[QUOTE="nakedjoe99, post: 176378, member: 40516"] Wow that does sound alarming. I've had an echocardiogram done and everything was ok. I'm not new to testosterone. I've been on high doses 500mg+ of test and other anabolics for the past ten years. The water retention was always an issue, especially when other compounds were added on top of it. Dosage increases also brought about more water retention. I didnt become sever until the last year or so. Twice I traveled by plane in the past year. Both times I doubled my dose of whatever I was taking to keep me "covered" during the time i was away. Literally, over night I gained 12 - 15 pounds of water each time. The water stayed with me the entire trip until I returned. After the 2nd time, I thought I'd see a doctor. Of course my blood work was horrible. So I went down to just 125mg per week of testosterone for about 4 months. The water slowly went away as my test levels dropped. During this time is when I got the echocardiogram. I just had more bloodwork done a few weeks ago which yielded much better results, however my testosterone was at 305, so I increased my dose to 200mg per week. As soon as I increased it, the same thing happened.. I immediately began to retain water again overnight. But, yes, during the night, I get up to urinate quite frequently. Which has always been the case. Most of the water is gone in the morning and my abs are visible. During the day, the water accumulates and by night I look like a bag of milk. My stomach does, but my extremities are vascular and lean and striated. Note: when I had sever reactions in the past when I gained 12 -15 pounds of water, yes, my ankles and calves also swelled... pitting adema. But normally, there is very little to no water at my extremeties. [/QUOTE]
