Edema on TRT

I take 100 mg Test Cyp once a week. I seem to get edema around day 5 thru 7. Then when I take my next shot it goes away. I would have thought edema would be worse when test levels are higher but seems to be just the opposite for me.

Any ideas why or anyone else experience this? Thanks
 
How long have you been on test cyp? I had fairly good bit of edema when I first started but gradually went away after about 5-6 weeks and hasn't returned.

I been on it somewhere between 5 and 10 years. I've always had it just ignored it. I was just trying to figure out why it was worse at the end of the week when my test levels should be lower.

I'm fixing to read everything madman posted.

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.
