I just started TRT 4 weeks ago. In that time I've gained 15 lbs and my face and neck seem super bloated. I would really like to know why.

My Endo got me on the following regimine:

1) 140 mg/week test cyp
2) 500 IU HCG every day
3) 0.25 mg arimidex every day

I just got my blood work back and it showed:
Testosterone > 1500 (normal between 250-946)
E2 Sensitive = 30 ( normal between 10-39)

In short my test level is way too high but my E2 is normal. I will dial back the test to 100mg/wk and see what happens.

I thought high E2 is what causes weight gain and bloat. Can the high T be causing it?
