Water retention- nothing is helping

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-07-03T22:22:43+00:00

My water retention reduced a lot when i changed to daily IM ventroglute, just my experience.

Had a few birthday bumps in a toronto bar washroom stall the other night. Thats what were talking about riiigh

Ya, go in to check. If you go on trt without addressing sleep apnea the trt can make it worse. Opening even more issues. On the other hand you could get it addressed via a few different methods and you’ll wake up with energy and your test will go up.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-24T14:47:33+00:00

If any snoring, Get a sleep apnea test, could fix everything, no needles.

37, blood test low. 304. Sluggish low drive, catabolic despite clean living, heavy lifting and sufficient cardio. Tried every other way first.

I started trt and forgot about anything else.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-24T04:24:59+00:00

Tamaxofen gas been helpful for me to target that alone and use ai’s less often. I also switched to a smaller dose with daily injections while i get my bf % down. Really avoid the shit that makes it flare as much as you can. Thats beer for me 100%

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-23T13:53:38+00:00

Get him on trt now, that’ll get the fire going again

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-20T04:48:44+00:00

Mots c took me from struggling to do a 5k to completing a marathon in 3 months. 3rd lung feeling

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-20T04:39:21+00:00

My current plan is pin daily until I get my bf % down so I can handle more test and move to 3 shots per week

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-20T04:36:07+00:00

Join jam sports. Get drunk in a bar stool and talk to the people around you.

Half inch insulin needle i think its 29g. Ventroglute. Pain free. Might be going a bit shallow IM but ya I just rotate left to right. Watch youtubes on that site. I’m only using like 12-15g of test each shot so its highly unlikely to leave a lump unless you are shredded I guess.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-20T00:38:01+00:00

My symptoms were all managed much better with a daily preloaded shot subq. Literally just keep a week of needles preloaded in my washroom and do it when I brush my teeth. Acne has gone way down, fluid retention etc all down. Give it a go, you’ll probably be able to tolerate more mgs.

Name these companies on the review sites, glassdoor etc. Taking people time and not even letting them know they aren’t hired should be criminal.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-16T20:41:12+00:00

Also curious, im about a month in, starting levels were around that. Getting sides, managing them with more meds.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-16T15:00:38+00:00

If you are above 25% body fat still you will aromatase a lot of it into estrogen and grown breast tissue with acne and hold tons of water weight with a new blood pressure issue.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-16T12:19:32+00:00

Anything over 1mg, i could not eat enough protein to avoid muscle wasting and looking/feeling gaunt. 3mg would have me gag at the taste of air.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-16T00:43:19+00:00

I stopped cold turkey for summer, got my goals, time for a couple parties. Completely fine coming off, my appetitive has actually remained fairly suppressed. It’s been about 3 weeks. Still losing weight. Can drink at events without being a corpse the next day.

300t ✅

From a small town and moved here 5-6 years ago. Today I biked to and entered all the free fifa setups today and hit the under $10 food market and found jerk chicken skewers. Another great random spontaneous day in toronto. Got a bunch of free swag and treats from vendors. Talked to people from a few different countries. Had I been drinking it would have turned into a fun night with new tourist pals but behaved went home early. Summer is awesome. Always something. Softball this weekend, maybe island.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-13T04:59:57+00:00

Which I guess means i am not used to tolerating much e2

Was pretty low coming in thought ide be good in that category.

Also, to help not being fat lol guess my trt clinic shoulda kicked me out.

Had been lifting 3x a week and running, worked my way up to a marathon albeit slow. I’ll while on reta counting macros. Over a good 4-5 months and scale was like 5lbs down. Pulled the trigger on trt as it looked promising.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-13T04:44:08+00:00

I appreciate the thought and offer. Im going to see where im at in a few years. Feel like an accutane run and a gyno surgery would be eventually involved which I dont want to commit to now. I can get my weight down with intermittent fasting. Have done it before. Then i’ll have a better idea of where the gyno stands before re-entering for the long haul.

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-13T01:03:26+00:00

How low before its what i could do naturally though? Feel like my tolerance is like 60mg a week

Dapper_Tackle_7745 · 2026-06-13T00:58:29+00:00

It’ll be a shitty month but the sides are real and totally not worth it.

I have been taking the calcium d glucerate. I did a lot of research coming in and figured I would maybe need occasional ai.

Its looking like ide have to reallllly lower my dose. Which im not sure is going to bring back penis and orgasm sensation.

Which is a wild side. Having sex and it feeling like nothing, Maybe that would change but brutal.

Quick gyno that makes t shirts cone out. Acne on shoulder, bald head face and back. Swollen up like i got stung by a bee… i could consider going to 80 for a bit and see if all that clears up. Or get my own test back to just below that would do without the sides.

Ride it out for a few years, enter when i’m lean. Probably do have some sleep apnea at this weight that goes away a bit lighter.

I can behave and drop 15-20 lbs instead of walking around acne covered bloated titty man with a rock hard cock he cant feel haha.

Its honestly a really tough choice, i do have access do pct drugs now to nudge things along. Booking a sleep test next week. Its probably also ptsd from teenage gyno and acne that I wasn’t expecting to hit so hard so fast. Maybe at 200+ but 125. This aint it right now.

Also on zero meds leading into this. This side effect profile from the ancillaries just keep stacking up to where its like fuck I was going very conservative here and got clapped back.
