Wow! I think i need help....and how!!

Hi
First I would like to thank the guys who gave me some advice with my first post, just starting out. But, something is wrong here, and I think I may be screwing myself up.

Long story short. I am on wk 4 of test cyp. Dosage were..100, 150, 150, 200. MD does injections, amount based on blood tests. Now, I thank him for being the only md who started me on T when my test blood work was around 250, but he is not exactly the best informed, so I have tried to read and learn....

He thinks I dont need anything for aromatizing, I disagree Since he won't prescribe anything, I went out, researched and pickup up so research chemicals.....liquidex. So, after 4 weeks of T injections, my nipples were very sensitive. I figured out that I should take 7 days of 1 mg liquidex, every day and then 1 mg every third day. Well, after 3 days my nipples are starting to feel better. I was pumped.....it seemed I had done the proper research and now I was getting better...............OR SO I THOUGHT.

I was hopping in the shower tonight, took off my pants, and then my dress socks and ..........I almost fell on the floor. Where the elastic support is on my socks, on the top......a LINE HAD DUG INTO MY FLESH, LEAVING A DIVOT ALL AROUND MY CALF, AT LEAST 1/2 INCH DEEP!!!! So, while I was shocked, I THINK that this is a sign of water retention, but a bit much, NO?

I hopped on the scale, and sure enough.......I had lost 6 lbs in 6 weeks, a nice pace for me......but it seemed that all six lbs have come back AND a few more to boot.........but my diet is decent and I am doing p90x at a good pace too.

Why am I retaining all this (an hour later, the 1/2 inch divot is still there, a bit less, but not much..) I thought liquidex would help me with retention.....the nipple pain is almost entirely gone, so it must be doing something. Shoot, just noticed my ankles are HUGE. I usually have horse ankles, thin as hell, but I got KEGANKLES now........this sucks...

ANY ADVICE, I THINK I NEED HELP HERE...thanks

Water retention. Think you may need to find a thread or two by Kale to figure out how to do the arimidex (liquidex).

you are sueing too much adex ,you want to be running around 0.25-0.5mgs every other day ,after a week or two all the warter you have retained will drop off and you want gain any more , run the adex on your whole cycle ,how long you running your t for?

He had started on TRT,if he comes back to see this and has not done so go see a Doc with exp in these matters,such as an Endo.

This typical for cyponate. first come back and tell us your body fat index.
meanwhile avoid sodium like the plague. start doing more cardio - make yourself sweat like a race horse as much as you can.
Tell your doc about the water retention and come back and tell us what he says. Most doctors don't know much about this area.
These side effects are typical of someone that does not have a low enough body fat index. that is why we suggest not doing it until it is around 12% or less.
