First peptide cycle — what's actually happening (BPC+Ipa)

The first one is always the biggest mental hurdle. Good on you.

Day 3: first injection went fine. Barely felt the pin. Second one was painless. Bruised slightly on the third. No weird feelings.

The ipa hunger can be gnarly. Have a protein shake at 10pm so you don't raid the fridge.

Week 2: elbow pain maybe 20% better? Hard to tell. Ipamorelin has me hungry at like 10pm.

Good progress for a first cycle. Don't chase higher doses, the effect is mostly there at what you're running.

Week 4: elbow pain definitely less. Can hang off pullup bar without pain, which I couldn't two months ago. Sleep is weirdly vivid on ipa.

Week 6 wrap-up: elbow pain maybe 70% resolved. Will probably run another 4 weeks then cut. Biggest lesson was that injecting is way less scary than I built it up to be in my head.

This is encouraging. I'm nervous too and planning my first cycle.

Happy for you. Elbow stuff is so annoying.

The vivid dreams thing is wild, yeah. I'm on week 2 of a similar stack and my sleep is just different, kinda hard to describe. How are you handling the subq injections now, like does the site get sore or anything? Thinking about running another round after this but want to know what to expect logistically.
