HGH Blood Test Results

[spicyer]

Lab paperwork lists normal hgh range 0.0-6.0 ng/ml. I took my first test after a 12 hour fast and it tested 1.0 ng/ml. Second test 30 minutes after 5 iu's im tested 5.7 ng/ml. I'm not sure how to convert these over into the mg's hgh that I took. I am assuming that my 10 iu vial would have about 3.33 mg's so half that would be 1.66 mg's hgh injected. Any thoughts?

1 mg HGH = ~ 3 IUs

1 mg = 1,000,000 ng
1 mg = 1,000 mcg

Average adult male has 4700 mL of blood

What you are trying to do with this information, I don't know. However, the fact that your HGH levels increased by 570% should be a good enough sign that it's working.

I guess I was looking for some huge number, not still in normal range, but I've always felt the hgh Im using is the real deal, "literally". I'm going to do two more experiments next week one using 10 iu's and the next day 5 iu's of a different brand.

I received this info on another forum. I believe that it speaks to the legitimacy of my hgh. Just to double check I am going to do a sub q test injecting the same mg's of hgh and then have blood drawn at 3 hours. Using my previous 30 minute hgh blood draw it would be easy to extrapolate out and be close to these numbers.

Tell me what to say my doc to get him to order me this Igf-1 blood test?

VHK, I couldnt convince my doc to do it. I wont even get into it but needless to say he will no longer be my doc especially since I was getting a test done prior to taking anything to check for red flags

So... I went to directlabs.com its like $65 total and just goto a local LabCorp to have them do the blood part. I did this all yesterday and hope to get results today

One thing to note is the bloodtest specifically said fasting was NOT needed

FWIW I got my results back. This is PRE-HGH

Came back at 0.6 ng/mL

From where I am from this is not possible, as far as I know there has to be a "prescription" from the doc for the labs, before they will conduct them. I've been asking around for a 'favourable' doctor who will not ask any questions or if knowing will not give ultimatums.

Youre not in the states? If you are the service I mentioned will be perfect

Regarding a real doc I saw mine, said I was looking to start taking XYZ and thought it made sense to get tested before I started to ensure there were no red flags. (honestly, this is a very valid reason IMO). This meant the normal tests + the gh. My doc, being a dbag, rolled his eyes at me like I am some punk and proceeded to school me on why Im stupid. So yeh, he lost my business permanently for that. But this DirectLabs thing worked wonderfully. You could get a basic set of tests, gh test and free/used testosterone test all for like $200 approx. Not bad

Based on the chart, providing a blood sample only 30 minutes after your HGH injection would give a result much lower than your peak level... at 30 minutes you will just begin to ramp up the level in your blood.

This is the first I've heard of a test of this type. Are you aware of any lab that would accept a "field" sample, for lack of any better way to say it ?!?

I send in blood to an online test provider, who sends me a "kit", which allows me to provide blood samples to the lab through UPS. However, the only test that they provide, related to HGH, is an IGF-1 test.
