[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 182483, member: 38109"] Be sure to skim this article: [URL="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3188848/"]Onset of effects of testosterone treatment and time span until maximum effects are achieved[/URL] It will help you to be patient while waiting for results. Retaining detailed notes on your TRT is a very good idea. Keeping your testosterone doses and serum levels in normal physiological ranges will help you to avoid some of the possible problems of TRT, such as elevated levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit and estradiol. Less easy to avoid are issues stemming from the suppression of the HPTA, which involves a reduction in numerous hormones: kisspeptin, GnRH, LH and FSH. Loss of LH and FSH frequently leads to testicular atrophy. Some find this to be a minor cosmetic issue that can be ignored. Others inject hCG to offset the loss of LH and reverse the atrophy. It's been hypothesized that in some men the reduction of these other hormones contributes to more subtle problems, such as reduced libido over time. Don't be overly concerned about this, but keep the thought around in case you have problems down the road. [/QUOTE]
