Tired and holding water

[Tlow]

Hi Guys,

I started on trt in April and have been adjusting then doses to a final of 100 of test cyp at 2 shots of 50 a week every 3.5 days, to shots a week of Hcg at 500 each and a half mg of arimidex a week. All of my numbers are good my rbc, hemocrat, and hemoglobin, have all leveled out and my est is at 22. If I take higher doses of test I have to donate blood and feel even more sluggish. Any ideas why I’m so sluggish and holding water? No matter I do I can’t lose the weight it’s really discouraging.

thank you in advance

Have you tried stopping your arimidex. That may be causing your issues?

No I haven’t but I’m going to talk to my dr about it when I see him. Is there any possibility that it could be the Cypionate? In other words aside from the release time and the length of time in the body is it possible I would possibly respond better to ethenate? That’s what I was also going to ask my dr about when I see him. Have you ever come across anyone ever having better results with Trst E or Test Cyp. Thank you Vince!!

Yes, testosterone can caused water retention. I it doesn’t matter what type of testosterone.

HCG can also cause water retention. HCG, although therapeutic for many, can increase estrogen and, anecdotally, can cause lethargy.

Water Retention Caused by Testosterone May Have Nothing to Do with Estradiol

I get a lot of emails from men on testosterone replacement therapy (and/or HCG) that feel they have water retention (some with ankle swelling) and they are puzzled that their estradiol is low or below 35 micrograms/ml. They may have tried anastrozole treatment without any success in decreasing...
