8 Days in Now. How Long to Notice Effects from Test P?
I may just be tripping myself out a bit, but I just have a bit of a concern with Test Prop. I am running my second cycle, and I am running 500mg Test E just the same as my first cycle. However, I am also using some Test P as a "kicker" at 125mg eod. Today is the 8th day (only started last Sunday), so I was trying not to think too much of it... But I have been reading a lot about Prop and peoples' experiences with it all around Eroids, and I keep reading that you should notice changes in like 2-4 days. I do not think I have noticed any in these 8. Again, it is only 8 days so I was not thinking too much of it at first... But after reading all that it makes me a little bit anxious about the gear. Strength seems the same. No killer pumps like I experienced after a few weeks on the E last time. No noticeable change in libido even. Idk, man. Anyone have any input on this? 8 days does not seem long to me, but I keep reading that people start feeling "on" in like 2. Ha. Idk. I am probably just being stupid, but hey. It is worth asking for opinions and knowledge from people who actually have experience with it.

after the 2nd shot of test prop i cant leave my gf alone lol! usually 100mg eod, but if you run it with NPP your libido might not kick in so fast.
Well, I am 18 days in as of today.
I have gained a solid 4 lbs, and strength is definitely increasing.
I have made a couple changes, and I feel like they were good for me.
I switched from Arimidex to Aromasin as a couple people suggested, and I feel like this is helping.
I am using it 12.5mg EOD.
I also switched from pinning the Prop at 1.25ml EOD to 0.6/0.7 (hard to get exactly 0.65 every time. Ha.) everyday as of today to see if that will keep me more balanced. So, same dosage... Just split to pin everyday instead of every other. I have read a bit about people doing this and it helping a bit.
And, of course, pinning the Test E at 250mg 2x a week.
Like I said, I have gained a few pounds.
Not many, but 4 is good for being 18 days into a 15-week cycle, yeah?
I am also definitely seeing increases in strength on most of my compound lifts.
Pumps are definitely starting to come, as well. Veins are popping a bit more.
Some workouts have been better than others, but that is to be expected.
I have generally been feeling a bit happier and simply more content with life the past few days, as well.
Also, I am feeling harder. Definitely feeling lean and as if I am not retaining much water at all.
Overall, I feel like things are going smoothly.
I just hope to see the weights, both mine and the iron, keep moving upward... And steadily.
Thank you to everyone who has chimed in with his $0.02.
I appreciate every bit of it, and I will keep you guys posted as my cycle unfolds!
If you have to question it something is wrong
My experience is I feel prop within one to two shots
Which are 100mg Ed normally and by day two I'm beasting and pumped up while I work out and all day long too
el super beastoYeah bro.u should deff.feel prop.bye now.for me instantly pumps.strength.
I meant to say zero in on Nitti also. Both those guys are super studs - no homo.
Prop hits me super fast - within hours at this pont in time. Zero in on MegaT's assessment. Mega has me completely dialed in and I had some of the same issues you describe.
I just want to tell all of you I really appreciate the replies. It was all very helpful. I have gained a couple lbs, and I was significantly stronger than usual when I trained back/bis last night... and had energy I usually do not have after such a long day. I think my body really may just be a bit slower to react than some. Also, I switched from Adex to Aromasin yesterday. I am going to see if that helps to level me out a bit. I also have a blood test on its way to me in the mail in the coming days so I can see exactly what I have going on, especially with the switch in AI. Again, thank you all. Should be on the up n' up from here.
I can normally feel it after about 2-3 days. My libido goes up , but actually feel the pump, within a week for me.
Normally about 2 weeks for me...
You should definTly have a raise in libido pretty quickly, testicular atrophy kicks in pretty fast for me too. Be patient for another 2 weeks or so, if nothing changes. Consider switching gears.
Yeah, I'm using the P as a kicker for some of the same E I have already had success with anyway, so even if (for some strange reason) I don't react well to the p, the E should be kicking in in another week or so anyway. It should all be fine.
good horrible acne within a few days.... pinned every other day.. this intervall isnt good for me.. stopped it.. next time only ed pinning for steay blood level
cornfedjththe next day after a pin with me with prop.
