    4IUs chinese gh first day - anyone with experience?

    Ill be starting GH in one week and am curious if anyone has started with 4IUs on day 1.
    I spoke to an endocrinologist and he stated I shouldn't have any problems with 4IUs on the first day, but I have the option of starting with 2IUs for 1-2 weeks, then 3 for 1-2 weeks, and finally 4.

    I'm curious to see what people have experienced as far as swelling, ct, joint pain, etc if they started with 4IUs.

    QUESTION 2
    As far as syringes, Ill be using U-100, 1cc 30 gauge x 5/16", is this recommended? I've read others using 30 gauge x 1/2"

    Thank you

    If its chinese, you probably are good to start with 4. However there is nothing worse than developing bad sides and then having to wait for them to subside before continuing on with cycle, believe me it isn't an experience you want to have. That ramp up in my Opinion would be critical for pharma grade.

    I started with 1 unit for a couple days...then 2 units and when I jumped to 2 units I had the WORST headache and SO SO TIRED I could hardly move....could not get off the couch. So after searching around the forum here. I noticed it was suggested to cut back and ramp back up. Being this tired prevented me from doing any kind of excercise.Those tired days (which felt great actually...supreme rest) were lost workout days.

    then....came the bloat....

    Keep in mind that the starting dose and continuing use dose for a man vs woman are very different, also at 30 your body is still producing more than it will be as you continue to age. I started at age 40 and 1.5 units (keeping in mind I was using prescription pharma grade).

    HGH is a long term use compound. There's no rush, is there? Just start low, like 3iu/ed and work up 1iu every 10 or so days. You can eliminate most of the uncomfortable sides if you start low and increase slow.

    Thanks all,

    No rush just wanted to see if anyone had experience with 4IUs from the start. I don't mind starting with 2-3 to guage my sides then ramping up to 4

    Keep in mind the sides will take some time to develop. Start with 1 or 2 and increase by 1 after several weeks. Your most likley not to see any sides right away, at least I didn't.

    i started with 2iu about two years ago (and am doing 2iu/day now). when i initially went up to 4iu, i did 2 - 2iu shots every day (morning and afternoon).

    i use 30iu syringes and always mix my HGH 10:1, ie 1ml of water with 10iu HGH, so a typical 2iu dose would be a 20iu injection. if you're not going to be taking more than 30iu per injection, the smaller syringes are easier to use imo.
