Someone know the average time it takes for side effects to show if any does?

I thought I could never be able to get an erection again after taking my first pill of finasteride, but I still haven't seen any side effects.

Besides a clear increases in libido that lasted between the third day and the eight day after starting the treatment I still not notice anything weird

No problems with erections, do not notice something weird in my semen. I still worry I will get something in the future

You might never get any.

I had "ball ache" for about a week after starting but nothing since then. Everything else is good. Sunday marks the beginning of my 4th week.

With most people if they are going to get side effects, they get them early within the first few weeks. I had a very sudden drop in libido and erection problems after 10 days. I skipped a dose and then continued with finasteride, within 10 days I was back to how I was before.

Just try riding out the side effects if you ever do.

If you read the leaflet that comes with your finasteride, you'll see that decreased libido, erection problems are very common (more than 1 in 10), however this goes away in the majority of users with continued use, as it did with me.
