Hcg water during cycle

[Viriato]

I'm doing a 250 test/week plus trenb ace 75 ED and is going just fine, great results. The thing is I had my test levels/sex drive too low before and so I went on some hcg. I've been doing 1500 IU every 4 days for the last 5 weeks and I now feel that I'm holding some water. I'm not as dry as I was, even though my diet and training is on check, so it has to be water from hcg. My test levels and my sex drive are ok, so what would you guys suggest? I have 4 more weeks of cycling ahead and then it's pct. I was thinking of stoping the hcg and only run it again for pct. How long will it take for the water to go?

Thnx.

the water retention is IMO most likely a result of aromatization of tes into estrogen
while the hcg stimulates testosterone production it does not compare to 250mg/week of tes

if you are using a long half life ester like enathate it might have taken time for blood levels to reach the maximum and therfore having maximum levels of estrogen from aromtisation

an anti aromitase agent like AIFM or aromasin would be my recomendation
also since you are already holding water a short course of clomid
say 50mg/day for 4 days when starting the anti aromitase might also be in order to block the estrogen binding to receptors until you reduce its abundance

sometimes trens progestin sides can effect your labido. i believe most recomend a 2/1 ratio of tes/tren. your current ratio is over 2/1 tren/tes and is the most likely culprit if you are having sex drive issues at this time

thats my understanding and advice

I'm pretty sure the water comes from the hcg... Maybe I should try AIFM or aromasin. Or just wait, it'll probably go away fast, since I won't be doing hcg

But thanx for your advice.

HCG does increase aromatase activity (as well as testosterone) so it can really elevate your estrogen levels.

For the future, and AI is a good ancillary with HCG.

I can't go for nolva, since I'm on tren, and tren does not go well with nolva. I just stopped the hcg and will only go back in pct, maybe 1500IU twice a week. Hopefully the bloat will go away. I might go for Femara (letrozole) next time. Or AIFM.

Nolva doesn't really do much for bloat anyway.

I've never tried letro but it has a nasty reputation for killing sex drive and that's what lead to your HCG use in the first place.

I'd go with aromasin or AIFM for that situation.
