I'm currently inflating every night a bedtime, leaving inflated overnight, and deflate in the morning. Seems to be a good cycling solution. The surgical capsule is still forming, so I want it to be as stretched out as much as possible.
Sparky, you are one of the few with no pain or very little pain at 2 months out from Surgery. You're right that the surgical capsule is still forming and you want to maximize your stretch while it is forming so you can get as much loss of length back as possible. Also, your implant needs to be fully deflated so the the reservoir has enough space within its surgical capsule that is forming and doesn't restrict the fluid that can go back to the reservoir.
My doctors cycling protocol was 20 minutes while showering twice a day. When I started cycling at 6 weeks, I could barely get past 20 minutes without a lot of pain.
I also went above my doctors protocol and would sit in a warm bath 2 to 3 times a week and do stretches/bending at 70 to 80 precent inflation for 5 minutes and then inflate to the max and see how long I could stay at max inflation, without a lot of discomfort.
At 6 months I could stay inflated at the max for a little over an hour.
Now that I'm at 27 months out, I can leave it max inflated for 4 to 5 hours.
I don't really see a problem with what you're doing, just totally deflate afterwards.
Boy, I wish I would have been like you; when my wife and I had sex at 8 weeks, it was painful and awkward and the nerves are still healing too.
Keep cycling, I still cycle once a day in the shower and while shaving, just to keep everything working.
