[QUOTE="bc0116, post: 172739, member: 22966"] Hey guys, First, love this forum and all the great content on here. My wife and I have been dealing with a very personal issue (like a lot of men) of trying to tackle ED/mental impotence and we are really trying to get to the root cause and work through it. Symptoms pre-TRT were initially low libido, and no matter what I do/my wife does, the gear just wasn't working. I have faced the issue where I get it up, but then in mid-sex session I just lose the erection. I'm now 37, got on TRT amongst other recommended supplements by my Doc in Feb 2018. Symptoms now are at high libido, but there is that dreaded mental block of being able to perform and maintain erection. It's to the point where when we have time together, we just "try." Sometimes gear will work, sometimes it won't. It's to the point where my wife just says if I'm up, let her know, and it's completely humiliating if gear doesn't work on-demand. I've tried sildenafil and like most, it'll work with good planning, but to me that's just a band-aid and is never guaranteed with life's daily tasks. I have not tried Cialis or any other PDE-5 inhibitor. I've been open to those, but I don't like having to rely on one particular extreme drug for "just incase". I wake up often with raging/very hard morning woods and can usually get it up mid-day. Weird thing is, I'll have it, then if I initiate sex, there's no telling if it'll go limp at any point which increases my anxiety for not wanting to create emotional turmoil between us. [B]Feb 2018 initial blood results with no medications:[/B] [ATTACH=full]9310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]9311[/ATTACH] [B]Aug 2019 Blood results (I also got recent blood work done as a bi-annual but no changes in Rx at all).[/B] [ATTACH=full]9312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]9313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]9314[/ATTACH] My Doc currently has me on: 1.2mg (240mg) of Test-cyp -- injecting 1x per week 100mg DHEA 100mg Pregnenolone 120mg Thyroid (60mg 2x per day) but lately I've been doing 60mg 1x per day to see if that has any effect 5,000 mcg Vitamin B-12 I've noticed my libido is up (I want sex all the time), but still have issues getting it up on-demand. I normally am roughly 195-200 lbs, 10-12% body fat prior to TRT and have been lean for years. On TRT and the other supplements, I hover around 205-209 and have noticed a bit of water retention but is not entirely bothersome.

I value quality family and personal time, but when it comes to bedroom time with wifey, it's a huge soft spot and is a gamble. Thanks for your time and any recommendations. [/QUOTE]
