Blood Work & HGH

[onefm]

When is a good time to get some blood work after starting HGH? I'd like to check and verify all the levels.

Couple hours should suffice before testing IGF-1.

Does supplementing testosterone increase IGF-1? How can I test to show if specifically my HGH is good?

Yes, test can increase GH and vice versa.
Do what Vette said above. But first you should know what your baseline IGF-1 level is otherwise you won't know how effective the product actually is.
If you normally would run say 2 IU's daily then double it the morning of the test.

The last blood work I got was before starting test or HGH. So it looks like the IGF-1 level there wouldn't work. Would it be better to stop the HGH temporarily and get a baseline?

Trying to determine how much test inceases IGF-1 is worthless imho.
So you do have a baseline just now you're on test. Do what we spoke of above and run your test and compare the difference in IGF-1 level.
I would not go through the trouble of stopping, testing, starting and testing again.
