A recent thread mentions getting hormones /testosterone levels checked..

Yes, PCS can cause loss of libido. As mentioned, some have a decrease in testosterone that impacts this. There are meds that can contribute to this, too.

What symptoms do you still have at 10 weeks?

Low sex drive is also a symptom of low testosterone. See my other posts about neuro-endocrine disfunction (hormone imbalance) caused by TBI. Its a common issue. Per the article below it may clear up on its own and it may not. Get checked wither way. In my other posts I mention the minimum you need to check although this article covers everything.

I would also suggest you get your neck checked as everyone state on this forum.

I've read that upwards of seventy percent or so of people have issues with decreased libido following a tbi.
