anyone’s face more bloated on TRT test compared to before they stated/completely off?

[prher]

Is anyone’s face leaner completely off Test compared to just physiological TRT dosages. My mate has started on his TRT dose of 125mg a week before starting a blast and his face is drastically more bloated and puffy compared to before he was on any gear. He is lean (has ab veins etc) and his diet hasn’t changed. (I live with the guy so I’m aware of the dosages and diet etc).

Just curious if this is the case for others also.

Thanks.

estrogen is high

Could purely be water retention, happens to me when I increase my test dose and goes back to normal once levels stabilises. Maybe his E2 is too high aswell?

Yeah. Gear and salty, fatty food will puff me right up like a puffer fish.

was also the case for you on trt? i understand higher doses causing water retention but not so much physiological dosages.

telmisartan helps a lot with this, for obvious reasons

I have always been more “watery” since starting TRT. I can’t get back the same level of dryness and hardness as when natural/hypo. Face definitely holds on to more water, especially after a high carb day.

Yes but it's either a estrogen issue, aldosterone or BP. Can be fixed with estrogen management, telmisartan, and eplerenone

My face is difinately fuller on trt, but I think it's because i'm actually too dry with no trt (low test/E). I look more gaunt than chisled.

My estrogen went to 100 on just 170mg test a week.

He should do bloodwork

He should also sign up and apologize for his friend not reading the rules and making a new member introduction like they should have

this still the case if you use things like telmisartan and eple? like trt + tel + eple compared to off?
