So today(technically yesterday) was 5 weeks in on using hgh. I quickly titrated up to 4 ius a day after the first week. I wasn’t sure it was working as I’ve not had any side effects I’ve read about.

I was getting a little frustrated with myself as I’ve been stuck at the same weight for over a month despite being in a deficit, so today I decided to get a DEXA scan done. It’s been about 3 months since my last one and I’d only lost about 5 lbs since then when my goal was at least 12. I was hoping I’d maybe been recomping a bit. My waist measurements had been trending down so I had hope. Well, according to the scan, I’ve actually lost 9 lbs of fat and gained 4 lbs of muscle. Since I started getting scans I’ve been losing fat and a little bit of muscle pretty much every scan, but this is the first that I’ve put on.

I think the HGH is responsible, and also probably the fact that I’m not in such a severe deficit. I was targeting 2 lbs a week for about a year, and lost about 90 lbs, but then the tirz stopped affecting me as much despite being on the max dose. I got a blood test on Monday but still waiting for the results but I’m pretty sure the GH is working and hopefully will see the other benefits of it soon.
