HGH water retention ?

Slowguy860 · Friday at 1:57 AM

I’m on day 6 of 4ius tolerated 3ius very well the day after i went to 4ius i had a night out with the wife so obviously ate off plan( not smart lesson learned ) all the extra sodium etc I’m sure plays a part in this but then the following day have blown up with water 6-7 lb up on the scale noticeable ankle edema puffy fingers etc. I figured by now it might go away just wondering how long I should I wait to see if it goes away before I bump back down to 3iu ?

It’s crazy how a slight bump can surpass your threshold or tolerance. You can alternate days of 3iu and 4iu to allow the body to adapt or give the 4iu a good week or two and reassess. However if the water retention is on bad edema levels drop back down. Also could be a combo of the additional sodium you mentioned.

Same happened to me recently. It went away in about 3 days. Im on 6iu and some Movie theater popcorn blew me up like a damn blowfish.

my opinion definitely blame the sodium.

Yeah my thought process was well 3iu is going well what could go wrong at 4

i appreciate the feedback gonna give it a few more days to see if it settles if not ill be dropping back down for a bit

Yeah man my jump from 3 to 4 IU’s was when I saw water retention and carpal tunnel sides pop up. I’d say it took a good 3-4 weeks for them to go away completely, but it did go away. I’m also finding that the leaner I get the less of a problem water retention as a whole is becoming for whatever it’s worth.

Moving up 1iu for me will bump mu weight 2to3lbs for few days then it levels off
Sure eating like a jagoff didn't help matters.

I moved up from 6 to 7.5 to 9 without issues. BUT when I have a very high sodium day I will blow the fuck up for about 12 hours. Went from 182-186 in a single day. Was still 186 pre bed (after eating all day) and back down to 182 the following day.
