I am 18 years old. I went to a endocrinologist about 2 years ago. He prescribed me a hormone shot that I took for about 6-7 months. I have pubic hair, a little bit of armpit hair, and a peach fuzz. I've had these features for years. I have a penis that is about 3 inches non erect and 5 inches when erect. I masturbate and I'm able to ejaculate white sperm. I am 5'7 and I weigh at least 128 pounds. I went to him again last year in the middle of the year and he told me that I'm still growing so he cannot give me anymore testosterone shots. Am I still going through puberty or am I experiencing it slow?

Don't know much about how the shots work but puberty is a slow process that naturally occurs until a male is 21-25. Do you know what Tanner Stage you are in? Above is a link to help me further answer my Tanner Stage,question.

It does sound like the initial hormone treatment has helped out. It can take a while from when you first cum clear before it becomes milky. For any boy, that process can be quick, or it can take months. You are sill going through it, and you will get there eventually. It sounds like things were going OK after your last checkup, if your doc though you were still growing. If you feel the need, there is no harm in another checkup, even if it's a quick one for your doc to give you the peace of mind to say things are still going fine.

yes, a current status of progress may be helpful to you.

Eh you don't sound all that far behind to me.
I would not be the lest bit surprised if I have those same stats at 18.

You are not bad for an 18 year old!
Yeah...you still have some time to grow.

You are already in the average so even if I'm not a doctor, it sounds logic that you don't need more testosterone, good news!

I believe that I'm in the 3rd or 4th stage as the descriptions and pictures matches me. I have a lot of pubic hair and I shaved it all and it all grew back in less than 1 month. I don't know the girth of my penis, but it doesn't really look wide as it should. It's just that I don't have a deep voice like I should, and I still look like I'm not really 18, but 13-15.

And it doesn't matter what you look like eventually even if you are done, most people don't care in the long run :) don't stress about it

As long as I was able to cum and my rod had grown I would be perfectly happy if my puberty was taking longer than normal... I preferred having a higher voice and no hair to shave :L

Didn't read all the replies but puberty on average ends at 21 in males. You may not be a hairy fella (lucky May I add). All depends though, just weave it out with some time

My rod grew a little bit as I was getting older, but it's only 3 inches non erect and 5 when erect. I still look like I did when I was in middle school which is what worries me. I don't want to go to college looking like a middle schooler! I'm supposed to be seeing my endocrinologist for a checkup soon. Hopefully this will go great. I also believe I'm hitting a growth spurt. I grew in height over the past years and now I'm 5'7. I used to be smaller in height. Hopefully this continues.
