Red puffy face after first few injections of 500 test c

[wumpa]

Wasssssup. I have been taking 500 test c for 2 weeks gonna be 3. I have noticed that my face has gotten puffy and for no reason ten other than maybe some water weight. Im thinking my body is creating more white blood cells to help fight inflammation. Ive asked anyone taking stuff I know in person and they say im overthinking it which I probably am but just thought I would post something on here

Most likely high e2 and its causing water retention. Are you taking an ai? Hows your BF%?

No i am not taking an ai. I would say I am around 20-22%bf

Your e2 is probably high without an AI. Week 3 is usually when estrogen sides peak (along with peaking test). This would be a great time for bloodwork to see what you aromatization is doing. How are the nips?

It could be due to high E2 but only way to know is to get bloods. I wouldn't get on an AI until you confirm with bloods that you need it.
Sounds like it could be moon face. How many cycles have you run? Is this the highest dose/week you have taken? Are you taking any other PEDs besides the test c?
Also, I doubt your body is creating more wbcs but again simple bloods will let you know.
