When I went to daily injections over three years ago it was a six-week roller-coaster ride. Some days were solid and problem free, others were as if I was in the pits of hypogonadism. But it paid off...I wish I had done that in the first place but here we are. I gotta say I'm feeling pretty off it today. I had a shit day at work (Brain Fog), got emotional talking with my gf about something pretty trivial and noticed some shrinkage. Not was I was hoping for. How long until this stabilizes?
Yea it's been two weeks and things are definitely up and down. The bottoms aren't so bad but I'm having a bit of a difficult time in a lot of other areas: low sex drive and energy, Intermittent brain fog, workouts are on and off. Confidence goes in and out. I just don't know what to expect from one day to the next.When I went to daily injections over three years ago it was a six-week roller-coaster ride.
