First Cycle - Test E Shrinkage

[lwhich]

He ladies and gents
I'm about to embark on my first cycle, the standard 500mg Test E/week for 10 weeks. I'm 21, and my balls are nice and full... How long until I start to see shrinkage? How small will they get?
All I can imagine is the little prunes you get when you're cold as fuck. Is this an accurate comparison?
Before you ask, i don't have access to Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) during/after my cycle, I'll just have my nolva/clomid PCT.
Thanks!

I would say "standard" would be more like 12 weeks, but whatever you want to do.... Anyway, Im in week 6 and I have had little to no shrinkage.

I've been shut down for a little over 3.5 years due to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and the big difference is that the boys cling to me more than they used to. If I press on my scrotum, I can tell that they're about half the size they used to be, but during sex (when it matters imo) they seem to be about normal size. I have had the wife comment on the size being a little smaller, but she likes the fact that my spunk has less to it and "tastes better". I'm not going to argue with that and can say it's not as big of a deal as most make it out to be.

I'll leave the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) comments to someone else though as I've never really played with it since I'm done with kids and as seen above am enjoying my "prunes".

On my first cycle now and I didn't really notice if they shrank or not till about week five... in my experience they lost about a third of their size maybe? And like halfwit said the thing you'll notice most is they're up closer to you not dangling down like a Christmas tree ornament anymore

I'm starting wk 6 tomorrow and have not noticed any shrinkage, still dangling like beyonce boobies

Edit- test e 625mg/wk 16wks

Everyone is different, not all experience significant atrophy. I usually start to experience it around week 5. I do however feel them start to shutdown (aches in my nuts on and off) around week 2 or 3.

I experienced almost no atrophy at 500 mgs of test e per week. When I came off I could feel them grow back a little bit but they hadn't shrunk much at all to begin with. Different people experience different degrees of suppression.

Mine usually start shrinking half way through the cycle but some people's don't. So I guess the best answer would be, everyone has a different reaction and no two people are the same.
