Recently just started TRT on Test Cyp 100mg per week split into two doses each week IM injections. I was recently just on clomid due to fertility issues but was told to stop it since we are done having kids and was put on TRT. Since August 2022, I am down from 241 to 205 before TRT and just on the clomid. Since starting TRT 2-1/2 weeks ago I have went from 207 to 220! Is this normal to gain this much weight? Currently work out 4 days a week. Diet is pretty good but could maybe use some adjusting. Just worried about the weight gain so far. Seems like my progress I’ve made in the past year is being erased.
Are you tracking skinfolds? That’s the easiest way to know if you’re actually getting fatter. And the mirror doesn’t lie.
Probably just fluid retention. My weight can easily fluctuate 5-6 pounds any given two week period and it isn’t fat gain/loss. You need to weigh yourself at the exact same time everyday. Usually AM after terlit time is when I do it.
Honestly the mirror looks the same. I’m at the beginning of the TRT thing. Only thing I track is with a tape around my stomach and that hasn’t changed. Weight has went up drastically. I weight myself the same time every single morning.
get a dexa scan. you can try keto for 2 weeks which will dump a lot of water weight to see the diff
This is water weight, give it time to drop off.
How did yo get on OP? Did the water weight drop?
This was me when I first started TRT. I gained like 2 pounds a week for like 4 or 5 weeks. With no changes in salt intake or diet. It’s likely just water. After a while it just simply went away. I must have just slowly pissed it all out.
