So my hormone balance was steadily going the right way for the first 6 months or so and after that it collapsed. The needle on the scale was perfectly vertical between neither male nor female hormones, so to say.
After increasing gel dose and patches, both at the same time, I eventually switched to tablets and finally, after almost one and a half years things are finally looking up. However, my bf and I noticed that I've had some difficulties with tightness (called Phimosis apparently) that sometimes lead to swelling (different kind of swelling lol), most people online shrug off as "too much friction, use lube!"
My morning wood also seems to be coming back a bit. This morning, however, I woke up with some sharp uncomfortable pain. It seems that my difficulties are not exclusively sex related. I hope it fixes it on its own because the treatment plan seems long and awkward. Luckily I work from home so... we'll see
