[QUOTE="Esq, post: 84273, member: 15250"] I just realized it's been almost 2 months since I've posted here, and thought an update was in order. To summarize where I am now, I stopped taking the clomid in mid-July, and then soon after was diagnosed with mild- to moderate sleep apnea. I decided to give everything a few months to (1) allow my levels to settle after the clomid and (2) give the CPAP machine a chance to see if I started to feel any better, and then re-evalute my options. . I've now been on the CPAP for two months and don't feel even remotely better. My AHI numbers are good and I'm sleeping fine, but my symptoms persist. My sleep doctor is content that the CPAP is controlling my apnea, but is perplexed as to why I don't feel any better. He even asked whether I have considered getting my hormones tested because he thinks the symptoms could be a low T issue. I told him I've been working on that on a parallel path. . I had my most recent Defy labs done last week, and am pretty surprised by the numbers. These labs were done 82 days after my last dose of clomid. . Testosterone, Serum: 550 ng/dL (range 264-916) Testosterone, Free (Direct): 15.1 (range 8.7-25.1) Estradiol (Sensitive): 28.1 (range 8.0-35.0) LH: 5.6 mIU/mL (1.7-8.6) . For comparion's sake, in September 2015, before any treatment, total T was 783 and free was 20.6. In early 2017, pre-clomid, total T was 702 and free was 17.5. Now, I'm at 550 total T and 15.1 free. In two years, my total T has gone from 783 to 550, and my free from 20.6 to 15.1. . My next consult with Dr. Saya is next week, and after seeing these numbers (and the fact that the CPAP isn't alleviating my symptoms), I'm leaning heavily towards giving TRT a go. My numbers seem to be in a constant state of decline, and I'm pretty comfortable that I've exhausted other options. . Am I missing anything? [/QUOTE]
