question from a user

Why for the first two weeks of treatment did I start getting morning wood again but after about two weeks it has stopped. No issues with ED, I’m just not waking up with morning wood anymore

AlphaMD's Answer

When you first undergo TRT your levels can fluctuate significantly. Initially this doesn’t mean the TRT program isn’t working, but if you’re finding a complete cessation of “morning wood” that could mean that your program is not yet optimized to your body’s needs.

Managing expectations is important on TRT because the initial response to treatment doesn’t always guarantee sustained response. That said, it’s also important to discuss these changes with your medical provider so that you can decide together if further testing is indicated at your next check up.
