Bloat from hcg

[Predator123]

Hello guys, 28M here who recently started TRT with hcg 250 iu's EOD, and the bloat in my lower abdomen is driving me insane, which I guess is from the hcg, since it started almost from day one and the test hasn't had time to saturate in my system yet. Is this something that will subside with time? If not, what would be my best bet, lowering my hcg dose or trying an AI? Haven't had bloods done yet but would do so to check my E2 prior to starting an AI if that becomes the case.

I do 500 to 1K a week and don't get any bloat.

When did you start TRT and at what amount? Chances are it's from the test.

I guess it depends on the person- age, shape you're in, etc...

I was surprised how quickly and how much I started to bloat on just 150 TRT weekly, last year. My face got round real fast but not my abs. And I guess that was because I had been doing a ton of cardio during the previous two years.

Thanks for your insight. Did it eventually go away?

It did. After bumping up to 500 for a month I settled at 325 weekly for five months. Very little bloat and it goes away with cardio.

I've recently stopped all test for a month - using only hcg - and have zero bloat. Abs are popping. Cardio is far less than normal as well. Sort of an injection break during her past 30 days. I have lost some size & strength though.
