I've been on hormones (spiro and estrogen) for 6 1/2 months. Within about the first month my spontaneous erection (and morning erections) vanished. This last week I noticed that my testicles were sensitive, as in I could feel like deep tingling, then over the last couple of days I woke up with morning erections. Not strong ones, but they were there.
My last blood checked had my total testosterone at 10 and my free testosterone at.9%. This is really distressing to me. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be going on? :(
Don't let it distress you. They come and they go. And everybody's different.
Some would even say, don't let it go to waste. ;)
I don't know remember what my numbers were when I last saw my endo in November. But, I did see the spontaneous erections stop at about 1 to 2 months into HRT. At about 4 months, they were back. I'm at 10 months now, and they're gone again.
It might not be anything to worry about too much, but, yes they can be disconcerting.
Seems like it's "just one of those things."
It might be the season. It's Spring here, and even though I had an orchie in February(off spiro completely now), I'm getting nocturnal erections and other erections when not trying for them. I'm thinking it has something to do with mating season, as my XX girl_friends also mention that they pop spontaneous lady boners during this time of year. So, we're just typical females is all. :)

Thanks Cadence, that put a smile on my face. I see my doctor tomorrow and I am wondering if I should tell him that since puberty (around 16 for me) I have had a minimal sexual drive except for 3-4 days every month (seriously). During this time I am very horny, and then after those 3 or 4 days, BLAM, nothing. Sees what he does with that. Lol.
