Second week on test cyp...is it ok to quit?

Hi, I am very new to this and I know this question has been answered but I was wondering if anyone could indulge me.

I've started a cycle of 250mg 2x a week of test cypionate. The problem is each time I inject, the injection site is swollen and very painful the next day, along with this I get mild flu symptons.

I am actually a bit scared and have a few questions for anyone who can help:

1. I'm on my third injection so each time it's been a virgin spot (delts left, delts right, legs) and I know this could be a result of the BA or maybe my bodies just not use to it BUT I was wondering if the swollen or flu symptons will EVER disappear?

2. Could I stop my cycle at anytime and hop onto PCT? What am I risking here (any negative side effects for being on a short cycle) besides paying for a lot of gear I won't be using?

3. So far I haven't seen any major strength increases or amazing pumps...I know this could be because it can take 3 weeks to kick in but, if I stop my cycle now, will I see them in the 3rd week even after stopping?

Please somebody help. With the pains and the flu like symptoms it's very hard to continue with my daily life.

You can quit whenever you want.
If this is your first time injecting you should start in the glutes not the delts. Wait until you get more comfortable to move to those areas however you want to make sure you rotate injection sites. When I pin I do in in my glutes and they will be sore for a few days but it's not unbearable, it's something you get used to. As for flu like symptoms, i dont know about that. Never heard of that happening. The only thing I could say for that to try and help them go away would be to get some oil of oregano. That shit works wonders with flu like symptoms. Just get it from vitamin shoppe, get the liquid kind you just put under your tounge and take it the same time you pin. Hopefully it will help get rid of those symptoms.
As for PCT, only doing two pins, you really havnt done much and wouldn't need a pct bc you didn't shut yourself down. You most likely wont see anything after a few weeks either bc it was be completely out of your system bc of it's half life and the Esthers.
 
Yes...the flu symptoms are definitely the worse. I don't mind the swollen and painful injection sites but I can barely get out of bed or concentrate at work.

I don't get how oil of oregano can help with flu's but I think I will pin once more and definitely try it out.

Also, how long of a cycle would I have to be on before I need PCT? I've actually done my 3rd injection (not second)

Well the pain & swelling will go away soon. If this is your first cycle, its just "virgin muscle" This is normal. Also the flu like symptoms are "test flu" You can google that, & see what i mean. You sound like your just suffering a case of rookie-ism. You'll be alright. But if you decide to quit i would still say run some pct, maybe some clomid for a minute. Good luck!
 
Its okay to stop anytime. Just make sure you do a proper post cycle therapy (pct) like you would at the end of the cycle.
 
first thing i would ask.... are you sure the gear is good ? sterile? also, didn't mention your age. if your in mid 20's or less i'd tend to believe you might not even need a post cycle therapy (pct) for two weeks. might do more harm than good running a full length post cycle therapy (pct).
 
I turn 25 next month...it would be awesome if I didn't need PCT as I have tried to find a good source for PCT products but can't find anywhere in Canada to buy (I know we're not allowed to list sources and extensive google search led me to shady looking websites making it very hard to find).

Also, it doesn't look like my testes shrunk at all, I also didn't experience the horniness everyone talked about so I'm wary that the test cyp even kicked in...

I'm pretty sure the gear is legit. It came in a packaged box but to make sure is it ok to attach pictures of gear or is that against the forum rules?

You can post pics. If u look up at the top of the page and click the link with the red lion, youll find your pct.
 
Out of curiosity, what lab test are you using? I experienced the same EXACT thing when I used some shady no-name test I bought off my neighborhood scumbag dealer. Long story short, I was using Scrioxx Test and everything was going fine. I ended up going through my Sciroxx stash and wasn't able to get more, so I panicked and resorted to this shady test to finish off my cycle. Just as you said, right after a blast, I would get flu like symptoms. I would immediately get the chills and lay in bed with a slight fever, not to mention the injection site was EXTREMELY sore (Sciroxx was so smooth I barely felt any soreness). Thankfully, a very kind member on this board pointed me in the right direction and I ditched that sh*t and got some quality gear :)

Best of luck bro. I think it could be the high BA content as well, maybe we don't react well to it. If possible, I'd try switching labs...
 
Oh ok. I've never heard of them but maybe some of the 'ology veterans here can chime in. That's different than what I had...I think it was called Meridian Pharma or something. Anyway, like I said, it could be the high BA content like you speculated that is causing your flu-like reaction. Are any of your buddies running this? Anyone experiencing similar symptoms? Honestly, I'd probably toss it and look elsewhere....
 
Hmmm...it seems Watson is actually one of the most counterfeited brand. I'm definitely not going to continue usage.

So if my last shot was Tuesday, should I start my post cycle therapy (pct) 3 weeks from now and is it ok to just run Nolva?

gona stand by what i said earlier. at 25, being "ON" only two weeks you don't need a post cycle therapy (pct). u'll do more harm to body chemistry than good. there have been people who have done a full cycle and never knew about post cycle therapy (pct) and have come back just fine. sure they lost all their gains but that's another topic. i'd stop if you feel uneasy about it. find some good gear, have post cycle therapy (pct) in your hands and then run a cycle. nothing less
 
Thanks underpsi, I think I'm going to skip the post cycle therapy (pct) and I'll keep you guys updated a month from now on how my body reacts.
