Looking to See if HGH is Any Good - Blood Work

[onefm]

So I started a little program to get back into shape. I'll post details and blood results below. Obviously the testosterone is good, but I am uncertain about the HGH. I've been told that testosterone can increase your IGF-1 levels.


Pre Program Levels (Before test or HGH)
Testosterone Total - 269 ng/dL
Testosterone Free - 54.4 pg/mL
IGF-1 - 142 ng/mL
Estradiol - 21 pg/mL

Program so far
5 Weeks - Sustanon 300mg/wk split
4 Weeks - Toptrope hgh 1.5 IU ed


This Weeks Blood Work
Testosterone Total - 2097 ng/dL
Testosterone Free - 876 pg/mL
IGF-1 - 242 ng/mL
GH - 1.3 ng/mL
Z Score male - 1.2
Estradiol - 109 pg/mL



I have some Arimidex handy for the estrogen issue, but it looks like my HGH is not good, or under dosed.

HGH can increase your igf levels. How much are you taking and when was bloodwork relative to your last dose?

Edit: oops sorry, I see 1.5 iu.

I had the blood test within 2 hours of the last HGH dose. I'm wondering if my IGF-1 increase is from the testosterone alone.

The IGF-1 response seems to vary from person to person. On strictly TRT, my IGF-1 is slightly over the top of LabCorp range. Somewhere around 230-ish

After 3 weeks of 1.8 iu of Serostim on a 5 on,2 off schedule, my IGF-1 is in the mid-400s.
