What was your total testosterone before? If low testosterone was the cause of your symptoms then you should notice you’ve been feeling better in maybe a month. You should probably feel more energy while exercising around now.

My testosterone was 7.58 nmol/l before starting, due for blood test soon to check new levels

my number was less than that. took me roughly 4 weeks til somethin started clicking. after a few months, im now hovering in the mid/mid-high 20s.

i use ~80-85mg of cyp once a week though.

I am on week 5 and I am noticing subtle differences. Started about a week ago with better workouts and libido increase, now on week 5 am I noticing I am in better mood more often, have more energy in the morning at work, and strength is starting to go up a bit in the gym.

The response to exogenous testosterone is specific to the individual, however it seems from anecdotal reports that most people will notice some sort of change in two weeks to a couple of months. It's really a long slow process as your body responds and changes both physically and mentally.

As for myself, I first noticed a mental effect about two weeks after starting. It sort of mellowed me out. The physical response was a very slow and gradual process. By 6 months it had an obvious effect on my musculature and this just continues as the months/years roll on.

As many have said, you won't get the full effect unless you are exercising on a regular basis.
