[QUOTE="S1W, post: 191790, member: 16947"] Sure - feel free to ask as many questions as you like. I do not know the angle, though as I mentioned it was not extreme. It was more of a curve like a banana, and not even as pronounced as that. However, it was definitely noticeable. The pain was significant too. I was late 30s when this happened. I'm fairly certain I injured myself having sex with my wife with a very poor erection. Now early 40s. My FT level now is not indicative of where it has been since I began TRT...just got a strange set of labs lol and I'm likely due for a protocol adjustment. To answer your question though, it was usually in the upper 20s using Labcorp (range 6.8-21.5). TruT calculation around the same range. Using TruT numbers, I have noticed that both libido and erectile function decrease once my FT numbers get below low 20s. And I've never had FT higher than low 30s. Mid 20s to low 30s seems optimal for me...for now at least. I think the addition of daily Cialis was a very key part of this healing process. TRT alone helped, but when I added daily Cialis is when I really started to notice a difference. I started out on 2.5mg day. Now using 5mg day. FWIW, I do notice that the effectiveness of Cialis seems to wane throughout the day and I have even considered asking my doctor if I could go to 5mg AM and PM. But still, Cialis + testosterone in my system seems to bring back NPT (night erections while sleeping) which I believe played a key role in healing. Another key point - I'm a pretty confident guy and have a wonderful wife who I am very comfortable with. And still, this was very challenging mentally. I had to fight the tendency to just "force it" with less than ideal erections, which could cause further damage. And there were times my wife and I would get hot and heavy, and things just weren't working down there, and I'd have to just say, "Ya know, I don't think this is going to happen right now".
