Day 6 and 7 update.
2x250mg late morning and night.
Starting on day 6, after the morning dose, the testicle ache became more pronounced. Not in any way too extreme and more focused on my left one, but definitely noticeable.
Also of note, I got my first comment from my SO about my puffy nipples. I was walking around in my undershirt and they were clearly sticking out of my shirt while not erect. That typically only happens if I am about 10-15 lbs heavier than I am currently. I definitely can't attribute it to overall weight gain as I have been watching what I eat closely and have been visibly dropping body fat.
Erections have been mostly non-existent on days 6 and 7. The few times I've started with one, it subsides quickly. For science, I was able to maintain one with more effort than normal and finish to completion. It definitely felt a little different than normal with the sensation being "spread out" more. Ejaculate appeared normal.
Last night (day 7) after taking my evening dose, I felt like my heart was pounding and I felt very restless. I hardly got any sleep and woke up sick. I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the BO and is just a viral bug that's going around but I am taking today off from BO.
After only a week, I am a firm believer in BO. So much so that I'm not sure if I'm going to continue at this dosage. The effects have come on harder and faster than it seems I was prepared for. If I do continue to take it, it will probably be a lower dose but I'm going to let whatever bug I have run it's course before restarting.
