No you are not throwing your money away. Unfortunately, the benefits are mild and difficult to notice. I am a 38 year old man and personally take approximately 3.3 IU's per day. This is 3 times what I am actually prescribed, but I want to benefit from the weight loss properties as well.
Recently, studies show that 1 IU is actually a better number than .5IU's which was commonly prescribed. Unfortunately the HGH manufacturer is not going to lower the price to accommodate the suggested increase in dosage. At least I have not heard of this; I simply was told I could start taking twice as much.
Now, with regards to cost, you described a price that is common when purchasing HGH from a pharmacy. On this board we are not allowed to discuss pricing, but I do not think this is with regards to pharmacy costs. There are places abroad that make HGH as well. Some people do not believe it is as strong while others claim it is as equally strong. I take generic HGH, and know it to be real, but do not know how to compare to US HGH as I have never taken any.
If you talk to your doc, he/she may write you a prescription for a generic HGH and then if you order it oversees you will probably not get into any trouble providing you had a prescription for it. Also, you could then take a little more than you are supposed to if you are so inclined. I do not know anything about females taking HGH therefore can not offer any suggestions other than make sure you read into this and discuss this with others on the board that us it.
Good Luck.
