    How many of you are on diuretics for water retention on TRT?

    Man I hope you are right! 2 months in and the water retention around my mid section and chest is awful. Decades of eating cleaning/lifting/cardio erased by 8lbs of water instantly!!

    Started too high (for me at least) of 75mg 2x a week and had to go to 55mg 2x a week. Numbers are good now, 600@trough, E2 25. Gym work has been good too. Nothing crazy but some strength and endurance gains. I have never actually had my bf tested, but I had (pre water retention) flat stomach...

    When to be concerned with high HCT

    got my 6 week bloods done and my HCT is a hair below 50%. pre TRT I hovered around the mid-40s. I have found myself out of breath on walks with my kids, but can go crush a pretty intense workout session. Should I be concerned? I lots of water helps, but anything else? If it matters...

    The average man produces 7mg of testosterone per day, so why take so much TRT?

    Sorry yes I meant 100-200mg a week. Wouldn’t that put the avg guy wayyyy over what the avg guy naturally produces. Why does it only elevate T to the higher end or “normal”.

    The average man produces 7mg of testosterone per day, so why take so much TRT?

    Heard fellow TRT guy say the average male produces 7mg of testosterone a day. Why do most of us take between 100-200mg a week and not have through the roof T levels?

    New guy not feeling very good after first two injections

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
