I've been on hCG mono for a little over 2 months. My latest labs showed a dramatic increase in TT and FT. E2 and other levels were fine. Despite all of that, I have gained 10-15lbs. I do workout 6 days a week, I meal prep and track macros and caloric intake. I've had all that dialed in for at least a month now. I didn't really eat bad before starting. I don't drink, though I might have a glass of wine or some whiskey on occasion. I drink a lot of water, no soda or juices. I sweat like I'm running a marathon through a rain forest while wearing a wool suit. All the weight or bloating appears to be in my abdomen. I'm pretty vascular and defined in my arms and legs. I was expecting to lose weight, not gain. And I've seen no increase in muscle size or strength so I don't think it's muscle growth.
Does anyone have any ideas of what may be causing this. TIA!
