If the water don't disappear soon and keeps on bothering you, lower the dose by .5IU.

bloat goes away after some time...:

Most of the recent data support the concept that GH activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system(RAAS). Acute administration of GH to normal subjects raises plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration (Ho & Weissberger, 1990). This is one of the mechanisms mediating the fluid retention effect of GH. Indeed, when GH is administered with captopril or spironolactone, no increment of the extracellular volume is observed (Møller et al., 1997). However, it is doubtful whether chronic GH elevation causes sustained activation of RAAS. For example, in children with GH deficiency, no increment in plasma renin activity and aldosterone can be detected after 1 year of therapy (Ludens et al., 1969; McCaa et al., 1978). This suggests that the early response of RAAS to GH is followed by homeostatic adaptation of the system to the expanded body fluid and sodium compartment. For the same reason, the chronic GH elevation of acr*****lic patients has been reported to be associated with normal or even depressed RAAS activity (Kalberg & Ottosson, 1982). In line with this view is the recent observation that transgenic mice overexpressing IGF-I show downregulation of angiotensinogen in cardiomyocytes and reduced levels of angiotensin II (Leri et al., 1999).
