I’m questioning the quality/dosage of some test cyp I’m using and wanted opinions.

Quick context: I’ve been on TRT (from an online clinic) 200mg split 2x/week since Dec 2025 with great results, only mild E2 issues managed with an AI. On 3/22/26 I started a 500mg blast (daily pins) using a verified UGL and brand.

Now in week 3, I’ve noticed some muscle loss and a dip in energy/performance. I know hormones fluctuate early on, but should that cause muscle loss?

Do you think this points to under-dosed gear, normal hormonal adjustment, or a protocol issue?

I was planning bloodwork at week 6, but now considering testing the vial sooner
