Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I want to know if you are taking any medications or supplements especially anabolic androgenic steroids if you have been using alcohol recently.
Stress can be the main cause of erectile dysfunction in young adults .
Also taking count that you don't have any other symptoms or history of erectile dysfunction before stress can be the main cause.

I think relieving stress can be helpful.

Thank you! Im not even getting them in the mornings anymore which is why im concerned
Brief Answer:
Wait for a week or two before checking testosterone levels.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Having no erections in the morning may signify erectile dysfunction caused by drugs (antidepressants), low testosterone, obesity, diabetes, etc.
You can wait for a week or two, trying to minimize stress and relax hoping that this will resolve by itself.
If it doesn't seem to get better you may check testosterone levels, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
