@bob1955 Are you monitoring your testosterone level?

Once my testosterone increased to within normal range, my libido returned. (I recall telling my wife (in late January 2022), that I thought the Eligard was wearing off because I was beginning to lift heavier weights at the gym. Since I wasn’t due for another “official” bloodwork for another couple of months, I self-ordered another PSA & testosterone test (out of curiosity), and those came back as 0.13 & 403.0, respectively, meaning that everything was going exactly as expected - that is, PSA staying low and testosterone increasing as the Eligard was leaving my system.)
