First cycle of test prop I need help

PED/cycle help

I’ve just started my first cycle of testosterone propionate, injecting every two days. I’m in my first week and have done three injections so far at 50mg each (150mg total).

Since starting, I’ve noticed a dull ache in my testicles—similar to the feeling of being kicked—and I’m unsure if this is normal, especially at what I consider a relatively low dose.

My original plan was to stay at this dose for a few weeks to see how my body responds before increasing it. However, after looking online, I’m seeing a lot of conflicting advice.

So now I’m unsure what to do:

•	Should I stop now and stay natural?

•	Push through and see if the discomfort settles?

•	Or consider running HCG alongside the testosterone?

This is my first cycle, and while I’ve spoken to people who have experience and great results, none of them mentioned having this kind of issue.

I’d really appreciate some clear advice from anyone who’s been in a similar situation.
