Anybody experience bloat from adding HCG

I was on TRT for roughly 2 years or so (Test Cyp and Arimidex ), then I took about 8 months or so off. Started back up again, but this time with HCG added to the mix. I am now not as defined as before. I am bigger and smoother, and this is with the ridiculous cardio I do in the gym plus martial arts. I am also on .5 Arimidex EOD. Just curious to see if anybody else experienced bloat from HCG.

Philly, how long you been back on? And your dose of t and hcg ?

I've been back on about 15 weeks or so

I was hoping it was your body trying to settle into it - but not with fifteen weeks under your belt. And no, I have never experienced bloat from hcg - I have from the test though. Your E2 numbers look good? And is your adex brand, generic or compounded?

Where is the HCG from? I know with (fake) Chinese HGH, there have been a lot of issues with bloat due to whatever they're using to mimic authentic HGH. Not sure if it's the same with HCG, but since they both look the same, it's a possibility.

I started HCG about 2 weeks ago. I just noticed I am bloated, my face, my stomach. So I got some liquidex, and I reduced my test cyp from 200mg to 100mg.

I am going to to do .25 mg EOD of liquidex. I got some tamox too in case I need something stronger.

When you cyclec of TRT, did your levels come back up? I've been on TRT for about 16 weeks now and I want to come off for a bit, I was on 200 mg per week.

I'll just TRT in 4 month cycles in case some day the world runs out of synthetic T.

bump for more opinions on bloat on hcg

Never had any problems when HCG was implemented. Check your E2 level to see where that's at. The addition of HCG could easily be increasing the amount of E2 that is converting in your system. BW will tell you if that's the case or not.
