Well I know the obvious answer is bloodwork, so im going to start looking into that. Just thought Id post my situation. Im almost 7 weeks into test 500mg/wk cycle. Was taking test e at first just switched to test bled, e/c/p. I have gained about 10 pounds(gained it in the first 4 weeks though on test e so think it was more to do with cal increase than aas). I just am not sure if my shit is real or not. I am stronger for sure. More vascular, and people are commenting on me bulking etc. Labido is good, but always was, feels a bit stronger but might just be in my head. I have adex for ai. Started out taking .25 eod, felt it was to much, took a week of then went .25 e3d. My joints are sore, shoulders and knees. Seems to be worse day after adex dosage?? I have been stuck at same weight for past couple weeks, and am eating 500 plus above maint, even more as Ive loosened up and eating more than enough 1 meal a day. macros are on point. bcaa during workout, multi, creatine. I feel like Im doing everything right. Long story short I have made some gains and feel good but dont know for sure?? I havent had that feeling of ""I feel like im on test!!!!!"", and my gains havent been out of this world. Not sure if I was expecting to much, or what. My main concern is taking ai if I got fake aas, and I dont want to pct for nothing. So, guess Ill look into an online bloodwork option as I dont have primary doc or anything. Any input would be great, thanks
