Does anyone notice that when they are outside of their window for E2 that the time to get an erection is longer? When everything is balanced I feel like I can get an erection very quickly when it isnt, it seems to take longer. Anyone else notice this?
 
Are you basing this on lab references for E2, or strictly on how you feel? In other words, you realize, based on lab work, that your E2 is out of range, or do you have a slower response time and then wonder if the E2 values are out of whack?

I am am terrible at pinpointing E2 by symptoms alone and can convince myself of anything; I have come to rely heavily on lab results.
 
Nope, not based on numbers. Just as things fluctuate, sometimes I have rock hard quick erections, then other times they are slower(still firm) but take a bit more effort to get. Just wondering if anyone has this happen ever.

So, you're achieving erections, "still firm", but not quite as quickly. Why assume it's E2? Fatigue, presence or absence of alcohol, temperature, all of these things - and more - impact sexual response. All of us on TRT can be obsessive, but we do ourselves no favours when we stress everything.

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.
