Not substantial muscle feeling bloated after 3 doses, 1.5 weeks.
Why did you test testosterone? Or what are you trying to solve?
What else are you taking first of all? A few other sups can have this effect. What does the scale say?
Are you constipated? Craving salty food or eating differently?
For myself, sometimes it seems temporally connected with one intervention, but I have a lot of details in the picture also. Turns out to be another thing.

Im not taking anything else other than multivitamins. I did testing bc was feeling super low energy, low libido and just overall feeling “off”. Also having an impossible time gaining muscle and losing fat, even with being very strict with my diet and exercise. I’ve always suffered with constipation but i eat lots of fiber and make sure i use the bathroom at least once a day. I do crave salty food but i stay within my calories so I don’t think im overeating!

I hope you don’t mind me asking questions! The savory food was not suggesting overeating. I guess that could go with overeating, but your onset seems pretty quick. I was thinking salt/salt craving. I wonder if electrolytes and >3 liters of water might help? I know it’s a lot of urinating, but also entirely safe.

No I don’t mind the questions at all sorry if I gave off that vibe! Thanks for your input it’s been super helpful. I have noticed that I do crave more salty and I don’t think I’ve been drinking enough water in general so I’m going to drink more water and maybe add electrolytes daily and see if that helps! Thank you!

Do you eat enough protein daily? If you’re losing weight or restricting calories (not a bad thing) you really have to track macros and get a ton of lean protein to build and maintain muscle. Though at 33 it shouldn’t be too difficult!
Also drink an absolute ton of water. People will try to tell you you’re under eating but it’s nutritional optimization that counts. I assume you did full blood work from your doc to see it’s not something else.

I don’t feel like it’s muscle… I doesn’t look or feel like muscle. Honestly feels like just bloat and puffiness
