Guys,
How many pumps were you able to do on your first few pumps. I am headed in to the doctor today for my official activation. I could only get 5-6 pumps in yesterday. Freaked me out a little with the amount of pain. Also, while it got hard, did not have the length or girth that Kramer got in my video. Because of the pain I also did not engorge naturally (until later). I got irrationally upset by this (I only pumped 6 pumps, what did I expect).

I am trying to manage my expectations on how the cycling should progress. I have had such a good process, I am not sure what I expected the first time. Chronic over achiever here, but i realized I my reaction was a result of preparing for this aspect of the process the least. Should have waited until I activated with the doctor, probably.

Thanks.

I am right behind you Thursday, so I cant tell you how many pumps. Over achiever I understand.

Here are some thing to remember. You have scar tissue! Unless you have an unbelievable high pain tolerance you not going to break it all in one day What percent were you post op? 10,20,30,40 50? I am at 50. Your dick has got use to it at that stage it is happy it got lazy. Now you are telling time to start working out, its reply is fuck you leave me alone. So yall argue for a little. Finally your dick says ok I work a little bit but not much. Each day yall have this argument and each day he will work a little bit more. Finally one day not sure how long your dick will look forward to his workout.

That is based on how my hip reacted to therapy in 08 first day I could not lift my leg more than 1/2 inch at the end with a 2 lbs weight over a bent knee.

Remember the key word is patience

Thinking back to when I got implant one, 5 to 7 pumps depending on how full the pump was, was what I manage for the first cycle or so. The pump got hard enough that pumping it made my scrotum sore. Tried to add a pump or two each day, some times were just uncomfortable, some days stung all around the shaft, never a great deal of pain in the tips.

Now remember this is just me! You may have similar results, you may not. First an second recoveries were and have been a piece of cake. Starting a little early on cycling here; most pain is in scrotum where it is compressed against pump. At just over 3 weeks on a CX model this time with about 5 - 6 pumps maximum right now. Penis not too painful, scrotum sensitive to pumping pressure so stopping at six still. Different implant style and time so different results from first. By the way when you get to start using your penis, the cycling gets easier.

I forgot to mention a hint for all who are just starting out cycling, Keep your fingernails trimmed short!

Fingernails against a still sensitive scrotum are not pleasant. A month or too of quite short nails will improve your comfort level.

What about udder cream or bag balm

Something to desensitize my poor nuts would be good. As the doc said, big dick, small scrotum. Well, unless my boys get along with my pump better, there won't be a big dick. This is the second wave of pain I was prepping for....I should have prepped more.

Be careful whay you put on them , may make it worse ( been there done that)

After 6 months it's all too easy......long nails short nails, creams....forget all that stuff.
I can pump up anywhere anytime in a flash......you will too.
All the discomfort and little hurdles fade into insignificance when compared to the pleasure the implant brings after suffering ED.

I could only muster up about 8 pumps on day I started cycling. The more you stretch out, the more pumps you will be able to get in.

Don't worry dc, the boys eventually get used to the pump. Took three or four weeks for me.
