Hello, I really don't know where to start, so I'll give you a little bit of background information.
Im a 25 year old male, definitely out of shape at 6'2 I was at 270, currently 260. I was given a bottle of depo test from my girlfriends dad, who is a Pharmacist. I never had my levels taken and my reasoning behind asking him for it was, Im still unable to grow a full beard and I assumed that was due to me being out of shape most of my life and having low test levels. He gave me the needles and 22 guage needle tips, he then told me to inject 1cc a week for a ten week cycle. Which I've followed to the T. Im coming to the end of the cycle and according to him, I should slowly decrease the amount from 8cc to 6cc and finish at 4cc. Does that sound right?
Now the problem, I've definitely noticed some side effects. My heart rate has increased and I've noticed a pain in my left testicle, also I've noticed that it has risen up a little bit, as in my right testicle hangs lower. It's also become apparent that my balls have shrunk in size. It's also harder to maintain an erection for a long period of time. I frequently masterbate and have sex, so could that be the issue? Also how long until these side effects ware off or is this permanent?
I'm really regretting this, due to reading all the side effects that come along with taking depo test, but I'm going to finish what I started. I feel as if this all mental, but I'm just unsure of the entire situation, due to the fact I've never done anything like this before.
I do have some questions, I hope you won't mind answering.
How long will it take for my levels to return to normal? When will I start producing my own natural test again? Have I done irreversible damage to myself?
Also, any advice you can give me period as to what I can do to help transition back to where I was before will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read all that!
