Water weight and HRT

[Malinois]

Got a bro who just started on HRT and thinks he is holding a lot of water. He said his face has gotten really puffy since being put on. He's on 200/wk Cyp. No Ai's, no other meds.

Any ideas?

How old? What are his stats? 200 mg a week??Dr. put him at that dose?? HRT doses should be at a lower 100mg, depending what his situation is.

He's 31. As for his stats...Best guess he's like 5'10, 225 and a regular at the gym. He asked me what I thought and I told him I'd ask on EF.(I know, Ive told him to get his ass on here).

Been doing research for quite some time and seriously considering getting on gh. I'm female, 48, and feel I'm a prime candidate. I read the boards all the time but this is first post. I worry about water weight with this stuff. Any input appreciated.

Yes, you can pick up some bloat, but nothing that is super noticed. The dosage is too low.

Yes you can bloat at that dosage because at 200mg a week it's possible the levels are too high cuz it builts up week to week as the dosage is too high. He needs an AI if he wants to stay at that dosage if not then drop it to 150 or 100/week.
Some ppl are prone to convert test to estrogen more than others but the water retension is not healthy at all.

When i was on 120mg of test cyp a week split dosed every second day my e2 reading was off the charts at 82 range 12 -62

I had insane bloat during this period but once went on adex 0.25mg every second day bloat went away and got my e2 checked
and came in at 20 range 12 - 62. I would suggest to get his e2 readings checked to make sure.
