This is my first time on HGH. I plan on doing a 6 month cycle and then re-evaluating things then. I'm starting at 2IU ED for a week, then 3IU ED for a week, and then I'm going to level off at 4UI 5/2. I am taking pictures of myself throughout the cycle, and I will eventually post them. It was frustrating to me while I was doing my HGH research over the past 2 months that there are pretty much NO photo logs of people who did HGH. This will be a very accurate photo/HGH log as well because HGH will be the only thing I will be using, so the results will directly reflect the effectiveness of the HGH.
Pre-HGH information:
As of 4/15 - Getting 8-9 hours of sleep every day but still feel tired quite often. Can't force myself to start running, even though I am in some desperate need of regular cardio exercise. Libido is fairly low for me (twice a day), or at least compared to how I was 2+ years ago. I have a very awkward body because I am structurally "skinny" and small-boned, but I currently have significant love handles and belly fat. The result is that any time I gain fat, it is VERY noticable on me because it is all in the mid-section and literally protrudes away from my body. Legs and arms remain thin though.
Day 1 (4/16):
178 pounds
So I did my first HGH injection today. I had a hard time finding anyone who would sell me syringes locally (I have some on order from the internet), but I eventually found a private pharmacy who would sell me some. They only had 1/2 CC insulin syringes though, even though I wanted 1 CC ones.
I've never done any sort of injections before, so I went through quite a few needles due to my inexperience. I forgot to pull air out of the vial before I loaded my syringe with sterile water, so I had to use one for that, and then I found out that 1/2 CC of sterile water isn't really enough to mix with 10IU of HGH so I had to use another syringe to add another 1/2 CC since I had already disposed of the first one. Then I used a fresh syringe to draw out the mix since I am paranoid of injecting with a dull needle from all the reading I have done about HGH injections! lol
Didn't hurt much, although I definitely prefer someone else giving me a shot as opposed to jabbing myself. Had a few minutes of a slight burny sensation, but it quickly dissipated. There's some slight red blotchiness around the injection site.
End of Week 1 (4/23)
Weight: 176 pounds (my weight can fluctuate +/- 2 pounds so I'm not attributing this to the HGH yet)
Dosage: I started off doing 3 days at 3IU in the AM, then bumped it up to 4IU for 3 days as I was getting no side effects. Yesterday and today I did 10IU injections to try and verify if my HGH is legit. I had a mild headache yesterday (which I get fairly often so I'm not sure if it's HGH related) and possibly some achiness, but I'm really not sure if it's in my head or not because i WANT the HGH to be the real deal. This morning I just did my second 10IU shot and I'll do one more tomorrow. If I'm still not noticing some serious side effects, I think it's safe to say my HGH isn't HGH. I've seen some logs here with people noticing the numbness and tingling after like day 2 at 2IU so I'm not too confident in my HGH at this point.
Sleep: No change
Libido: No change or possible a tad lower than normal
Diet: I've been trying to clean up my diet a bit. Making myself lunch every day is a biggie because otherwise I resort to buying fast food or ordering delivery with the guys at work out of convenience.
