HGH and water weight gain

[fortysomething]

I have been on Somatropin for 3 weeks now and began therapy for low IGF and also to facilitate weight loss. I started at 236 and now I am 249. This water weight makes it hard to track fat loss!




-2 IU per day for 5 days off 2
-50MG Stanozolol sub lingual every other day

Diet is mainly proteins, low carbs, no sugar, salt or flour.

Gym 3 days a week for 2 x body parts plus cardio so I should be on right track.

Why am I holding so much water so quickly?

Has anyone ever experienced water gain from HGH????????

HGH is not going to be the reason for your water retention so you can stop worrying about that. You might have sodium in your diet where you havent looked. Do you take protien supplements. If you do check them, there might be some sodium in them. It could also be your body type. You might have to diet harder to get rid of the extra water.

Water retention is possible with GH - bloated stomach as well - not over 3 weeks though i wouldn't have thought, though you may be very sensitive to it or the IGF -
methinks something else is at play. Don't know that sodium intake would cause this level of water retention unless there was a significant change in diet. Has here been?

When I started the HGH I also started winstrol and Anadrol cream. I also went into the gym really hard once I started to feel GOOD.
My BMI is 29% according to my endocrinologist and my weight was 235 but in 3-4 weeks I ballooned to 250. I can feel the water in my lower back and legs and it is frustrating.

I am eating clean and less than I noramllay would to facilitate fat loss.

no alcohol, no bread, eating chicken and rice and fish..

confused...

Thats really strange that you have retained so much water. You might want to go back to the doctor and speak to him about it or just stop using HGH and see what happens.

I would do that - if anything the Winni should be drying you out.

Once I stopped I lost almost all the water!

Then went back to Androgel; that is the water problem. I immediately held water next day from the gel; sucks!
The rHGH was not the culprit but I did get some tingling in hands as a side effect but it was not terrible.
