“Problems caused by using Testosterone”
When I reached 15 and saw no signs of puberty, I made the stupid choice to take testosterone without a doctors help. I took 150mg of testosterone enanthate 3 times bi weekly, and stopped due to being scared of messing up my growth. Right away I noticed a large spike in libido and saw changes such as pubic hair coming in, voice dropping, and grew in height by 3 inches in only months. Its been about half a year since i stopped and now i have very low libido and only get horny once in a while. Will i go back to normal?

Puzzling how you got a prescription drug like testosterone without a prescription. Sounds like what you described was secondary to the boost in testosterone levels. Now you need to see a pediatric/adolescent endocrinologist to get hormone levels and full genital exam/pubertal Tanner staging done with appropriate blood hormone levels too. Also need all your prior height and weight specific information and plotted on a growth chart to see what your pattern was before as well as since the testosterone. Maybe also a bone age xray which would determine how much advanced your bone age response was to the testosterone and also allow prediction for final height expectations.
If there are no available appointments, ask to be put on a cancelation list since that usually gets you seen within a week or so. Also you can calmly call the office once or twice a week to ask if anybody cancelled that same day and just take that slot so you don't have to wait excessively. Good luck.

Please see an endocrinologist to check your levels.
