I've been on TRT for a while now. I have tried all types of remedies, from just testosterone cypionate to HCG monotherapy, etc. before discovering my sweet spot of 200mg test cyp per week, 500iu HCG per week (all in one shot), and .25mg arimidex.
About a year ago, I began getting real BAD water retention and swelling whenever I took my HCG shot. I had moon face and my nipples puffed out to look like small boobs. My stomach also got very flabby with water. I tried lowering the dose of HCG to 250iu, 125 iu, and 50iu, and still had the same issue.
So for a while now I've been on only test cyp and arimidex. It works OK but is lacking in a lot of areas, mainly my sex drive and appetite. The HCG was great with boosting that but I can't take it because of the swelling.
I have absolutely no idea why this started. I have taken 2500iu HCG 3x per week on mono therapy and never had swelling. In fact I had the opposite; it kept me lean and trim and thin.
What can I do to attempt to stop this side effect? Why did this randomly start?
