So I'm getting bloat / moonfaced on Trt. anyone have this problem or have a treatment to this Please. So I take 0.05 Test c twice a week. "low dose". and Hcg 25 units twice a week. and B-12 injects. and started taking anastrozole 0.14 twice a week. any thoughts what I could do. the moonfaced really bothers me. and diet is clean, besides drinking beer 2 weeks ago one night. and Estradiol 26.9..

What is 0.05 test c twice a week. How much is that ???

Beer two weeks ago...OMG ........... No just kidding that is not a problem even if you were some beer everyday in moderation.
 
1/2 of a 1/2 ml. Yeah cut out as much sugars and sodium as i can. Drinking under a gallon of water. Just thought someone might have personal experience with trt. Its such a low dose test c. Just want to get this under control before may. Maybe my only option is getting off trt.

In that case I would say it's your blood pressure. Typically if you can control your estrogen/E2 then you shouldn't have a problem with water retention. Does your face seem to be more red than normal? Also do you feel bloated anywhere else besides your face? When did you start the AI?
 
So then i need to get BP in check? Started ai last week. I was doing ai at the beggining of trt, but my test was higher, then they had me lower my test so took ai out of it. Also my e2 levels were normal. So thats why they had me drop e2. No reddness in face. Just bloat and in my stomach. I should get another panel done.
 
Blood pressure of 138/100 is on the high side , yes. His diastolic pressure of 100 is high but the top systolic # is in an ok range.

Not to get so worried though I run in the 90's a lot and not considered to have consistent high BP. The High BP is not the cause of the moon face and drinking water will not do it either.

An old rule of thumb is water in equals water out. So you are running how many mgs of test a week. When we state our doses we speak in mgs or grams. What you are telling me is volume. !/2 of !/2 is a 1/4. A 1/4 of what mg/mL 200 or 250 or 300. What dose are you taking weekly total.?I really don't understand if you know what you are doing by the way your descriptions. No offense meant. just trying to be clear.

Good for you to be using B-12 and I just ask is it methylcobalamin type B-12 ? The B-12 will not hold water. Are your ankles swollen at all? if not to worry.

Yes I would try to get your blood pressure in check by controlling your estrogen. If you just started your AI last week you probably still have estrogen built up. When did you have your blood work?
 
The AI is G2G and is not the culprit. You may have temporarily spiked your Estradiol, a thought. But you said your E2 was good. I would stay the course with the moon face if not so bad and let things level out. Check your ankles and if no pitting edema (swelling) then don't worry. Your dose of AI seems to be ok.

Just keep track of your BP and if it stays at or below 100 the also no worries however you can do other things to help manage that. Salt ?? If you are feeling anxious about this and maybe other things this could be the culprit with the BP.

AS I said I think things will level out as your mind does.
My 2 cents
 
Sorry, so correction I am doing under 200 ml a week of test c. I started trt in september at 400ml a week with 0.50 mg a week of anastrozole along with 25 units of hcg after a couple months my test levels were in the high range so they dropped me down to 200ml a week and dropped ai cause my estriol levels were normal. I have pharmaceutical grade .So I started AI a week ago.

Did they really test estriol not estradiol? or was that a typo?

Could be a couple things. Hcg spikes estrogen so the AI may not be the right one for you. Also diet is key. Personally if I run a trt dose of test you can manage bloat through diet- sodium and carb intake. The addition of hcg will spike estrogen for a number of days after injection. The AI you started recently, take it for another couple weeks and watch your diet. Get bloods after that from your dr
