A Morning Surprise

[seanthomas (imported)]

Today I enter my third week on estrogen therapy and so far it's been great. However, deciding to go the estrogen route I was resigned to loosing my libido as well as maintaining my erection-less status. Quite to my surprise I awoke this morning not only with a strong urge, but also with a passable erection (thanks in part to three GainsWave treatments). Otherwise the estradiol has given me a very serene outlook, improved my sleep and I am beginning to feel the no testosterone brain fog slowly fading. Now I am wishing I would have started on estradiol years ago.

Estradiol has completely alleviated my no T symptoms. Some years ago, I lived with no T at all for 3 years for medical reasons, the hard way, experiencing the negative side effects with little relief. When my T recovered after that, my libido did to although to a more subdued level. It was just burdensome.

Now since I became a eunuch through surgery, and have no T, I didn't want to live with those symptoms again. Estrogen has been a lifesaver for me! I have nearly zero libido, no interest in sex. My willie can firm up with enough stimulation, but I just don't care to. No involuntary "wood", ever.

My estradiol level is at the lower end of fully female, but it is surely there. I feel absolutely fantastic! It is such a sense of freedom, not having sex driving my thoughts at all. My mood is positive, stable, reasonably calm. And yet I still feel much of the assertiveness, the drive for everything else I used to have. I feel like a better version of myself. Looking back to when I had testosterone, it feels like there was someone else living in my body. Someone that in many ways I don't like very much. The posturing of macho behavior seems a bit silly and preposterous now.

I wish others could experience the positive side of this!

My best friend always wakes up before me. Seriously tho glad you’re finding happiness with the new treatments. I hope it keeps up for you, pardon the pun.

I had a morning erection one day this week for the first time in years. I don't know how many years it has been that I have been a Eunuch. But I do know that my T level has to be near zero all the time. I am glad that it is.. I have no desire for any kind of intimacy and that is a good thing.

This resonates with my own experience. I've dropped estradiol (and progesterone) for now at the request of my endocrinologist, just to see how I do. But I'll recognize if my mental state deteriorates and I hope she'll see that I'll need to go back on E.
