Unusual sides from Test E cycle....

Hey... I am on week 7 of my first ever cycle (500 mg test e/ week). Having some very unusual side effects it seems after doing extensive research online.

I gained 25 lbs so far... seemed to have flatlined with weight gain for a week or so.

Don't feel motivated to lift, which totally backwards... I usually live for the gym.

Appetite is not there at all. Been supplementing many calories with a gallon of whole milk a day to hit my macros.

No sex drive at all and boners are almost non existent and never full.

I do have a higher body fat; 20% approximately.... but I do not have sensitive nipples or obnoxious water retention so I was thinking high estrogen levels were not the culprit.

Any input would be appreciated. It's really not bothering me that much, I'm just completely confused as to why my side effects are so abnormal and if it's ever been similar for anyone else.
 
Are you using an AI? you might be over dosing that.

I have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand but have not taken it at all because from what I've researched, I do not need it regarding little water retention and no gyno symptoms..... so no Aromatase inhibitor (AI) at the moment

25lbs of what?

Sound like high estro Bro.

I'm sure a bit of it is water. My strength is way up and everyone says I look bigger (I don't think I do, yet I probably have body dysmorphia as many of us do lol)

I know the look and feeling of bloat and I really just don't feel it... starting the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) wouldn't hurt though just to see what happens I guess.... .25 arimidex eod

Yes I agree with crazy mike. I would start at .5eod if your having these issues now.
 
even if you don't have sore nipples that does not mean your estrogen is not high.Start taking arimidex at 0.5 eod.From what you described it looks you have an estrogen problem.
 
Yup take your adex. Within a few days you gonna love life again. Dont get discouraged if u drop some weight either.
