Dropped HCG. Ride it out or re-add?

Long story short. I have been a long time viewer of this forum and need some advice.

I have been on TRT for over 3 years.

40mg of Testosterone EOD with 100iu of HCG daily.

I've been having anxiety and constant sore/clicking joints and decided to try dropping the HCG as I have zero need for fertility and was getting tired of every day HCG injections.

It's been 5 days since dropping the HCG and body/joints feel much better but I have lost sensitivity and ability to maintain a good erection. Should I give this time to adjust or should I restart the HCG as I do not want any ED/sensitivity issues. I have never had any ED issues before.

Thanks

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.
