    Swollen ankles!!

    Just noticed my ankles are a bit swollen. I'll be on week 5 of my trt tomorrow. 200mg test cyp on Fridays. Anastazole 1 mg every Monday and thurs. 250 iu Hcg eod.

    Doc said to start taking the anastazole eod for a while.

    Sounds like my estrogen mat be on its way up. Lol I'm bloating.

    I use to get swollen ankles when on aas way back when. Why not look into splitting your dose every 3.5 days. You can also inject subQ to minimize estrogen.

    When are you due for BW?

    I had this recently despite my e2 being okay, and apparently it could be a side effect from the arimidex itself.

    I'm curious about both your E2 and test levels....you might not need 200mg/week....

    Had same problem when I 1st started HRT 3 years ago. My Cyp dose was too high. Also no HCG or Anastrozole. Gained 25 pds first go around. Now Im on Test E, HCG, and Anastrozole. Still gained some weight but no ankle swelling. Personally think Cyp retains more water than E. Good luck

    I would guess with both your total and free looking that good your test dose does not have to be nearly that high and this is the major cause of the bloat. Also you don't mention bodyfat or hieght weight, I would imagine your bodyfat may be a factor.

    On last thing that would help, drop that pentastar brand, getting spanked by GM's all day long would cause anyone to binge on fatty foods...then of course if you race you have to deal with INDY, Koffel and the like....Mopars and long winters will suck the life out of the best of people ;-) PS just kidding saw your avi and figgured a little good natured ribbing would make you feel at home. PS if you do race...or just fool with muscle cars PM me love to find out other members who enjoy automotive stuff.

    This is my last hole in the wallet,

    Ya I started out on the high end for sure. I've seen a pretty big increase in muscle, strength and weight. 5 weeks ago I was 240 lbs. today I'm at 262lbs. I am 6'6" . I'm 50 yo.

    Strength has increased nicely. Arms looking good. Legs too. At this point I'm not so concerned as I'm going to look awesome for the summer. Lol.

    Once I get my updated blood work I'll be able to see where to go. But right now I'm enjoying the changes- except for the ankles. They are actually a little less swollen today. The anastazole might be working. I may also break up my dosage for e3.5d

    As for my mopars, I'll never change. Had em all my life. Currently have a Cuda and couple of challengers. Just race for fun. Nothing serious. No wheel stands. Just hot rod street cars.

    Just wanted to add that a respected member here name The Titan has experienced this same anomaly and may be able to shed some light on the subject. OP, perhaps you could search him out and ask him to comment.

    Just a suggestion..
