water retention with HGH

[Rayna]

I've read about water retention being a side effect on HGH. Is this common? How long would this last, say through a six month cycle, the whole time or is it a short lived side effect?

It's very common, and it can appear as fast as 1 - 2 weeks into cycle. The amount of time ot sticks around for depends on the user and the dose. You would usually decrease the dose if such side effect is not bareable or looks like isn't going away.

Water retention will continue throughout your cycle, and that is actually the reason hgh has sides like joint pain. The pain is because the kidneys haven't adjusted mineral levels in your blood to offset the increased retention of water.

Each time I have started a new run of GH, I experienced water retention around week 2. I usually gain about 10 pounds and retain it until week 4 or 5, then I drop right back down to where I started. The stiffness in my hands usually follows the same time frame. I started at 3iu and ramped up to 5iu during the first 3 weeks.
