I posted a similar thread in the main forum and didn't get any responses. Gonna try putting it here as the issue has gotten worse.
I started 4iu Norditropin a day on 8/13. I stopped a bodybuilding show prep 5.5 weeks out to return to powerlifting on 8/22. I was 191.6 with no water retention over those 9 days. By 8/29 I was 207.2 and I assumed from rebound from the diet as I was hitting calories hard. 2 days of whatever but then back to mostly clean food with 7 meals and 4K calories a day plus a some treats. No CTS, edema, low back pumps, nothing. I usually am not one to hold a ton of water when I have cheat meals etc and if I do it goes away fast.
Low back pumps, ankle edema and CTS have gotten progressively worse. My weight has ballooned to 225.4 this morning. 18.2lb gain in 8 days. Everyday life stuff is uncomfortable. Grip is shit from the CTS. Thankfully I check my BP and that is in the 120's systolic when I baseline in the 115 SBP range.
The only change I made 8 days ago was going from 4iu post workout to 2iu in the morning and 2iu pre workout. Strength is sky rocketing. Pumps are insane. Appetite is insatiable. And I am not putting on fat like I would have thought for the crazy amount of food. But the water retention has just gotten to be too much.
Thoughts? Does it take 3-4 weeks for GH sides to hit? I am sure there is water from diet and rebound but like I said I was up the first 16lbs after ending the prep with zero sides. Back down to 2iu a day? Or come off completely to clear the water and get a baseline and work up super slow? Cardio is 20min elliptical 4x week and I minimally salt any food.
I am getting GH serum, IGF, BMP, CBC, Test, Estradiol levels done tomorrow. Other gear use is just Test E at 600/wk with Aromasin 12.5/day. That is not new and Aromasin always controls my E2 well per bloodwork.
I 100% trust my source and the GH as real pharma before anyone mentions that. Between who put me in touch with him and who else I know uses him I have zero doubts.
