First cycle, 5th week water retention
ad
First cycle pinning 300mg test e daily with the occasional break. Entering 5th week now. I have been retaining so much water systemic and look weird and bloated. I feel fat and just not doing great with the way I look now. No other high e2 symptoms.
No alcohol. Beyond cardio, upping electrolytes, lower sodium intake what else can I do to address this? I am about to cut out dairy as well since I’m intolerant but been having lots of it. I’m going to schedule bloods right away.

A lot of dairy and sugar bloats me up anytime regardless of AAS. A bender weekend of ice cream and cookies and I have full blown cankles and triple chin.
Be honest, are you obese? If you are having issues like that on 300g and I hope you mean a week, then you need to either reduce it or drop the cycle.
3tractorfriesYES IT WAS A TYPO GUYS I APOLOGIZE. 300 A WEEK! OF COURSE GUYS =_=
First cycle pinning 300mg test e daily
So 2100mg a week......just stop....
3tractorfriesYes that was a typo, my mistake, and I almost had a heart attack because I thought you wanted me to stop my somewhat reasonable cycle cold turkey.
Privatemdlabs....quest etc. Check your e2 levels and uncapped test.
Yup none of his other questions matter if this is not a typo
I think (hope) that was a typo
You can add DIM and dandelion supps to help with water retention. Both can be found on Amazon.
DIM really is a game changer for water retention no moon face for me
3tractorfriesYes that was a typo and thank you very much for reminding me of DIM. Has been acquired. Will update with fresh bloods.
What's your stats how old are you, bf%, diet....
3tractorfries25m, 15-16% bf, mostly vegetarian diet shit ton of legumes, cottage cheese, cheese, milk , avocado toast with the occasional burger. Around week 4 is when the water retention spiked and this coincides with increased dairy intake + sugar intake. Thanks
300mg daily? Do you mean weekly, split over daily pins?
Whens the last time you got labwork done? Youre "guessing" you need the AI
Keep your diet in check, and you can also try drinking more water. Drink more to release more
3tractorfriesBloodwork before I started the cycle, yes that was a typo. 300 a week pinning daily. diet is in check. I drink a rough gallon a day but will need to track and up my water intake. Thank you. My mistake is delaying my followup bloods and I will fix that.
