Testing for IGF-1 and timing of hgh injection

[fm2002]

I have an appointment @ 02:30PM to give blood for many things including IGF-1 Should I go ahead with my normal 6am hgh injection on the day of the blood test?

How long have you been on?

After just a few weeks I believe timing from injection doesn't matter, I could be wrong but I believe they stay elevated after youve been on for a bit despite the timing of your daily injection. GH serum levels are a different story.

Maybe others will chime in n confirm

If you want to check your peak IGF-1 level give yourself the HGH injection about an hour before the test.

That's right, igf will peak about an hour post injection but when taken regularly will be constantly elevated and never return to baseline if taken daily.

If you pin 1 hour beforehand than in essence you are only testing the vial from which you just drew from. I'm most interested in my supply and levels over the long run.

Given that let me explain my unique timing situation. Because of where I live and where I will be tested the time difference is extreme. So I normally pin my hgh around 5-7am my time which equates to 12noon - 2pm where I'll be soon to be tested time. During my traveling I try to maintain my pins at the same times as if I'm home. So I'll pinning my hgh 10 - 12midnight.

So should I pin my hgh at 11pm when I will be giving blood at 7am keeping in mind overall IGF-1 levels are what are important to me? Or should I skip this one pin?
