Hey guys,
Been a while since I posted here. Mostly because I’ve been out enjoying the implant without any complications for the past 2 years. I’m actively pumping and stretching about 3 times a day. But I just noticed something a couple days ago that has me nervous (out of an abundance of caution with these things).
I was lazily pumping with my shorts on (sort of just having my junk sitting out of the top of my waistband). Now, usually whenever I pump to full max, it’s always hard to push down on the pump because it’s like a pressure thing. For the first time ever though, my pump when completely soft and flat when I tried pumping it (but opened up when I stopped pushing on it). I have no idea what happened. My dick was completely hard still and then deflated properly after pressing the button.
Now since then, my pumps have been normal. But now just a couple days later, it happened again. I have really no idea what’s causing it. My dick is still fully hard and to my knowledge isn’t losing hardness over time. It still deflates properly as well. Any ideas?
Also side note, I tried calling Clavell’s new office and no one answered. Has this been people’s experience?

Re: Want to make sure this is not a complication (almost 2 years post op)
i don't have the answer but I'll suppose that it's maybe because you're out of fluid in your pump. I mean you cycled at the max of fluid that was put in your reservoir.

It may not be a complication at all. It may just be that you've stretched to maximum utilization of all your available fluid.
Keep us posted.

Pumping up 3 times per day even after 2 years? Don’t you think you’re overusing it and increase unnecessary wear and tear?
I’m also almost 2 years out, pumping once every 3-4 days for 20 minutes.

Even though I am no expert, when I've spoken to doctors they mentioned daily cycling is mostly recommended for the 1st year. Implants have a lifespan of cycles, and unless you are having sex every day, it is not necessary to cycle daily.
Also, I have called Clavell's new office many times for multiple reasons and they always pick up. He did your surgery already. Have you tried texting him directly? He might have an answer for you.

I agree. You probably used your reservoir's capacity. Especially if your pumped to the max and not losing your erection.

Maybe it's not really a Titan thing and more an AMS thing...but can't the valve stick, too? Possibility.

I dont think the frequency of cycling is what causes most failures.
My understanding is that most failures are caused by tubing wear and leaks.
