study schedule for next week. 👍

LOL, yeah sleep apnea can mess you up. Sucks to have to wear a fucking mask every night. It's ok as long as it works.
 
Try Google...trt and oas

It can be a vicious circle
Sleep apnea and trt is complicated
Sleep apnea can cause low test
Trt can make sleep apnea worse

Normally you would use your sleep apnea treatment for 6-12 months to see if your serum testosterone level increases before starting trt

op...please check your units of measurement
If your results are really in ng/dL (not pg/ml) .... you are upper range

you are using pg/ml...if in fact that is the correct unit.... 15 pg/ml...it's extremely low
normal reference range would be 46-224 pg/ml...median average is around 100-120...

My test results shows free test 15 pg/ml not ng/dl. Is it possible that it's a misprint?

Right if it was ng/dL he'd be G2G... but I am confused because his results are in pg/mL nor ng/dL... 15 pg/mL is so low...... Like buen said..

Just caught my eye that it was low, wanted to confirm.

SHBG then??

SHBG wasn't included in my test. I'm going to ask my doctor about it. I'm a little worried now.😬

Being diagnosed with sleep apnea and getting a cpap was a game changer for me and my wife. We both get great sleep now that my snoring is over. I actually feel refreshed when I wake up. The mask took less than a week to get used to.

Sleep deprivation can seriously fuck you up, when I finally went for my sleep study (Hyper vigilance from PTSD) my stats were so bad, that in 3 nights, the longest I was in REM sleep was 1 time for 3 minutes.

They were amazed I was even alive having dealt with this for many many years. So get your sleep problem dealt with, you'll be surprised how much better you'll feel.

For me was drugs, white noise generator and earplugs, but it works and I'm much better for it.

Yeah I heard some people can't deal with the cpap, others don't have any problems with it. I'm glad it worked for you. Hopefully it'll work for me too.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well. I can't wait to get this problem taken care of.
