TRT Weight Loss

Pharma / TRT
1

When I started TRT back in Oct last year, I was at 117kg. Once the test and HCG kicked in, I jumped to 120kg, which the Dr put down largely to water retention due to high estrogen and subsequently added anastrozole to my protocol and my weight came back to to 117kg over a few weeks, and I looked leaner with it

What has confused me though. Is that the clinic / dr I was with told me to cold turkey stop. Which I subsequently did (moved clinic and now on test only. Explained in another thread). But before completely coming off, I’d noticed my weight was actually down around the 115kg, so I’d dropped weight without trying and now I’m sitting around 114.7kg and it doesn’t seem to be budging.

I’ve had my bloods done again and there’s nothing that would / could explain why I’m now sat at a lower weight than before I started any kind of treatment

Anyone else experienced this or does anyone else know what might be going on?

Just seems strange that pre TRT I was heavier than I am now, since being on, coming off and only being back on again a little over a week. I’d have thought at the very least I might sit somewhere close to my pre treatment weight, not 2+ kgs below

At first glance it would seem this is water weight but it’s been 9mos now so could just be that you dropped a little weight but the water weight from the higher estrogen was masking. JUst guessing here. Hard to say because you have switched what you are doing. Monitor for 6 more months and see where youa re at.

So you think this could potentially be a combination of the natural water weight I was carrying and any additional from the treatment coming off as a result of treatment and anastrozole?

I’m thinking it’s very hard to tell because you haven’t been on any one protocol long enough to point a finger.
Stick to your current protcal for min6-8 mos and see what happens.
You went up in mg/wk correct?