Muscleg33ktook me 2 weeks to notice.
I feel the effects of a quality test prop in a matter of days. Sometimes the next morning. But I've been using it so long that I'm convinced I can even tell if the stuff is dosed right. There could be a few different reasons you don't feel it. Maybe it takes you a little longer to notice. I've heard people say they don't notice effects for weeks from prop. Everyone is different. It could be elevated estrogen canceling out the feeling you would get. I see someone mentioned receptors. That's a possibility. I don't know how long it's been since you ran the last cycle. It's always possible that the stuff is underdosed or bunk. But I wouldn't jump the gun on that. I'd say make sure your AI is being accurately dosed. I would personally try pinning half the dose every day instead of eod just to see if there's a change. Pay close attention to every detail. Increased sensitivity sexually. More pep in your step. Overall feeling better than usual. Little things like this are hard to notice. But once you know your body it will be fairly easy to tell if you're feeling the effects. Give it a little time. Pay close attention. Good luck my man.
Dude, thanks a lot. This is the most complete response thus far. And, yeah. I think I am starting to see some changes now. I may just not "know my body" well enough yet like you mentioned. Anyway, I stepped on the scale and it read 185.0 today. I was sitting at 181 just a few days ago. That alone says a bit. I guess I am just waiting for the libido and the pumps and all that to really KNOW I am feeling it. Ha. Seeing as it is only my second cycle, I guess I am probably just being overly anxious to feel that same feeling I felt on the first one.
What are you doing for an AI as far as dose? I see your using Adex but at what dose. You have to understand that when you threw in prop to your cycle your AI dose has to change also. Your estradiol is most probable elevated as you have pinned over 1.375grams (5x125mg prop and 3x250 test e) in 8 days. The thing most guys miss about elevated estrogen is that it increases the body's production of sex hormone-binding globulin. SHBG, binds the active free testosterone into an inactive "bound testosterone." Bound testosterone cannot be picked up by testosterone receptors on cell membranes. For testosterone to produce long-lasting, libido-enhancing,muscle building effects, it must be kept in the "free" form (not bound to SHBG) in the bloodstream. It is necessary to suppress excess estrogen because this hormone can compete for testosterone receptor sites in the sex centers of the brain and the genitals.
The point I'm making is your gear is most probable good. It's your estro levels and you need to get it in check. Don't know if you live in the US but one way to answer your doubt and know for sure is get a blood test.
Accuracy of a sniper brother!
Very well put
Dude, thanks a lot. Yeah, I've been using Adex at 0.25 eod. I'll bump it up to 0.5 and see if I notice any difference.
DP
takes me a good week or 2 before i start feeling it
Yeah, I think I am starting to get a little something. Gained a couple pounds. I think it is just me being a noob and being overly anxious to feel the libido, the sweating, the overall sense of well-being and everything right off the bat after reading how other people did. Ha. But I think I may just react to it a little more slowly like you say. I will keep everyone updated.
X2 good question
I felt a god like feeling rising up by day 3.
SwolePatrole7On my prop kickstart i fealt that shit on day 2.
Agree with celtic, I usually feel prop within the first few day, skin begins to get oily, small bumps on my shoulders and back. Not sure what you have is bad, just saying normally you feel it by now. But everyone reacts differently to prop. Just stick with the protocol and I hope that it hits within the next few days.
Yeah, I am gonna just keep the faith for now and hope to feel it sometime this week. Thanks, bro.
AnonYeah bro honestly you should be feeling it I took a few shots of sust 350 and slightly felt the phenyl prop and test prop so you should deff feel the prop ! Try pinning everyday for like 4 days straight and see if you feel anything
Hmm. Alright, man. Well, the P is from the same source (and lab) I got my E from last time... And that stuff was definitely good. I am going to give it the rest of this week and then Idk. I will try pinning for a few days straight. If I do not notice any real difference with that, I am just going to set it aside and stick to the E and maybe just run it slightly higher than I did the first go-around (like 600-700mg instead of the 500/wk I did last time). That sound like a reasonable plan?
