[QUOTE="GeauxBears, post: 48384, member: 5724"] I've been on TRT since March or so. Protocol is stable shooting 20mg T + 150iu HCG ED, 0.125mg anastrozole EOD. For the past couple of months I have been struggling with water retention, about 8 lbs or so extra than normal. It is manifesting mostly in my neck and face although my pants feel a bit tighter also. Cycling 3x/week, desk job so I drink plenty of water. We initially tried low-dose HCTZ 25mg ED which worked very well, and I lost that 8 lbs within a week or so. After 30 days, we stopped treatment and the bloating came back. Researching here and thinking possible elevated E2, I ran labs thru Discountedlabs: T: 804 FT: 19.4 Sens-E2: 23.9 That's about the best set of labs I've ever had. Any thoughts? I don't remember struggling with this prior to TRT, but that could be a coincidence. Other than this I am doing fantastic. No other signs of E2 issues. I plan to discuss with Dr. Saya next appointment, but wanted to see if anyone has struggled with the same? [/QUOTE]
