Just got my second injection this month... I was at Mayo Clinic for some tests... My pituitary gland is smaller than it should be, which could point to testicular cancer, but they've ruled that out—they just can't find a clear reason for the low testosterone levels. It’s also looking likely that I’m infertile... It was a bit of a gut punch hearing that, but I'm just hoping the other symptoms resolve so I can live a normal life again...

Look, I know this isn't really what this forum is about, but I need some help if anyone can give it.... I'm turning 21 soon and I've been diagnosed with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Basically, my pituitary gland isn't producing testosterone for some unknown reason, so I look like a 15-year-old kid instead of a 21-year-old man... My doctors prescribed Nebido testosterone injections every three months for the rest of my life. I just had my second shot, and for the first time ever, I actually produced sperm—so there's visible progress... What I want to know is how long I have to wait before my beard starts growing and I get body hair? My penis size increased a bit, but not much. It's just constant hiding and people staring at me like I'm some damn middle schooler. The situation is pretty heavy, but since the second injection triggered sperm production, I'm wondering if frequent ejaculation will speed up the process, or should I actually be avoiding it? I really just need someone to talk to about this, or if anyone else here is dealing with this exact same thing, because right now, I'm completely screwed...
