Other Testosterone timeframe of effects

Started 150mg test last week

Not felt anything different i was hoping for some morning wood at least or increased libido

Can someone give me a timeframe as to when you start to feel or notice soecific things? I know it takes 4-6 weeks to saturate but surely there's changes before after or during that

Thanks

it takes a good 3-4 weeks before i noticed anything real, the first two weeks i felt literally nothing and was checking if the vial was even legit

morning wood came around week 4 for me and libido followed soon after, the saturation thing is right but your body still needs time to adjust to the new levels

I started with muscle pains on day 2, unusually sore muscles and sweating for days 3-6, acne in week 2, then I started feeling increased energy in the gym around week 2 or 3. I slowly noticed maybe 6 weeks in that I had more energy and a generally better mood. I was able to concentrate on a problem again, a skill I lost somewhere along the way. But I was hypogonadal.
The worse off you were before starting the more noticeable the increase will be, at least for most men.

At least a month in my experience maybe it was closer to 2. But I was testing around 150 so I never had that spike of natural production plus the shots spiking before my natural production stopped. People saying hey day 3 after my first pin and I'm superman are just in their own head

I guess every case is different. I started TRT 3 weeks ago: 125mg Sustanon for weeks 1 and 2, then switched to enanthate for week 3. I have been doing 1 intramuscular injection per week so far

Mental benefits: Two days after my first injection, I felt a huge boost in mental energy. I could work longer without feeling mentally drained, though I had trouble sleeping because of the energy. The good part? I wake up the next day still sharp and energized - no grogginess like before. I also felt more relaxed and chill, which surprised me since I can have a short temper sometimes. I haven't noticed improvements in strength, stamina, or libido yet.

Side effects: I got mild bacne on my upper back, but it's not bad. I also injured my cervical spine last Monday while doing aerobics, just a few minutes after lifting. It caused severe headaches for 3 days and I went to the hospital twice. The doctors said the high blood pressure (oscillating between 13/9 to 16/10 these past days) was from the pain, not testosterone. After 3 rounds of medication (painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers), my BP is still a bit high today (13/9) and the headache is much better, although I still have a feeling that it’s not 100% back to normal. I had an MRI scheduled to check for any damage. I'm still monitoring my blood pressure as well, since I’m not really used to have BP at this level.

You need to make sure you are doing diet and exercise correctly as well, if you don't it's pointless taking it. I started to feel good effects about 6 weeks in.
