Can't find smoking gun

I just stumbled on a post over at Dr. Crisler's forum and it's the first time I see a guy who has/is experiencing literally the same exact things that are happening to me, in the same way. I'll keep it at a very high level...

Started TRT 5 or 6 years ago because I started to notice libido and mild ED issues.
I think (can't really remember) there was an initial positive result.
Whatever initial positive result there was wasn't good enough because I started using Viagra.
Ok fine, the test was making me feel great and I looked better than ever, so I'll live with Viagra.
Fast forward to somewhere between 1 and 2 years ago and Viagra doesn't always work anymore.
Around this same time I started HCG because I wanted my testicles back.
Fast forward to today and Viagra does nothing 9 out of 10 times. When it does work, the erection either goes away after 2 mins or I can't have an orgasm because I have no sensitivity.

I can't help but notice the coincidence in time frame where things got really bad only after I started HCG. Is HCG the problem? Is it E2? Given the above, and knowing nothing else, what would be your first instinct?

Here is the other thread if you're interested:

Have you used or have you ever tried a nitric oxide stack, along with daily Cialis. I really like the health benefits of both, you didn't post your age but as men get older I believe both are beneficial for good health.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
