Personal experience - How long for GH sodium retention to pass or did it never leave

[Mariafitness]

Hi, did my first shot last night 2.5iu and got very bloated. this scared me off but will continue as other members say it will pass.

Whats your personal experience with sodium retention and how many members did GH were sodium/bloat never left ?

Will reduce to 1iu. how many weeks should one expect to be bloated?

I've never really got bloated or held much water from gh. I've been up to 9 iu.

Brand?

Many different ones. I'm on Sigmas 24 iu now but I've used a ton of different sources. Maybe It's in my genetics to tolerate it well. It does make me super tired the first few weeks I start it. That's my worse side.

4 to to 10iu would fuck me up. Then I went off and on at various years to where I would barely feel 8iu. I'd do 5 days on 2 days off the pee out all the water and increased RHR.

acromegaly: I thought it grew my feet / hands. But after getting verified sub 10% and dropped GH, my feet would fit into my old high school shoe size. In fact they seemed smaller than ever. Is the perceived growth just water?

But now if I inject IM I blow up with water and side effects. @Ghoul

Just my n =1

I couldn't get rid of edema until I dropped to 2iu Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Even 1iu daily caused it.

I may have reduced kidney function tho, getting it checked out properly by a doctor soon. I know a gentleman using the same supplier and he has no issues on 3iu a day.

Maybe get your kidney function checked and check your IGF1 levels. Everyone responds differently.

IGF1 can cause fluid retention through a different mechanism to HGH.

Interesting respons. So how did you end up dosing, stopping it or are you doing 1iu every other day or something?

I am currently off HGH until I can confirm my urine is free of protien.

To answer your question directly: upon cessation of HGH my edema would resolve in 3-4 days.

A more detailed explanation is I used to get pitting edema in my shins only on 2iu before sleeping. About 4-5mm deep after working 12 hours in boots. This would be 80% resolved upon waking but gradually would worsen as time went on. If I stopped working it would go away as well. I would also find it more difficult to see my veins in my hands and feet, however I never got cankles or swollen hands. Just the edema in the shin and a difference in the size of the leg around where the boot was positioned. Like the leg was swollen above the boot.

I managed to take 2iu Monday, Wednesday and Friday with my HCG and didn't have the above issues.

I have had issues with edema before starting TRT.

I've had some tough times with it at first trying to figure out how I respond to it. Multiple sources from here.

Above 3 iu I was getting water retention in my forearms and waking up every night with my hands numb and tingling. I dropped to 2iu and it was fine. Slowly worked up to 4.5 and no problems.

I confirmed that it was a matter of building up because i stopped for a few weeks and jumped back on at 3.5iu -same problem as before when i went too high too fast.

A week should be plenty of time to get back to normal. Everyone's different but generally working your dosage up slowly over time is the smartest way to do it. I can't take it with nandrolone or anadrol because that'll send the water retention up on day 1. Other than that it's no problem at all anymore.
