Blood work (test/GH/IGF) results in... Any thoughts?

**Smoothb001** · 12-13-2005, 11:41 PM

Hey bro's, got the call today on my blood work and here's how it went...
Any reccomedations on pro's/cons of starting my gear...

Testosterone level: 522 (should be between 262 and 1500)
Growth Hormone level: 2 (average)
IGF level: 386 (was told level was high)
Liver enzymes: 80 (should be between 5 and 40)

I am currently weight 228 lbs, 14% bf, just came off of a 10 week/2 IU (5 on 2 off) kit of Jintropin HGH. I was doing the GH for body rejuvenation purposes. I am 34 and don't show/feel any signs of low test levels, all other tests came back average or great. I have a cycle of Test 400 and EQ Bold 200 waiting- should I begin? I am also on daily liver replenish supps as of this past Sunday (12/11)- any insight will be greatly appreciated!

thx bruthas.... BT

EH! el gearo de mexicano! denkall amigo!

health is always and should always be your number one concern.

i would not start your cycle until you got your liver problem under control. the healthier your liver is, the better gains you get. wait. you wont regret it, for right now take milk thistle , and liv 52. and try not take too many pills.

How many days after you discontinued the HGH did you have blood work done?

I'm interested in the negative feed back loop.

**FranKieC** · 12-14-2005, 02:50 AM

GH does not affect liver values.

I had the blodd work done during my last week of the HGH, i was taking high grams of protein daily (350-400), doc says that could have elevated liver enzymes. they said 80 si not too bad and did not even reccomend anything for me,... ?? I have a buddy who was taking clomid perscribed by his doc and his liver enzymes were 1150... his doc looked at him like he was a ghost! he discontinued and his enzymes are now down to 200.. he is and started the same gear i have (T-400 and Bold EQ 200) - maybe i should tell him to hold off as well.

That explains the elevated IGF levels then.

Also remember that your IGF levels change like the wind. Take 3 blood tests 3 hours apart on the same day and they will be different dependent on when your last GH surge (natural, we have 10 a day) or shot was.

ok, so what if i continue to do the HGH? will my IGF leves skyrocket? or do they fluctuate all the time with additional GH doses? Can the elevated IGF levels cause diabetes? i am just about to get my next GH kit.... thoughts?
