Testosterone injection question

HI,


For you guys receiving testosterone injections; how long did it take and how many injections did you receive before your libido and sex drive and general health returned to normal? I had my first shot about 5 days ago and it has no noticeable little effect thus far. 1 cc of testosterone was the dosage. My levels were 275, 180, and 146 before beginning therapy. There were taken early in the AM then progressively later in the PM on seperate days. Can someone give me some insight? IS it possible that some people even when given testosterone injections cant ever reach normal levels? Thanks.

I have been taking the injections since July of 2011. They recently upped my dosage by doubling what I was getting. My levels were still too low, the Dr said. So far, I have not noticed ANY improvement in my libido NOR in my performance. The only change has been some rather alarming shrinkage of my testes. I am well past the stage of wanting  to start a family, but I am also concerned about any possible danger or worry about it. I have not found anything, yet, telling me whether this is a dangerous condition. I am also, now, on TWO blood pressure meds and a diuretic, which can ALL cause ED.

Hi, I'm taking 2 CC every monthand started a big difference after about a month. This does not indicate that you will get the same result, every person is different and might react differently.

Good Luck.
