HCG good but bloated me

[snorkles]

I have used HCG during my last 4 weeks during a cutting cycle and I recovered very well and found it as a great product. the only problem was that HCG bloated me. I know its from the hcg since I kept the sam food (even decreased the intake) and increased the cardio. and as soon as I started taking nolva at 10mg ED i started seeing the bloat go down. and I continued getting even leaner once I started pct of nolva and clomid and stopped HCG.

How can I solve this problem? I mean HCG was great and will use it again to recover but isnt it a bit contradictory to bloat up whilst doing a cutting cycle?

thanks a lot.

HCG can increase estrogen which in turns makes you hold more water. Taking an anti-estrogen with it will reduce the bloat.

HCG increses test production which can aromatizes into E. Usually the problem people have with taking HCG is they take WAAAAAY too much, jacking test levels and in turn E levels.

thanks for the replies guys. I was taking 5000 iu's per week, split into ED shots. so that was the problem..the amount.

So which is better? to take less per week or to take an anti-estrogen with it?

Taken during a cycle you just need 2-3x a week at 250IU to keep the testes working. A 2005 study showed that doses of 125, 250 and 500 IU every other day maintain Intratesticular fluid Test levels so any more than that is just going to jack your T levels and in turn mean you need more anti-e. Problem with taking HCG like that to jack your test levels is hcg has a short half life and natural T has no ester so it can be a bumpy ride.

My personal opinion is HCG a couple times a week at 250IU works great to give you a little on cycle test bump as well as keep the testes working so post cycle thing come back quicker.

Run 250iu twice a week. If your nuts are still shrinking bump it to 500iu E4D. No wonder you were bloating, 5,000iu EW is wayyyy overkill.
