400mg/week is a cycle.
At that dose you will definitely need an AI.
If you have a doctor's appointment in a month you should stop immediately fooling around and go back to your prescribed amount of test.
Running a high dosage is not safe over the long term.
The water retention you are experiencing is from the increased estrogen levels in your body.

What tests have been done to determine the reason for your low T? If you have blood test results, please post them. What is your current prescribed dose? Is it still supposed to be 100mg every two weeks? Lots of problems with where you are now, but start giving us some more info to see what we can do to help. Do not continue the 400mg/wk....100mg a week at the most but Id like to know what your script is to be specific.

What deadlift dog said.

test at 400ml can be dangerous over the long term, if you want a blast I suggest visiting the cycle threads on your first cycle if you want to go that route. When cycling you should have a clear and precise plan to follow, going up and down every week is a recipe for disaster with your body and endocrine system. Go back down and level out your body and hormones and visit the doctor. Do some research if you want a blast.
