Starting Trimix- Second Guessing
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2021 2:58 pm
I'm 45 and I was diagnosed with ED and low T around age 28. I take testosterone injections but still have ED. Cialis worked great for about 15 years. This year, after meeting my current girlfriend, it started being inadequate and inconsistent at 20 mg. I switched to Viagra (100 mg), and it worked well enough most nights, but not well enough to do anything but the basics. Then after a few weeks we had a couple of nights when it didn't work enough to do anything and a couple of nights when it just barely worked.
The PA at the urologist suggested Tri-mix injections, and I'm really excited about them, but I'm afraid they'll lose efficacy over time and I'll end up with implants at age 50. I'm not nervous about injecting myself (I give myself T shots every week), but I want to be sure I'm not giving up on the pills too soon. The difficulty with the pills has caused me a lot of distress in the last few months, even though my partner (who is a 6 month girlfriend, not yet a life partner) has been patient and supportive. I really couldn't bear it much longer.
It has been very difficult wondering if my erection will still be there after foreplay and knowing that I've been with my partner for 6 months and haven't been able to do the things beyond missionary that she (and I) really likes, even though we've had some really good nights.
I would likely use the injections about 50 times per year with my current girlfriend. I was also considering alternating between the injections and pills (great nights and acceptable nights) to reduce the frequency of injection and prolong efficacy. Any thoughts on my situation overall are appreciated.
