    How long should I run gh before testing IGF-1?

    Been on HGH for 2-1/2 weeks and wanted to know how long I should wait for an accurate reading, one that would reflect the presence of the HGH I'm running.

    Any sound advice from the experienced in this area would be greatly appreciated.

    I got tested at week 5 and saw a 140 point IGF increase. Not sure if you need to wait that long though.

    In addition to a IGF-1 you also need to do a growth Hormone Serum blood test. This will give you a better idea if your GH performance. Do the blood work three hours after your pin

    I had serum and igf-1 tested a few days into my run. Pinned 10iu IM in my delt 3-12hrs before blood drawn. Serum was 32.9ng/ml and igf-1 was 178, hence my inquiry about how far into my run until I can get an accurate igf-1 reading.

    HGH works within an hour after you inject. Your body also secretes natural pulses of GH throughout the day. If you want to see if you got good HGH then do this. Pin the HGH and get blood work done in about 30min to an hour after the injection. You should see your IGF level rise, if the stuff is legit.

    I wasn't sure that a single shot of HGH would raise IGF-1 as it does with gh blood serum. I thought it takes a while for IGF-1 to be raised to a high level after a few weeks of HGH.

    I came to that conclusion as well after some research. I just had blood drawn today after 5weeks at 4iu's ed. Fingers crossed.
