I am currently on a prescribed dose of 200 mg of testosterone per week. I weigh 202 lbs and workout moderately 3 days/week. I looking to lean out to 180lbs, however, within 3 to 5 days of taking my 1st shot there is always an immediate gain of weight, which is all water. I am frustrated because the testosterone causes me to hold anywhere from three to five pounds of water throughout the duration of taking it. Even with a mild prescribed diuretic 25mg/day of hydrochlorothiazide, I still retain water. My calorie intake is approximately 1800 calories/day. Some have suggested that I microdose my testosterone but I think that would defeat the reason for being on it. I'm looking for any feedback and/or suggestions that might help this major bloat. Thanks in advance.
