Growth Hormone Blood Levels
ad
Hey guys looking for a little help to make sure I do this right....I was going to set up blood work with my DR for this HGH I got...do you know if there is a certain amount of time after my morning shot that I need to do the test? Do I need to be fasted? ( I hope not bc with this stuff I can't stop eating lol). Is there a specific name for the test I need to do?

Supernova283The lab will tell you whether you need to fast or not. Don't sweat it lab work is a super simple process.
Just try not to pass out
Well, I'm used to doing labs lol. Thanks though. They said not to worry about fasting.
Dont use doctor or risk insurance loss. Quest labs or private med labs.
2weeks normal dose. Dose 3hours prior to test and test. Igf1 test
I was doing the gh test but learned here that gh isnt accurrate and peptides can raise gh. So with igf1 you can see its real and its potency
Thanks, but that kind of sucks I scheduled it with my quest labs at my Dr office. So, are you saying with GH test it could basically show up the same as taking MK-677 ? I just made sure it's the igf1 though...
IGF is the defining factor on whether your GH is legit or not. Back in the day the common practice was to pin 10iu of your HGH IM 3.5-4 hrs before test and monitor the spike in GH levels. We now know that GH spike can be faked by cheap peps pretending to be GH and charging the premium price of GH.
Increasing your IGF can't be faked by cheap peps. Only real HGH will do that so that is why we now test for IGF instead of GH levels. Just pin your normal daily dose for about wks and get IGF levels tested. Really no special pinning protocol other than making sure to be consistent with your dose for about 2wks. Just pin your normal dose morning of test and get tested. time after shot, fasted or not, IM or subq really shouldn't matter. Just don't be doing any of this funky stuff like 5 days on and 2 days off.
Thank you. I'm taking it straight thru. My bloodwork is scheduled for my 12th day on it. You think I should push it out further or I'll be okay ? Also, have you seen anyone take on about 10 lbs of water from HGH? I figured it would be the opposite? I mean I'm eating more calories but still staying high protein low fat, low sodium...
12 days should be ok. Common to retain water with HGH. Normally doesn’t happen that quick though. How much are you using?
I'm just taking 4iu a day....2iu as soon as I wake up and 2iu before bed. I also have experienced the tingling hands and feet. My job requires me to use my hands alot also noticed the carpaltunnel feeling...everything I read I should be 8 weeks in feeling that at least. But I took a picture day 1 injection and day 7 because I knew I was carrying alot of water like its very visibly noticeable. Also my eyes seem to have slightly bulged almost like it's messing with my thyroid I guess? However I do stay on a prescribed diuretic and still holding water...
4iu is big dose to take right away and most never really go above that. Most don't start out that high either. I would expect some extreme CTS and water retention starting that high. Ramp the dose up slowly and you should experience very little CTS or water retention. If symptoms are to harsh I would back it down to 2iu until symptoms go away and then slowly titrate dose back up to your desired cruise dose.
I suggest just ramping up dose to make your HGH run more enjoyable though.
2iu wk1
2.5iu wk 2
3iu wk 3
etc.
If you start to experience annoying or painful CTS or extreme water ret. then just back the dose down again for another week or two until symptoms subside and then work your dose back up again. If you decide to just stay on 4iu and tough out the side effects they should start diminishing after a month or so. Can be a tough month though
Thank you for your knowledge on this....it seems to be harder to find people with knowledge on HGH opposed to Anabolics. I'm on day 12 now at 4iu and the CTS seems to have subsided some compared to the first week. I've looked at pictures it does seem like the water is getting to be a little less now too. I think I'm this far in I may just tough it out. I've really enjoyed the energy I've got from this opposed to something like MK-677 . I look forward to the next 8 months! Once again thanks so much!
Tough it out if you can, especially since you are getting bloodwork done soon and don't want to be changing doses before that.
