[QUOTE="ReillyJ, post: 158842, member: 17394"] *Deep breath* My 70 y/o husband started TRT 3 years ago. He was on 100 mg a week with "OK" results so doctor bumped it to 150/week early this year. On advice of this wonderful forum (and because he tends toward high SHBG) we dropped from 3x a week injecting to 2x and went conservative at 140/week. He did OK and then we decided to try the 150/wk and his bloodwork went high in addition to his E2 which was around 41.0 and on the advice of this forum we decided not to add in an AI but just back down to 140/week again. This was in April 2019. In addition, he was dx'd with very severe sleep apnea (65 episodes an hour) and started therapy in May, he has been pretty successful. Just got BW on the 140mg/week and were shocked at the results and yes this was in a trough a couple hours before his next shot (Doc didn't test SHGB so nothing i can do about that) Testosterone, Total: [B]1228 ng/dL[/B] range: 250 - 1100 ng/dL Free Testosterone [B]146.4 pg/mL[/B] range: 30.0 - 135.0 pg/mL Like...[B]what the heck????[/B] (his PSA, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit are good) but i am wondering if this could possibly be due somewhat to his apnea being treated?? As far as dosing, doctor advised us to go back down to 100 mg/week. Since this is so high in a trough (and yes he's not feeling that great, i am wondering how high his E2) should i skip the next dose which is Tuesday morning or just drop down to 100 mg/week again? I know it takes 6 weeks. I feel so bad for him like i did something wrong in helping him. Appreciate so much this forum and any help Susie [/QUOTE]
