TEST-E First Cycle! Are these side effects normal?

[shutupandsquat]

Hey y'all,

Just started my first cycle this week. I'll first briefly list my specs and my cycle so y'all have an idea of where I'm at. I am trying to gain mainly size, and strength. I have done a lot of work and research on my diet, and its on point.

Stats
age: 23
height: 5'10
weight: 185lbs
body fat percentage: 15%
Experience: 5 years

My cycle is the following

12 weeks at 400mg's per week. PCT - nolva.

I'm pinning 2 times a week, 200mgs each pin. I have been pinning my vastus lateralis (alternating of course).

Now my first two shots were pretty sore but the pain would be gone within 3 days. No swelling, no redness, no tenderness. From what I've collected this is pretty normal, however the day of both of my shots I felt an elevation in body temperature, like a light fever. Thats all I've been feeling. I'm kind of nervous and a bit paranoid since this is my first cycle, and I just want to make sure I'm doing things right. Is this normal? Please critique my cycle or anything else if needed.

Thanks!

nervous and paranoid. I'm on my first cycle so far. Done 10 shots. The first few were creepy. Now a breeze. Relax, breath, and do it right, and you'll be ok.

Part of it could be test flu. I and a few others I know experienced it on our first cycles

Welcome mate. you should start your own thread instead of hijacking someone elses.

but your kidding, right? 4 weeks? that's it??

I can help you out. Not being a smart asss, but spend more time in the gym. Some of us live in the gym, and only get incremental results.

No one sees much of anything their very first 4 weeks.

Now.....

let's get back to OP

I'm in the middle of my first cycle also, test-e 500/wk. Muscles get a little tender each time I pin but less and less each time....I also sometimes get a little " heated " after pinning....not so much right after I pin but later in the day....I get hot flashes sometimes too, woke up a couple of times at night sweating my arse off....doesn't really bother me much anymore, Hell, I kinda like it ! As long as you steralize (sp?) And asperate you will be fine.....trust me, I like pinning now, but on my first one I was nervous, took me about 20 min just to work up the nerve to do it....

I can help Benny. Simply go to the Q&A Forum. When there, you'll see a blue tab that says "post new thread." Click on it and you'll be there.

You're probably still a little anxious over the shot. You'll be fine. Might want to consider using clomid w/that nolva.

U know cycling @ ur age significantly increases the likelihood of potentially irreversible damage 2 ur undeveloped Endocrine / HPTA. And according to ur profile, ur 22 not 23.

My piss changes drastically when I'm on cycle.
;P

The Bear 79,

I'm turning 23 tomorrow...posted a couple of days ago, so I figured I'd just say 23. And could you please elaborate a bit on the irreversible side effects you mentioned? Or perhaps, direct me to a website or books were I can read more about it. Thanks for your input!

You are on the website that tells you about the irreversible damage you could be causing.

bump for curious on how this kids doing....

Haven't been feeling any side effects at all anymore. Injection site is barely sore for a couple of days, no more hot flashes. Getting stronger, gaining weight. I'm excited, and its only week 2!
