First of all thank you so much for your response even something so simple sometimes become a huge bubble for me to graps air through my day.
Did the endo who ordered the test for levels of BPA mention anything about how the elimination half-life of BPA might effect the test results?
No, but I can ask him in next session
It looks like quite a bit of time had passed between your exposure and the time you had blood drawn for the test.
That is correct it seems that the source is not present anymore whatever it was and it can all be traced back to april-may, those where the months where I missued the same retainers for 2 months while drinking acidic beverages, it was a big stupid mistake I know. This is only a suppossition of one of the 2 endos I visited.
Should there still be elevated levels assuming you were transiently exposed to what is considered a toxic level?
That I don’t know, I’ve read from the daily BPA intake, body discards 50% and the other 50% is metabolized / stored in fat tissue, don’t know for much long, considering BPA as the main culprit I think I could say I had the toxic exposure daily during the period of roughly 2 months.
As of now, my BPA in urine is 1000 times below the safe range so the certain thing is that I am not exposed anymore (this is in fact a very good thing actually for the recovery process even if I don’t know it is possible) but I don’t know for certain if there’s still toxic levels of BPA stored my body.
I don’t know much about the endocrine disrupting effects of BPAs except that they generally have estrogenic activity.
Correct it’s highly estrogenic like a 70% downgraded version of estradiol. Moreso there are studies showing how BPA downregulates 5ar types 1,2,3 (the whole set) in the same % as fin, dut accutane does.

Here is another showing the effects on sperm count aswell as hypothalamaus

It certainly doesn’t sound like cialis is a fix
Correct but one of the endos said I am fine and to give it a try. But I know, what’s the point of getting hard if I have no senses down there. It would be same as masturbation as it is now only that it will always be available instead of needed big time to get it up
or that what you are describing are complications from Covid.
I know, both endos called bullshit on this one, one told me in mices it is shown that covid attack testes and thalamus but mice testes defensive mechanism is different from humans and moreso the only studies they have of covid fucking up human testes is when the patients where in ICU near dying. People that have a transient flu shouldn’t be affected, it makes no sense.
However GP stills thinks that I had very bad luck. I will demand her to prove that and to appoint me more tests and to stop me from working. If she disagrees I will quit. I can’t go on like this. I can’t go through 8h forced work load knowing there’s something really off. I just don’t have the willpower to put me into that routine.
I still don’t know how to address this, it will take me big time and to be humble with myself
