Everybody's different. You might not get any sides at all. My opinion is have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand in case you do start noticing sides which you might not. Im not saying this is the best advice but since it's your first cycle, I wouldn't run it through your whole cycle, have it just in case, that way you know how your body reacts to it and if you have bloat or acne from test alone. If you run it throughout your cycle you won't know if your prone to sides or not cuz the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) will be combating them the whole time. Just my opinion. Plus if your not prone this cycle and your 2nd cycle you throw another compound in, say deca, and you get sides, then you know what it's from. How long does source abc say shipping will take? Test has a 2 week ester and bloat and acne won't start on day onE when it kicks in so as long as your AI's on it's way I say pin it up. Just my opinion.
