Test E vials losing potency after first pin

[MediumSalsa]

Hey all,

I know this is a weird one but I swear I researched this to exhaustion and couldn't find anything so I'm counting on you guys for insight. Wrapping up a 1st cycle, test e 500/week split over two pins weekly, AI is Asin 12.5 ed. It's a 16 week so I've gone into my 4th vial of 250/ and I swear each vial has lost a significant amount of potency by about halfway through. Storage is room temp, away from light. I start to plateau, not feel as awesome, gain a little more fat than I'd been carrying, and then I move over to a new vial and boom, back on top again. I know when I've hit that sad point in the vial only because I feel so supreme at the start of the next, placebo's been effectively ruled out. If I weren't at the end of this long cycle, I wouldn't have the confidence to bring this to the forum, but you have my word that I waited and watched until I just can't tell myself it's in my head any more.

I'm trying to spare you all the superfluous info like age, weight, etc because it really shouldn't bear on what I'm asking, but if I'm wrong just let me know what gaps to fill in and I'd be happy to help. I'm meticulous with swabbing the top of the vial, maintaining the sterility of the pin prior, etc. Mostly I just want to know if anyone has heard of this or experienced it, and what can be done to prevent it. I don't want to leave money on the table like that, and I certainly don't want to waste my time with dud pins on cycle.


All responses are appreciated, thanks everyone!

Unless you're pinning crashed gear (it's cloudy), I'm sorry - but it's placebo. The hormones in the condition you state can last for YEARS, unless there's a ridiculous amount of BA in there - which you would know immediately due to insane PIP.

I wish I had a great explanation for you, but the mind is a powerful thing, and hence why placebo is even used in studies outside a control group. If you truly believe something, your brain makes it so.

True that.

Thanks Halfwit (the proper noun ). Definitely no crash, perfectly clear. I guess I'm okay accepting that and barreling though. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving any stones unturned before I started silencing myself.

Have you even heard of anyone else experiencing anything similar, placebo or otherwise? Now I'm curious just how wary of placebo I need to be around myself.

You're getting a bit deep here buddy, and you're doing far too much thinking...

Quite simple... pin your gear, eat appropriately for your goals - and train like a beast.

Different injection spots have different absorption rates that is all I can really think of but it still shouldnt effect your testosterone levels in any way you could feel. I tend to get paranoid and have the placebo effect on everything, I would recommend getting blood work done to put your suspicions at ease if it extremely bothers you.
