For 9 months my t levels were below measureable value in tests and e levels kept slumping down and I couldn't have sex and felt all I was having is breast growth and no change to my face and e levels gradually went down despite raising estrofem dosage several times.
Then we switched from e pills to e gel and e went down even more and t became half male level. Got my sexuality back. Raised t blocker androcur level. Two months later e and t were in male range. We raised blocker and gel dosage. Will see what happens.
But anyway weird thing one how my hormone levels kept becoming more male.
Weird thing two when I got my sexuality back erections hurt a bit. Endo had no idea what it is but I think the pain is getting weaker with each erection though I'm not sure I'll be able to keep on getting them with the higher dose.

I don't get erections anymore, so it's not something I have dealt with personally, but read this and was curious so asked my roommate who is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of California. According to her this could be due to the atrophy of the muscles there. She also said that you should definitely talk with your doctor about it, since it could be the symptom of some other issue(s). Hope this is helpful.

The hormones levels are interesting - do keep us updated. Personally I have no real problem with an erection, its all mental - just the stimulus is different and the orgasm are incredible. I understnd that it varies from person to person and their past libido level as a male.
