new to the site... need some advice on water retention

[rockinH5]

down and dirty info = 170mg of T. Cypionate/week and an aromatase inhibitor twice a week (for medical reasons).

i've noticed i'm starting to hold some fluid and need some advice on how to avoid this, or keep it to a minimum.

carb intake is less than 100 gr/day, and i don't add extra salt to my food. i try and avoid high sodium products as much as i can.

i drink about a gallon of water a day.

appreciate any advice.

if estro is in range the only changes i could see helping are to drink more water and or add in a daily dose of hctz.

do you know estro is good?

Yea basically the only thing to do is increase water intake like a lot-- like just carry a gallon of water with you wherever you go..LOL

[Satan66]

also, you could increase cardio and SWEAT! SWEAT! SWEAT!
and don't eat a lot of salty foods​

estro was 12 before I started and after 6 weeks it's up to 29.

I bloat really easy with certain carbs like rice, what kind of carbs are you taking in? When my water intake is up to two gallons and carbs are on the lower side coming from veggies and oats I seem to keep the water off. If it's an estro issue really small doses of letrozole seem to work for me as well but you need estrogen and don't want your levels too low. Is this for trt I'm guessing?

Yep! My carb intake is around 100gr/day and is mostly made up of vegetables with the occasional bread or tortilla and sometimes rice. My wife is Puerto Rican, so rice is always around.

I think my biggest problem is simple not getting enough water and cooking with salt, or other higher sodium condiments. Guess I'll start here and hope it levels off soon.

Appreciate the advice from all.............

Yeah just have to find what works for you but the water intake is a must

I'm a little late to the party, but you may want to consider hydrochlorothiazide at 25mg daily. It's a diuretic that is widely Rx'd for people who are borderline hypertensive. Tren raised my blood pressure and I asked my sister, who is a spine surgeon, for something mild to help lower BP. Started taking it and it is awesome. Lowered BP and got rid of excess water. I am kicking myself that I didn't find out about it earlier, because I actually don't have to put up with gear-related puffiness. Noticeably changed my look, and it is cheap.

Hope this helps.
