One-Sided Lower Abdominal Water Retention – HGH Related?
ad
Looking for some opinions.
About a month ago I switched to a new HGH brand, but kept my HGH dose, testosterone, and Masteron doses exactly the same. About 2 weeks ago I noticed what feels like loose skin or possibly a little fluid in one side of my lower abdomen.
My sensitive E2 is 27, so I don’t think estrogen is the issue. It’s not a visible bulge, and when I stand up straight I don’t really see anything. It just feels different when I pinch the area or bend over, almost like there’s a little fluid under the skin.
Has anyone experienced something similar from HGH? If so, how long did it take to resolve? Did it eventually go away on its own, or was something else causing it?

Sounds like you may not have injected deep enough. Sometimes it can make the skin feel a bit thicker. It absorbs, but more slowly. Most likely scenario.
I inject my hgh in my shoulder or tricep muscle. Only thing I inject in the belly subcutaneously is my Reta twice a week. And m2 daily. It’s not a bulge or anything. Or a knot. Feels like loose skin. It that makes sense.
Have you been injecting your Reta annd m2 into the same areas? If you’re injecting daily it does get difficult to spread out injections.
My next assumption is lipoatrophy. Look it up and see if it fits.
Usually not permanent if you catch it early.
Chat doesn’t think it’s that but I’m gonna go see a doctor lol. Thanks brother
Bro you’re super smart. About 2 weeks ago I need inject them both in the same area. I think you nailed it.
Just been down that road already, brother. Happy to help.
Edit to add- it’ll firm back up. Just move to other areas completely. I hit the love handles/flanks. I get damn near to my back sometimes.
Gotcha. I appreciate you.
Follow up. How big is the area?
