Should I increase my Test E dose???

I am 5 weeks into my first cycle. This is how my cycle looks like:

Testosterone Enanthate – 500mg a week – 12 weeks
Dianabol – 35mg ED – 4 weeks
HCG – starts week 4 ends week 14 – 500ius 3 times a week during week 4 and 250ius 2 times a week until week 14
Nolvadex – starts week 15 – 40/40/20/20
Clomid – starts week 15 – 100/50/50/50

During the first 3 weeks I gained 10 pounds and notice some strength increase (nothing crazy). But since then I didn’t gain any more pounds or become much more stronger. My diet is good, I'm working out as hard as I can, without over training. I am worried about my Test E 250mg/ml. I noticed that instead of 10ml, the vial has only 8.5ml. This and my lack of gains make me think that the Test is under dosed.

Should I increase my dose from 2ml to 3ml per week or not? Please share your opinion with me.

No, 500 mg is fine.

Why so much HCG ?

Don't worry about it. Same thing happened to me. I was more worried about gaining strength and staying lean so I'm not upset but my diet and it's many revamps have been approved in the diet section. I gained 10lbs quick then almost nothing since, just a few pounds. I'm getting stronger and more cut though.

Those 10lbs came from the dbol . You are in week 5 the test is just beggining to do it's thing be patient. Adjust diet for your new size and get growing. Don't focus to much in overall weight you might be losing fat and adding lean mass at the same time. If so overall weight wouldn't change much. Good luck

Test has not fully kicked in yet.

On my first cycle I thought that my test was underdosed. I decided to bump it up to 750mg/ew around week 7. The ONLY experience I had from the increased doseage was increased acne. My libido did not go higher, and my strength did not come faster. I wish I would have waited it out with the 500mg. I could have saved quite a few amps.

Keep it at 500mg.

My strength did not improve much until about midway through the 14 week cycle. Test E takes time

I concur with the general voice. The Test e will take about 4 to 5 weeks to really start working. You're experiencing the effects of the dbol . Watch your diet and keep working out hard, you'll get stronger and bigger.
