When I first started PM, I want to say it took about 4 months before I noticed real growth going on under the skin (budding/new tissue), so to speak, rather than just fat redistribution. I've since had two breaks in my regime, and it takes me about 6 weeks before I notice those growing signs again. It varies per person, but the amount you listed in the original post sounds low (IIRC posters tend to state around 500mg is what they use just to maintain when they aren't seeking new growth). I use Barlowe's brand, which is 550mg per pill, and I follow a 4 week schedule that ramps it up and down so I'm taking between 1100 to 2200 a day (2x-4x) during a regular month.
