TRT and Constipation

[Calipower]

Hey THere,
On TRT of 200mg test cyp weekly with 2x 250 mcg hCG shots and Arimidex at 2x .75mg a week. Been dealing with major constipation at times that comes and goes, think it has do with my estrogen. Anyone else have any issues with this?

10000 things that could make you constipate, I wouldn't point at gear/ hormones in this case

I’m curious how sensitive you are to estrogen that you need 1.5mg a week with only 200mg test.

I don’t think either has anything to do with your constipation though. I’d look for sudden changes in your diet.

Once I got on TRT, my existing constipation problems disappeared.
I suggest looking at your diet around the incidence of constipation to see if you are consuming enough fibre and water.

So I totally understand the idea to first point to diet but I've played with my diet, going from carnivore all the way to eating 30-40g fiber and the problem still occurs. When estrogen seems to be in the right place (hard erections, morning wood, and good orgasms) I have no issue with constipation. I have read low or high can cause constipation due to pulling water from colon but just curious to see who else has this problem.

It's the hcg that causes that much arimidex needed. Standard protocol from my doc was actually 2mg arimidex but my estrogen was at 14 then and dealt with joint issues.

I can take 200mg test and 1,000hcg with no AI and my e2 is at 60ish.

60 is way too high to be at all the time. Should be between 20-30, no higher than 40.

I can get up to the 140s on a blast with no sides.

we all respond differently. With 100mg test a week and 1000iu hcg eod, my estrogen was 3 times the high end of normal range.

More than likely not the TRT.
Try magnesium citrate capsules, 750mg nightly. And of course hydrate.
