fluid retention

[nj over 40]

After a 2 year hiatus I started basic cycle of test enanthate with deca 300. Get it from good lab in Tampa, long time friend of owner, old north Jersey guy. First week I went Monday 200mg  test and 200 mg deca, wed 250 test. Like to to do test every other day seems to keep blood levels stable, did 200 deca on thursday.

Friday back to 300 test and thta was it until the next week. 12 week sched would be test 650, 650, 800, 800, then 1,000 for weeks 5 through 10, finshng with 750 wk 11 and 500 wk 12. Deca staying arounf 500 weeks 3 through 6, than 600 weeks 7 through 10, than 500 and 400 week 12.

My question after first week saw fluid build up in feet and ankles and a little up lower leg to around shin. My lab buddy said nothin to worry went out and bought some OTC products from stripping water.

I am 45 blood work perfect always in shape, but never had this happen, face puffy now & then and basic water retention but not low like this timed. I am a little worried could use advice, wife freaking, so are daughters as they are 14 and 17, not little kids anymore. Help???

Where did you get your cycle advice from?

At your age, you shouldn't be using those amounts for any reason.

Why did you decide to stagger your Testosterone dosage?

Stay at one dose throughout the whole cycle.

I think you should have used 500MG Testosterone EW for 12 weeks and observed how your body reacted to it.

As it stands you've basically thrown your body out of equilibrium and at your age it's not going to react to the hormonal imbalance like it would say twenty years ago.

The edema around your ankles and feet sounds like a kidney problem to me, plus the amount of Testosterone you are using could be contributing to it.

Do you have hypertension?

I can only imagine how out of whack your test levels are...that cycle sounds like a huge emotional roller coaster waiting to happen.

Lot of the bodybuilders with that kind of water retention has/had serious kidney problems, if i were you i would hurry to the doctor (just in case).

GOOD LUCK...

Either way, would be good to start blasting the nolvadex @ 40mg/day
