I would to hear so to tips and trips and get some advice on cycling. Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.

I sure as hell cannot get this to a max fill yet. And the limit that i do get to, lets guess at 90% of its potential, hurts like hell !
is this just something that we all have to deal with and learn to how to endure until the pain stops. Does this pain ever stop. lol ???

I cannot seem to hold the max level that i can get to (which is not the max ) for more than a minute or two at best. I end up backing it off to where I can stand it and then staying there for a while. Then I will try again to pump back up a bit later for a second hold it and then release.

thanks for listening . happy to hear some replies.

I am new at this. In accordance with doctor's orders, I started cycling - in a hot bath - two times daily on day three after surgery. That was 10 days ago.
Each time has been easier. Now I can pump to what I think is the max and hold it for 30+ minutes. For me the bigger challenge is that I feel like after I deflate that I still have a bit of a chub. Doctor says this is normal and that as the fluid build in my scrotum due to the surgery dissipates that this will ease. The tenderness to the scrotum from squeezing the pump has mostly gone away. Still feel an ache when I'm full inflated, but even that seems better.
Just keep at it.
Sure is nice to see and feel an erection again.

You really, really don't need to be trying it max out like that, especially since your surgery was this month. You've got months or a year or even a little longer to recover. I think the easiest thing to say about using VEDs is something I was also told before I ever tried one, "you'll get used to it." I understand entirely how it's incredibly strange and feels unnatural to have suction on your dick like this, but again, you get used to it.

If you want to get to max, try getting halfway there first for a few weeks. Then gradually building up to it. Or something like that.

I've been implanted just over a year now.
It takes a good 10 - 12 month of cycling to get back to normal size.
I would inflate until I felt a little discomfort. Once the discomfort subsides, I would give him another pump or two.
At first, I could only go 15 - 30 mins, now I can go 2 hours fully pumped.
I have gained back my length and have a bit more girth.
Takes time, don't try to rush it, you will get there.

You need to listen to what your body tells you. If the pain is too much, back off.
Cycling in a hot tub is wonderful many say, if you have access to one. I didn't really cycle since I was never instructed or knew, but most mornings I'd sit in a hot bath, inflate and relax for a while. Full healing takes one year although you should be feeling good in a few months. Then you'll have plenty of time to enjoy.

In my case, I didn't have much glans or shaft pain during cycling. You're very early in recovery. My opinion by going back to my drs instructions sheet tells me your ahead of schedule.
Its a bit hard to stretch your implant & pump if they aren't soft yet. There is no comparison between my pumps softness now at 6+ months to what it was at 1 month.
Most men seem to be advised to maintain their pumped status for 15 to 30 minutes. If you can't last for 15 minutes then I think you're pumped too much for your timeline. Scale your max down a little. Since you say that you pump then release. That is probably good. But I would find that mentally exhausting. I generally pump until my bulb won't take anymore then read the news on my phone to take my mind off of it. Every 5 minutes or so I give it a squeeze to see if it'll take more. Remember, if the bulb even depresses a little, you did move fluid.
The tunica & the implant material are tough. If you can't or don't maintain the "stretch" for the commonly recommended time. You're not going to be giving all the parts the actual time needed to stretch. Think of comparing a sprint race to a marathon. You can't sprint as far as a marathoner can go. Be that marathoner.
Please add some implant info to your signature. At the very least members should know the model of your implant. Each model might respond a little differently to a different model.
