[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 192358, member: 38109"] I've had transient problems like this while on TRT and I could rarely establish a straightforward causal connection to what the easily-measured hormones were doing at the time. I'm pretty sure there's a connection between kisspeptin and erections, based on comments in the literature and on personal experience. Unfortunately, at this time we can't just run over to Quest or LabCorp to test our levels. And there's still uncertainty about how much TRT affects kisspeptin. There has to be significant suppression at the hypothalamus, but I am not sure about the broader effects. In the end it's probably about hormonal balance. Having low testosterone is a significant destabilizer of male sexual function. TRT is a decent remedy, but the resulting HPTA shutdown has destabilizing effects of its own. I know you're looking for more specific advice, but if your experience is like mine then there's a chance these issues will simply come and go no matter what you do—assuming you're limited to tweaking the basics: testosterone, estradiol, prolactin and the thyroid hormones.
