GH brands and water retention?

[Tux]

First off, does GH cause water retention at first, or the whole time you take it? Amount of retention dependant on dosage and frequency? I have taken Nutropin AQ before and Nutropin Depot, but both were only 2iu/day. I started jintropin last monday, at just over 3iu/day, and gained 11lbs in 8 days. I WAS also on 50mg/day of russian dbol as well, but I am taking 25mg/day of aromasin, 100mg/day proviron, and 10mg/day of nolvadex, b/c I wanted as close to ZERO water retention as I could get. Now the results have been insane for 10 days 9 days in now, but with that much AI and anti-e, I shouldn't have gained 11lbs in 8 days. So, does GH cause water retention, and is it dependant on brand? I know about swelling of ankles, joint issues, long bones in the face, etc, but most of those are either temporary or due to HIGH dosage, 3iu/day is NOT high dosage. Is it just the jintropin brand?

wow bro...those are fast gains for GH...im not convinced this is from GH at all- usually noticable gains or results dont show for a month or two-maybe, more like 3 months is average. i respond well to GH so i see effects quickly...ive never noticed any hard water gain form GH. Edema in hands is my worst side effect, including some joint pain in my shoulder regions. I could never handle that much Dbol, 25mgs to 30mgs for me is plenty, but thats for myself...im on Serostism @ 3ius per day....im not sure how high a dose 100mgs of proviron is, it seems steep to me also. IMO your cycle is not well planned out, especially incorperating GH....just my .02

Actually the cycle is very well planned... test/tren as the base, dbol to start, tbol to end, Aromasin as the anti-E, proviron for lowering SHBG, and nolva to help my lipid profile while on orals. PCT is in place too, I normally only use nolva but have HCG on hand if I need it. I've heard others gained alot of water-weight on jintropin as well when they started taking it but it went away. These are WATER gains bro, not muscle. And since I'm on 25mg/day of aromasin, I doubt the dbol caused me to gain 11lbs in 8 days. It wouldn't give me but 5-6lbs WITHOUT an anti-e, so it must be the GH... just didn't realize that was a possible side effect. Oh well, the gains are already insane from the russian dbol, imagine 3-4 months down the road after more GH and tren?

yeah bro, with all that going on you'll have great gains...like i said ive never experienced the water gain with any GH..ive done jin before also...i totally realize this is water weight in what you mentioned...i did not realize you were on test/tren- sorry about that....good stuff. ive never had an opportunity to use any russian products before so this is territory im not familiar with...when i introduce GH i usually run it at 1iu for a week and then start increasing at 1iu after that...ive taken up to 5ius per day, which i like but for me its not worth the cost...meaning i have no reason to put on that kind of mass...i keep my dosages on the low side including my AAS...

 

[Tux]

It takes higher doses for me to gain, I think, due to my naturally extremely high test levels from early puberty onwards, my receptors do not respond as well to low doses. Also, I started out at 3iu/day, perhaps working it up every week or two by 1iu/day would have minimized water gain, but as others said, it should mostly dissappear after a month or so total.

 

[PBR]

i hear you on that...im very lucky, i respond very well to low doses...best of luck to you bro...

 

[hammercurls]

your gh is HCG

 

[Tux]

Umm... NO it's not, it's Jintropin from a very legit source and comes in the original boxes from Gensci. Also, I am taking nolvadex, aromasin, AND proviron, I wouldn't have gained this much water if it were HCG as HCG raises estrogen. Believe me it's GH, I just didn't expect this water gain.

I had used GH in the past at 3IU's per day. After 5 days or so, I had someone ask me why my face was so bloated. I certainly get water retention from it and I was not using steriods at the time.

HCG is a big culpret of Mr.Potato head syndrome...and can induce gyno very quickly in some users...

I get GH bloat....until I started using dostinex!!! Wont run HGH without it anymore..

Well I noticed this morning my stomach already looks less bloated, this is now 1.5 weeks in, I expect by week 3 this will be mostly, if not entirely, gone. I've never had prolactin issues so I don't think that'll be a problem, just didn't expect the water-bloat with all the anti-e's and AI's i'm on. Lol, you learn something new every day. Why do some people say they get bloated more on jintropin than anything else, even with comparable end results?

For whatever reason the jin does cause more water retention than other GH's. Some claim it to be stronger than other GH's which could be part of it.

if you had prolactin issues, what would be a sign (sides) that you did?...

 

[Tux]

If I had prolactin issues... basically when I took tren or larger doses of deca I'd get gyno symptoms that nolva wouldn't cure, and deca or tren dick. I've taken deca and tren together without any test, and still had no problems, either with gains or with sex drive, so from that experience I based my assumption that I do not have a high sensitivity to prolactin issues, at least from those drugs.

GH does cause water retention. There was a good article in MD about it. I don't know if different brands cause different levels of water retention. It may just be a difference in quality.

Not that I've seen a study on it but it's just the personal experiences from the people in my area that have used multiple brands. They all say the Jin makes them hold more water.

Eh well, it's slowly going away as my body gets used to the GH... which is good, b/c I may increase my dosage later... or sooner lol
