That really depends on two things:
1) What your test results come back as. If they're still low, you'll probably see a bump in your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dosage and another retest in 4-6 weeks. If they're where you and your doctor AGREE they should be, he might not have you come back for another 3-6 months.
2) Your doctor's testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) protocol. If your levels are great, some docs like to see you come in every 3 months for the first year, then start to space them out once they know your levels are regular.

Let us know how it comes back!

Got mine done a year ago on my annual physical, had the doc add it.. he asked why.. i said.. i'm broken and wife and I did ivf.. so he said thats a good enough of a reason.. came back low.. a year later.. annual physical... ran again.. even lower.. now i'm on test cyp 200mg/week

So in short, I waited about a year to confirm.
