    Igf and serum blood results

    I purchased 4 months worth of genotropin goquick Pens. The goal is to run 3iu for 2 years and hopefully for life.

    This is not via script but I researched the source extensively. They get “pharm” hgh from turkey. I matched the serial numbers to the site and it checked out. The product looks identical to the product I previously had prescribed from a clinic.

    *the source actually credits you $100 if you do baseline and post bloodwork and share it with them which would indicate them being legit since they want you to do bloods.
    *I haven’t experienced any sides of carpel tunnel, or tingling as I previously did with 3 iu
    *I did experience lethargy and sleepiness the first week.
    I will do another bloodwork in 2 more weeks at 4iu

    What do you think?

    Baseline:
    Insulin -Like Growth Factor I: 114 range (83-233)
    Growth Hormone , Serum: 3.4 range (0-10)

    2 weeks later.
    Week 1: i injected 1.8iu daily of “pharm” grade genotropin via goquick pen
    Week 2: I infected 2.7iu daily of “pharm” grade genotropin via goquick pen

    Did bloodwork fasted 45-55 mins after morning injection of 3iu

    2weeks in results:
    Insulin-like growth factor 1: 176 Range (83-233)
    Growth hormone, serum: 2.3 range (0-10)

    to my knowledge, serum and igf levels will fluctuate quite a bit depending on different factors (such as time of day). Those numbers dont seem right to me, but I don't know much about it. So I am following to see what the vets say

    GH serum is so variable it's not worth checking - just IGF1.

    Are you doing 7 days a week or 5on/2off?

    I would recheck in 3-4 weeks as you are still early on.

    As of right now your IGF is low but again it's early in

    I’m doing 5 on and 2 off and 100mcg t3 along with my injection.

    The blood drawn 2 weeks after i started hgh was taken at 8:48 am last Monday about 45-60 mins after I injected 2.7 iu of hgh. This was my first shot of the week after the 2 day weekend off with no injections.

    Aside question, when doing 5 on 2 off, do I still take the t3 on the days off? Thanks

    You want T4 (I cannot say how much), not t3.
    HGH increases t3 production and lowers t4. You need a balance of the two to yield results.
    But yes, you would still take the t4 on days off, because the production is still blunted since levels are still high

    I would've expected higher IGF-1 values. My last run of 1.8 iu of Serostim 5 on/2 off had me at 407ng/mL. If I recall correctly that was 2 weeks into the run.

    My baseline is usually around 200-230 ng/mL.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
    A minimum of 100 posts and 45 days membership required for source checks. Source checks are performed at my discretion.
