CPAP and sex life?

Hi. Just diagnosed with Moderate Sleep Apnea. How's this going to interfere with my sex life?!!! Wearing a machine to bed???? Thanks Viv

How funny did you try on the cpap ... Oh my I went last night for mine I tell you one thing I feel like a new person today..but I don't think there will be any sex LOL I think it would have to be before the machine is turned on LMAO ... I have mine set at 13 I was wondering if that is high or not for someone who is going to have WLS? Hope you have a great sex life with your C-PaP good luck Shelly

Well, 13 may be high, but I don't consider it high. Especially since I'm at 16.5.

Viv, Does your husband usually have sex with you while you sleep? ROFL! Hasn't impacted my sex life at all! Please, I could have hoses all over the bed he'd still find his way over there, lol. To be honest, we have three little kids, so it's usually right before bed, I'm too tired otherwise, so the CPAP has no impact. If he does want romance in the middle of the night, he snuggles up, and when I get the hint I just take off the mask and snuggle up too, etc. If I doze off afterward, I usually wake up in a half hour, roll over and put the mask right back on. I know a lot of people hate the mask, but it's better than dying! Apnea can kill you. Besides, I slept sooooooooooo badly before. I would think it would only affect cuddling while sleeping if that's how you always sleep. I can't sleep that way so it's no biggie to me. After weight loss surgery, when you feel like you might not need the CPAP anymore, get another sleep study done, to be sure.

Well, since my hubby never woke me in the middle of the night before, it hasn't been that much impact! But I did like to snuggle up with him till we were almost asleep, and then we would both turn over the other way. Now, we snuggle, he turns, I put on my contraption and then turn over. It really hasn't been that big of a deal. I do have a friend whose husband is on one, and she says they do it with the mask on! I think that's a little creepy. But I guess whatever works for you! Really, it's not that big of a deal, as long as you take care of romance before you're all hooked up. Eryn

No impact here. Romance what's that? I think a snowball has a better chance in Hell than I do of my wife waking me up to mess around. Only thing my wife wakes me up for is to ask me if I heard some noise.
