[QUOTE="CSI007, post: 35117, member: 13062"] Thanks for the very detailed history. Lots of great info I can use going forward for sure. Right now my concern about testing is when (from my other thread). I want to know if this therapy IS working or not. If it's not doing much good (if any) then I would obviously stop or begin to supplement exogenous T. When I first started this, I was certainly hoping to be able to "correct" what is going on without the need for pharmaceuticals. But I feel as time goes on I may be dealing with more and more problems (from low T, elevated BG, I think my T has been low for some time and so has my E2 - Over the past 15 years I have developed significant floaters in both eyes with no real reason for this to be occurring) and want to get things moving in the right direction. And of course, my wife has been very understanding but I am sure that all of the other "sudden" ED problems that have occurred in the past 6 to 8 months are weighing heavy on her as well. Earlier last year, the Ed issue was like once a month I would have a soft erection and that manifested into beginning to lose some feeling and strange feeling orgasms and then by late last year full blown ED where I can rarely get and keep and erection. I am at the point now that if I need to be on a life time therapy I will do it BUT if there is still some hope that this can be corrected I will certainly want to give that a try first! Since I began using the thyroid supplements I have seen some improvements in my well being, energy level, brain fog lifted mostly and the typical hypothyroid issues like constipation (It was terrible for a long time - I attributed it to the LC diet but it was going on well before I started it) I think the introduction of the cytomel (T3) has probably helped a little more and with the introduction of the HCG my energy levels have crept up even a little further. I can tell you I was turning into a couch potato - falling asleep in the mid afternoon or even right after dinner etc. That is not who I was. In the ED department. I never really had issues with morning wood even through all of this crap the past few months. But as the day progresses things get worse down there. Since I started the HCG, I do note that my libido has increased a little bit. One day last week though right after a shot it was insane! It lasted through the next day then faded. Since then I have taken another shot and did not notice that kind of affect again. :( I was thinking that maybe I injected into a blood vessel or something. My semen appears to be thinning out but my erection hardness is still not there and keeping them is still a struggle. From what I read, this can take weeks to months to correct itself - What has been your experience (if you had these same kinds of issues)? Orgasms are starting to feel more normal once again which is good news it just takes so long to reach it. After 2 or 3 minutes of sex the initial sensations of pleasure begin to disappear because of the sensation loss. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with me. [/QUOTE]
