Morning wood but no daytime wood. Does this shed any light on what's going on with me?

It is the E2!!! that happens to me when I am "close" but not quite there with my E2.. it could be E2 slightly higher or slightly lower than what you need.
 
I am also in the same situation while on trt.
morning wood. than no wood on daytime, regardless of state of mind, I mean it, it is not psycological, I am not on stress at all.
prescribed 2pump androgel/day 16.2mg
results :
TESTOSTERONE 5.19 ( 2.50 - 8.40 ) ng/ml
free testo 11 pg/mL (6.1-25.7)
estradiol 29 pg/mLl (9-62)
why?
please anybody
You levels are simply not high enough. Try switching to cream instead of gel. You will achieve much higher levels.
 
No wonder some criticize ExcelMale.com. The anti-estrogen (estradiol) crowd is big here despite all my efforts to educate all of you for the past 10 years. I would have to spend hundreds of hours to reinforce all my last reviews of estradiol and sexual function and that would not stop this craze.

If you have morning wood but can't get hard during the day, it's a mental (performance anxiety, lack of sexual attraction, etc) issue. Your body is telling you that your plumbing is working. No estradiol BS!

In my experience there are physical influences that can make daytime sexual function great or terrible, independent of having working "plumbing". For example, during a period in which I had undetectable estradiol, erection quality was good, either day or night, but sexual desire was completely absent. Then I rebounded into high estradiol territory, and daytime erections weakened, orgasms became difficult to achieve, etc. So while I don't discount mental factors, I think it's not reasonable to make the blanket statement that problems with daytime function are all in our heads.
 
I live that E roller coaster, my Free E doubles to over the lab range at 12hrs post injection even with Anastrozole and 16mg/D Cyp.
E is all relative, as it were. Letting it go unrestrained is lunacy.

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.
