I'm retaining massive amounts of water since starting T. I heard this can happen?

How long does it take to resolve? Was there anything you did that was helpful? Dandelion root or green tea? Cutting back on sodium? I already eat a pretty low-salt diet, no fast food etc., so my life is going to become extremely boring. ~.~

Yes, it means whatever amount you're taking the body as converted to excess estrogens. For some people it resolves within a few weeks, for some a few months. Some people lower the dose to avoid it. Personally I only had issues with that when I added a few mg to the regular dose to see what would happen. It went away as soon as I went back down to my normal dose and the excess was metabolized from the system.

Cut down on eating salt or salty things, or excessively sugary things as well to help with retention. I tried water pills and other things but none of that worked. None of the stuff marketed to women for water retention worked for me either. I just had to wait for the body to get used to the high T. A few weeks.

Woohoo... plain lentils for dinner it is.

Do you have a source for T converting to E? That's interesting.

I'm on a low dose of gel and it's completely manhandling me. 

Not off hand, it's common knowledge among the male bodybuilding crowd who also inject or use T gel. They also get the moon face and water gut when cycling T, because it's excess to their normal level. I'm sure you can find some scientific source via Google though.

I realized it's all the tears I've stopped crying.
