I don't remember seeing a survey like this one (I didn't look that hard), and it would probably be horribly out of date anyway.
This recent rush of guys who just started reminds me of the cohort who started around the same time I did. It seems to go in waves. Anyway, I'm curious about how long guys have been on T and how many guys are just starting.

I got my first shot about 5 and a half weeks ago, but haven't had one since then. I'm waiting for my doctor to mail me my prescription, which should be within the next week or so.

About 6 months or so. I'd have to look it up for an exact figure (No, I don't remember my own T start date off the top of my head. My brain has a blind spot for dates).
I have noticed the same thing, it does go in waves. I think there were another 3 or so people that started in the same fortnight as me, and then nothing for a few weeks.
As one wave gets T, it seems a group of people that are ready take it as a cue to start making a move on the process. That's why I think we get the waves.
That and "if he can make a thread about starting T, so can I" - so even if the start dates are a little staggered, we still get the threads in waves (which makes it all the more noticeable).

Well if all things keep going well I could possibly be on T by February. At most I'm hoping by the middle of next year if not before.

Medically, I have the go-ahead to start now. Practically, however, I can't see it being possible for the foreseeable future. I have therefore put myself down as "I don't know when...".
And hang on in there, Jeatyn.

I might have to change my response from "I expect to start this calendar year" to the one that says something like "sometime in the future". Stupid dead-ends with counselors and therapists are really starting to piss me right off >:(.
