Hello Symtex,
If you injected 100mg, then, in a 24 period of time you would have metabolized 6-8 mg of the testosterone cypionate.
Averaging out to be 36-70mg/week dosage. Possibly you can feel some extra energy! However that is a small amount of testosterone and it is most likely placebo effect! You will be at full 200mg/week(28mg/day) after about 20-31 days! If this is your dosage that is. Typically it is notice after about two weeks as by then the testosterone levels have built up a lot in your system.

Make sure you test estradiol, that seems like a lot of arimidex. I'm on the same dose of T and I'm considering going down from .75mg to .5 mg per week - you'd be at 3mg per week! My E2 has generally tested under 20 on .75mg.
EDIT: misread e3d as 3/week - still quite a lot at 2.33 mg /week

I was thinking about breaking it down to .5 e3d and see how I react. I have a bit of pubertal gyno, so I am afraid of that.
Total test-182
LH-5.0
Prolactin-4.6
Estradl-19.9
Psa- .7
These were the numbers I remember off the top of my head. I was tested last summer and was at 353 total test, so that was a pretty big drop.

Start low with the arimidex. Driving your estradiol into the ground is about the worst feeling in the world. I would recommend starting at .25mg every 3.5 days. Get blood work and see how that is working and adjust as indicated.

I'd recommend lowering your dosage to 100mgs PER WEEK, and avoiding the ai altogether until 6 week bloods.

Hard to say, but it could be real.
My first injection was 400 mg. I did not notice feeling any different than before. But a day after the injection I went to the gym expecting that my workout would be no different than normal.
Instead, I did more reps than normal on every one of my exercises, typically going from 12 to 16. Normally I would do about 20 to 25 sets before fatiguing out. That day I did 40 sets and the reason I stopped was not because of fatigue, but because I had done everything that I wanted to do.
So I can believe that you could feel an effect within a day.

What made you do sub-q? I would like to hear your results if you stick with that. So far the reviews have been mixed with most people agreeing that IM is the best way to take test.

I inject sub-q about twice a week using 29 gauge half inch needles. It is easy and almost painless. It works well for me.
But I have found that the maximum amount for a single injection is about 0.5 cc. At about that amount, I start to get bumps and ichyness. So it's not so good for cycles.

I thought I was injecting sub-q, but I am probably injecting IM. I use a half-inch needle on my inner thigh. Feeling the spot with muscle tensed, the muscle seems to be much closer to the surface than one-half inch. Also, half way in the needle meets more resistance and I have to make sure my muscle is relaxed.
