Since or "Since/For weeks he had been waiting for usage in sentencethe reply."

I am not sure what to use in the following sentence:

Since/For weeks he had been waiting for the reply.

(He is still waiting for the reply. He hasn't received it yet)

I have searched and found that "since" is used to mention the starting point of a period of time that continues to now. So is "since" the right option here?

Thanks in advance.
