Test E bloating (face looks bloated)

[RockyRambo]

I am done with my cycle of Test E 250,250,500,500,500,250 for 6 weeks. I didn't use the HCG during the cycle but I am using right now as week 7 and week 8 , 2000 i.u. each , week 9 and week 10 will be clomid 500 mg e.d.
Right now, I am in week 8 but my face still looks bloated with water retention. My weight is also high due to water. I didn't use any AI during the cycle and am not using it either now. People have told me that the bloating will go away on its own when the pct is over. What I wanted to ask was how long could it take? or will it also be a factor of my diet, like do I need to restrict carbs to prevent it? (what if I go on a ketogenic diet?). I know the sodium role in bloating though. Please advise!

Still need to get labs. If E2 is high take an AI until you start PCT.

Oh! Arimidex should work? and how much for how long? my PCT with clomid starts on 5th Jan. How much Arimidex should I take till then? and I am already running HCG, hope arimidex won't interfere with it. Moreover, how long will it take for the bloat to go off?

Lowering sodium won't do anything.
This is how people get gyno, high bp, bloat, low sex drive, and possibly enlarged prostate by not using AI. Start adex at 0.25mg every other day. Stop using it when you start PCT.
Adex won't interact with hCG. It interacts with Nolva.

Couldn't the HCG also be the cause of bloat? I would definetly get some nolva or A-dex.

hCG will not cause bloat to any significant degree. It dose slightly increase your estrogen, but when using AI you can control it.

No AI? Bet you are bloated from sky high E2. Adex works fast, so hope you have it.
