I got my first shot today, so I'm hoping I notice some changes as early as you.

Congrats on your first shot!

I helped someone move today and i felt so good lifting as long and as heavy of things as the other young men. I dont really pass and i'm not "out" to these family members. Now, at the end of the day i smell AWFUL and i feel so good about that. it's weird to feel good about something that also feels normal.

That's awesome, mate :)

Regarding the changes you've listed - I would say that most of those things are possibly due to the T itself, especially the smell as that is almost immediate.  But I'd also say that some of it's probably a psychological effect of the relief of being on T at last.  Congrats and keep us updated.

P.S. - Don't fall into the "scrutinising for changes" trap.  They'll happen in good time, but don't expect them to happen in 2 weeks.

Good luck

I'm on day 2 and I'm trying not to read too much into it but I definitely just noticed a change in stamina. I've been working since the before the sunrise and going all day without getting tired, whereas before I would have been tired before even getting started. FEEL THE POWER. Also, my mouth tastes like I've been sucking on a penny. What?

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I was like "Am I going insane or does my mouth taste completely different?" Weird. Still tastes different too, guess it's here to stay.

I didn't notice this until I read your post and now the penny flavor is so noticeable!

Yeah, the metallic taste can be a side effect - I've not personally experienced it though.

ha! i felt eh same XD

first day on T my throat felt tight all day. didn't really relax after that still feels tight. hungry all the time, though im only super hungry the first week after my shot and as it tapers off so does my appetite.

i remember being 2 days on T and going for a run, which i never do, because i can't run very far, but i could run forever without a problem. and then the next day i was so sore it was horrible XD but it felt nice at least.

now im 3 weeks on T and really the only added change i can tell is my feet are getting bigger, my workout shoes don't fit anymore XD they were kind of tight before but there real bad now. also stretching. i cannot stop stretching my back and shoulders.

Congratulations! :)

I definitely felt some immediate effects, and I'm sure you aren't imagining all of yours.
