No noticeable changes after two weeks of HCG monotherapy - Am I impatient?

[Renholder]

Do I close any doors if I decide to go on Nebido as soon as the 18th this month and would it be stupid of me?

I`m thinking that bloodwork on the 18th, 16 days after my first HCG shot, would at least indicate if I`m responding at all to the treatment, although as been said already, it would probably take a lot longer to feel the full effects.

In theory and most likely in practice, there is no doubt that Nebido will increase my testosterone and alleviate my symptoms, which is why I`m extremely tempted to just get started with it.

If bloodwork from the 18th shows that I did have a response to the HCG monotherapy, then I know that I may have the opportunity to get off testosterone and see if I can function alone without it at a later time in my life.

The thing is that I feel this low testosterone state which have been going on for at least three years now, have already very negatively impacted my life. I have not had a serious relationship with a girl for the last three years, save random encounters. I simply do not have the libido or urge to pursue a relationship, which is terrible, because I really want one and I have had the chance multiple times as well, but had to kindly reject them because I knew it would not work. I quit my job as a carpenter, a decision that I probably would have done anyway, but I wonder if it would have been different if I actually had normal testosterone levels.

Right now, I have a lot of other stuff on my plate and I will be making some important choices that may very well affect my future greatly. I had to drop a few subjects this year as well, since I did not have the consistent energy or mental clarity that I needed on a daily basis. I fear the outcome if I have to face the future just functioning on will power, which have been the case for a long time now.

That`s why I`m tempted to simply get started and get a much needed relief. I`m reasoning that perhaps I could try to taper off testosterone at a point in my life where I`m in a better situation to do so, although I`m prepared that it`s probably for life.

Does that make any sense at all?

Would appreciate the input greatly. I can post my blood work if it is of interest, but total testosterone is 13.6 nmol/L or 391 ng/dL.

Any input on this please?

I took bloodwork today and dropped by my doctor to ask him for a prescription on Nebido as I have pretty much decided on getting started, but he was not there today.

So, I`m going back on Monday unless some of you think it is a bad idea and that I should give HCG some time.

My main concern is TRT masking some other problem or that I actually have the potential to function on my own naturally, but if TRT does not close any doors, i.e., effect any irreversible change in my physiology, I think I need the relief right now and would rather try a re-start some time later.

I`ve been feeling slightly more horny lately, but that goes in cycle and have happened without HCG as well, so I`m not sure if there is a connection. Other symptoms like fatigue and lack of energy persists.

Thanks,

Renholder

I`m sorry if I seem like a pain in the ass here, but I could really use the input.

It`s almost three weeks with HCG now and I don`t notice any changes in my body at all. Libido and erectile quality (morning wood the last days) have been better, but nothing more than during random fluctuations in the past. My body still feels like it`s 100 years.

I just talked to my doctor and he will prescribe Nebido. I will get it on Wednesday or Thursday.

Any reason not to get started with it?

Thanks very much,
