Ive Noticed that the day right before injection twice now I feel a little fatigued during the day. I mean it’s not too bad but I do feel it. That lack of energy. Tomorrow is my third injection and I noticed it once before right before the second injection. Is that all just sort of locked together with the whole hormones up and down on normalizing body getting used to it kind of thing?
I am not sure. T cyp releases so slow its half life is 7-8 days. Its kind of hard to believe you feel an instant boost but anything is possible. When I take my shot I get sleepy with in a half hour so I inject at bedtime.
Atm I inject Monday and Thursday mornings. The Thursday injection basically covers a four day time span while there Monday injection only covers a three day. But I still felt the same in either case so I don’t really know. It’s probably all in my head. I don’t know. I guess one positive is I don’t feel like shit. I would’ve thought there would’ve been some sort of transitional freakiness between Clomid and testosterone. So far I don’t feel depressed or down or anything like that. Aside from that weird first day injection estrogen spike, I feel OK.
Oh actually yesterday I did notice a bit of irritability so I don’t know
This might help you understand how T cyp works over time.
if you took 100mg of test cyp/ week, makes no difference if its daily EOD 3 time a week 2 times a week or weekly the milligrams in your body would constantly be increasing until roughly 40 days go by.
That means at 40 days, you will have 200mg in your system, not 100mg anymore. So if you don’t feel anything that great even after a few weeks on a specific dosage of testosterone, just be patient. Your total testosterone should constantly be increasing from day one until day 40.
This is why people always say it takes testosterone sometimes 3-6 weeks to “kick in”. It has to do with your receptors getting acclimated to these new testosterone levels, but it also has to do with the fact that maybe that 100mg in your system when you started didn’t really make you feel that great or raise your testosterone levels high enough, but after 40 days (5 weeks), you now have 200mg in your system and your total testosterone should now be doubled from when you first started, and this amount of milligrams in your system might be just what you needed to feel good and get your numbers where they should be.

That makes perfect sense. Im just gonna wait er out.
I wish i was feeling the red blood cell increase. I love to run but no stamina anymore since kids. I ended up gaining close to 30 pounds since my first daughter was born. Used to be 165. Now 195. Just wanna burn it all off lol.
This pic is today.
You will burn that off in no time you have a good frame just give it time. Look hard at your diet and exersize. Don’t over do the exersize. Get your joints an connective tissues ready by going often high reps low weights.
As time goes by the T will start kicking in you will start to really feel stronger and before you know it you will jones to go to the gym because your muscles with itch to be worked.
There is nothing like leaving the gym and your whole body feels like its got a boner.

When in the first 6 weeks on a new protocol, I notice energy for a few hours, then fatigue for a few hours. You may even notice you feel hot like your internal thermostat is set to high, this is TRT affecting your T3 uptake as more is demanded from your thyroid.
I expect muscles and joints to be sore in the coming weeks, to the point it feels like you’ve been to the gym. Do not do low heavy reps while your joints lag behind healing or the next couple to several on months, your muscle will grow faster than your joints are healing.

I did notice the “heating”. I was sweating at times. Labido and erection sensitivity seemed up and down constantly this week. 
hope that normalizes soon.
Can i stil run??
If your estrogen doesn’t climb too high at end of week 6, you should be able to keep your erections.

Hey do you think there’s any truth to people saying that after seven or eight years of TRT their sex drive/erections vanish? What is that?? Im not worried. Im just weirded out by that lol.
That means they have other health problems as they age, like thyroid or lack of proper sleep. Constant worrying can mess with your head and cause a self fulfilling prophecy that you can no longer get a erection.
A large percentage of men in the cialis trials were given empty pills and thought they were getting actual medicine, but they thought they were and could get erections. You can’t have a raging sex drive forever, you cells age and become weaker.

My labido and erections were incredible thr day after my first shot. Not so much since then. Did i pass through some sweet spot from the first shot?
Levels are fluctuation never staying in one place for too long, you’ll get erection when your levels swing into a range optimal for erections. You just have to get levels in that range after your levels stabilize, this can be tricky.
I’ve searched for this optimal range for 2 years and it’s somewhere between 490-550 ng/dL,Total T these levels will see Free T at or above high normal. When I start getting into the 600 ranges, Free T is supraphysiological.

Im doing 150 weekly split into two doses. I guess i might need to lower the weekly then. The first shot was intended for 200 a week with 100 in the first shot. Maybe im more a 100-120 weekly area. The “range” erections from that first shot were just incredible. Much better than on clomid. Im guessing i dont have a blood flow issue.
Update:
Def getting massive labido boosts 1 day after each injection then it tapers off to clomid quality labido or less. Today is the day after my recent injection. LOTS of jerkn off and random erections even from just adjusting my paints “down there”. Its incredible. I sure hope this will last.
Yah many men get this . Just be careful and don’t overuse . To much of anything is bad. It gets better and becomes more consistent. Goals to stay healthy , create healthy habits and that will create longevity.
Get to the gym and convert that fat to muscle. I went from 165/170 to 190s in 3 months time gong twice a week. Riding my bike to. You’ll be amazed how fast you recover once you start running again.
I went for a 40 mile endurance ride Monday and I was exhausted the last 30 mins barely made it home. Let’s cramping.: woke up next day totally fresh. Went to gym and did a bunch of deadlifts and upper body.
So weird…
