    Going back to endo, hgh?

    I been on TRT for about a year and half now due to a cyst on my pituitary gland which is causing my low T. I am pretty sure my growth hormone levels are low too. Just had bloodwork done to check those levels a few days ago, waiting on the results now.

    Anyways, if my growth hormone levels are low, do endo's normally prescribe hgh? I'm pretty sure my insurance wont cover it, but I dont mind paying for my quality of life.

    Don't think too many endos are into the HGH protocol, but anything is possible. You will see more opportunity for HGH at the clinic level.

    Yeah I kind of figured that. Well, if I find out my levels are low I think I will just go the UG route

    *update*

    I had my HGH levels checked by my regular GP. She told me my GH levels were next to nothing over the phone. I havent actually got the paperwork and checked my numbers myself. Im only 25 but I have a growth on my pituitary gland which is causing my Low T and it also must be causing my low GH. I have not been able to sleep very well for over a year. I wake up 2-3 times in the middle of the night, I should probably get a sleep study done as well. Im seriously considering getting on HGH now. Next time I go to my Endo im going to ask about getting a script for it. I have read all the benefits of HGH and im really interested in it for getting better sleep and keeping the unwanted fat off. Does insurance cover GH supplementation when your body is barely producing any? I'm also kind of worried about the long term effects of starting GH supplementation at such a young age because it does not look like a lot of studies have been done on this.

    Remember cortisol suppreses GH..

    How is your cortisol?

    If tesstosterone is effected then it is safe to say the others are as well?

    You could try ghrp6 to boost your natural GH see if it kickstarts it?
