After over a year on TRT, still no morning wood. Is this normal?

[JCUSN]

My libido has fluctuated greatly since I began this journey on TRT. However, I see many people mention morning wood returning. For me, I have no experienced this at all ever since I started, nor did I before I started for a long time.

Is this just something that varies from man to man, or should proper hormone levels be making me experience morning wood?

I miss the days waking up like that from my youth.

More important than morning erections - what is your erectile function when you want to get down to business?

The entire question of erectile function is far more complex than simply balanced hormones. Restoration of morning wood does happen for some guys with nothing more than a standard TRT protocol. Anecdotal reports seem to indicate they are a minority.

Erections and libido have been somewhat intermittent. Some days I’m raging horny and able to get it up on demand, other days I’m not interested in sex at all, and struggle with getting or keeping an erection.

Morining erections not being present doesn't mean that you aren't having them during the night. I wake frequently during the night and usually wake with an erection. The erections may not be there upon awakening. They usually are, but not always. Not a big deal when you have them durning sleep, as long as you do.

How old are you? Are you on any other meds? Your intermittent sex drive is pretty normal for most men. Also makes a difference what partners are available. I' Married, and often sex is the last thing on my mind and my wife is wearing something or gives me some kind of look and, voila, here it is. Opportunity can make a huge difference. Gene's question is the most relevant, but let's no forget that an available attractive partner is about the most potent aphrodisiac there is.

I usually get morning wood because I have to urinate.

I can tell when my T is to low by my morning erections, also if it gets way to high.

I’m 34. No other meds at all besides Nexium daily, but no sexual side effects from that.

And I have plenty of opportunity daily with my girlfriend. She’s a sexaholic lol.

If your SHBG levels are low your E2 score could be deceiving do to the high free hormones low SHBG men seem to have plenty of which would also mean your free E2 could be high even when E2 levels look normal. This is why a complete set of labs are important.

I've been on TRT for 10.5 months and libido and erections are improving more slowly than on average probably do to my low SHBG. Even 10.5 month in muscles are still developing slowly and am really starting to notice a new level of hardness lately.

This could be your answer. If your girlfriend wants sex more than you, you may believe you have a problem. This may not be true, she may simply want it more often than you can provide. If your sex drive and hers were the same, would you be as concerned? If you and she have been together for a while, years for example, you would both know that there are peaks and valleys in a sexual relationship due to a myriad of factors. If the relationship is fairly new , less than a year or so, then you may be making a problem where there is none.

Npt (nocturnal penile tumescence) happens during REM (rapid eye movement) stage when you are dreaming.

If you wake up during or just after REM stage you will usually be erect unless one had underlying health issues (poor endothelial/vascular health ,NO dysfunction, low t, nerve damage, imbalance e2).

If you were in a lighter stage of sleep upon awakening you may not be erect.

If you find that you do not get deep restful sleep than you may be experiencing less REM cycles and it can effect ones erections.

One way to test at home if you are experiencing erections during the night is to buy a strip of postage stamps. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3461589/figure/F1/

Your estradiol may be too high. It’s within normal range, but if you are estradiol sensistive like I am, your morning wood and best sexual performance may be at an estradiol level of 20-25 like me. If I’m close to or at 30, my sex drive, morning wood and everything goes down

I am on trt for almost two years morning wood don’t happen Unless I supplement cialis. Or a good honeymoon period which is basically when I change protocol. Changing dose from time to time bring this temporarily honeymoon period

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Low dose Cialis ( or Viagra if you can’t tolerate Cialis) every night, 3000 mg per day of Citrulline, avoiding daily masturbation and porn consumption, and 500 IU hCG twice per week along with TRT can keep your morning wood from being erratic.

 

[M.J]

first thing i Noticed after trt is my guy getting thicker, feels like those pockets are filled with testosterone, Seems swelling not like before.
Still struggling to get morning wood I will do what Nelson said daily with workout and see how it goes.
