[QUOTE="Flexapr, post: 72036, member: 15766"] [b]Elevated RBCs, Hemoglobin, & Hematocrit on TRT? You likely have OSA ( obstructive sleep apnea).[/b] Gang, read my reply twice and spread the word. I met with one of the best TRT docs in the USA in May 2016 and just Skyped with him last week again. My RBCs (6.04), Hemoglobin (HGB was 17.5), & Hematocrit (HCT was 52.2%) were high after just 14 weeks of 125 mg of Testosterone Enanthate per week. He asked me why I was taking four weeks off from TRT and I explained that I was because of my aforementioned blood elevations. (Here's the kicker, and I believe it applies to most if not all of you.)

You're supposed to be recuperating and growing while sleeping, and your OSA is ruining your R.E.M. sleep and elevating your values." 😴💤 He diagnosed me JUST by looking at those three elevated values, nothing else. My doc ALWAYS wears a 10-year old TAP-3 dental (mandibular) appliance when sleeping.
