Water retention Test P issue....???

[GrimmReaper]

Is it common to gain 7-10lbs of water weight after a week of starting my cycle below? First cycle I have ran in about 6 years so decided to just do test p only, just don't remember this happening in the past when I would cycle with prop....

wks 1-8 150mg test p EOD

Currently running aromasin at 25mg ED, minimal sodium in diet, diet is in check.

Forgot to mention, also running HCG 2X week at 250 iu

It was with me but it was an E2 issue due to aromasin not being strong enough to keep my E2 in range. Switched AIs and the water disappeared in 4 days.

Chicago- what did you switch to?

[Chicagotarsier]

Adex
Aromasin AI question. Vet help requested.
The guys were spot on. Aromasin was perfect for my trt but on cycle it just could not keep the E2 low enough.

I would add that I was smart enough to do 3 things...

1. Do blood work to check my E2 which clued me in on the why.
2. Ask here on the forums to get the "How to fix it" answer
3. Ordered adex and had it here before my cycle started because aromasin was an unknown at the levels of test for my cycle.

How much Adex did you run ED?

[Chicagotarsier]

700 test P and started with .25 mg adex. I will be taking labs next week on my E2 to see if I need adjustments but I am confident from the water loss that I am in range. Just giving it 2 weeks of dose so my system gets to equilibrium.

[GrimmReaper]

How long did you drop some of the water weight after switching to adex?

[GrimmReaper]

Anyone else?

I've noticed within a day or two.

Arimidex should be doses eod
