water retension

[pyramid]

I have been on Trt for about 2.5 years at test 150mg a week, hcg 300iu 3x a week, arimidex .5mg 3x a week, I feel good at this dose but I seem to be retaining water especially in face. Anything I can do to change this, adjustment in dose or change in diet. Thanks..

this one will have to be for the trt experts at such a low dose and taking a AI I would have to guess its your diet.

Based on your protocol I doubt it's related to elevated E2 but you still should get it tested.

Get the e levels checked and just out of curiosity are you eating lots of food with high amounts of sodium?

yup, blood test is the only way to tell if your E2 is elevated.

& how much water are you drinking on a daily basis? Should be getting about a gallon/ day otherwise your body will try to hang on to what it's got. Survival mechanism passed on to us by our caveman ancestors.

Yes lots of sodium, and probably too much caffine and not enough water consumption.

Well there you have it then!

WARNING ! ( Not an expert 53 and on TRT for 1 month ) I abuised roids in my 20's but I do know from my proven experience that I have seen selfevident results 30 yrs ago and now I started the " water Bombing ; 2 gal a day " 2 weeks before TRT and about 2 weeks into doctor regulated TRT I balooned gained 10+ lbs and I freaked started gaining fluid in my fingers and waist . I maintained workouts and high fluid intake and now 4 weeks in I am below my weight of 1st injection and I am convienced it was just my body adjusting to the water and retaining it as I have had a past history of dehydration. I have lost visible size in my waist and fingers and joints all feel better !

Any expert is welcome to correct me these are just the results I have seen in the very recent 6 weeks with a water intake goal of 2 gals a day ?
