heavy bloating? also need help between 100mg or 50mg x2

[joedogg9999]

Hey guys, im on about week 6 of trt and im experiencing heavy bloating on the 3 days following a T shot. Its really uncomfortable. I feel like I need to burp with the force of 1000 angry gods. My pants are even uncomfortably tight. I know elevated e2 levels can cause this but im not really feeling other symptoms of high e2. My REM and morning woods are rediculous, but I habe had slight nipple tenderness.

For the first 5 weeks I was doing 100mg 1x a week and at about week 2 my libido was off the charts but then subsided so I switched to 50mg 2x week. When I was doing 100mg the bloating lasted the same 3 days but then I had the other 4 days of the week with no bloating. But now when im doing 50mg , im bloated for 3 days after EACH shot so im bloated every single day. Again, my libido was off the charts for the first week I switched to that new method but again its subsiding.

Im still awaiting my bloodwork results so ill post them asap. My protocol is 50mg test cyp x2 a week, 100iu Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) ED, no ai.

Im really torn between 100 x1 or 50 x2. I wasnt really having a come-down period on 100 it was just me trying to releive the bloating and minor nipple aches/itchiness. However it seems 50x2 isnt really changing much. Is 100x1 more beneficial for muscle building since the peak test is higher?

You said "im not really feeling other symptoms of high e2", well my friend the slight nipple tenderness is a symptom of high E2. What you are describing with the bloating and nipple tenderness is exacly what I experienced, my doctor prescribed me a Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and that has taken care of everything and my E2 has come down.

You also want to make sure you are drinking lots of water, as weird as it sounds the more water you drink the less your body will hold on to.

What about the strong wood? Any explanation on the peroids of high libido that subside?

 

[Cheph]

Ya definitely sounds like high e2. also check your diet it might also cause some bloating

 

[Spunkey71]

The high libido is a result of having test, what makes you a man, running through your system. Enjoy it, if your E2 gets too high or too low then you could start to suffer from ED.

I guess my e2 is fluctuating a fair amount considering my libido keeps coming and going.

I started taking Cialis because it helps to keep your blood pressure down and is good for your prostate all items that you could and I stress could develope issues with from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and rock hard wood all the time is just a bonus!

So my doc called me with my results.

TT = 1093
e2 = 25
prolactin = normal

this bw was done on a tuesday. My last injection was the saturday before, so about 60-72 hours after T shot was taken. 100mg t cyp , 100iu Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) ed, and no Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Im very satisfied with those numbers. Perfect. Maybe the sysmptons was my body adjusting to the hormones balancing out.

I am not due for labs for another two weeks, I would kill for my results to come back like those!

i wonder if this is more a diet issue??

 

[joedogg9999]

My diet hasnt changed one bit since starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and ive never bloated like this before. Definitely a new issue

Most guys don't do Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) everyday. That might be your issue. Twice a week may be better. I'll let the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) experts chime in.

Get labs run on the day you feel bloated. You might be getting a spike. If you don't want to wait to go through your doc, you can use Private MD - Buy Lab Tests Online and get the Hormone Panel for Females (which is for men too). It costs about $50 and you get the results a day or two later.

Oh... And do you know what your hematocrit is?

I started off doing 250iu 2x a week before my t shot and I was getting more obvious symptoms of e2. Nipples were real itchy and tender. Not only that, my boys were aching and my ejaculate was lacking. While doing 100 a day all that has gone away. Maybe I should do 5x a week and skip t ejection days
