So I was off a certain compounded pharmacy brand of GH wich it took about 3 months before I started to feel anything remotely related to taking HGH. Now I had been without GH for about 4 months. I didn't do the generic figured I would try and get my insurance to cover it. So it had to be name brand. So got my Ginotropin started using it Feb. Script was for 4 IU a day. I said I would start with 2 and see if I would have to work my way up. So now we are on 2nd week and I kid you not I feel like I was on before I got off. Which to me means that the stuff I was getting before was IN MY OWN OPINION weak. I don't think I will ever use anything other. Now I have new insurance and it covers and only offers lilly product for 100. bucks I get a 90-day supply. Plus that's needles and cotton swabs included. 4 IU a day and it name brand. All I can say is sweet. But I still love my old Cigna Health plan. They covered everything. The insurance we have now doesn't cover jack. My test/thyroid/gh isn't covered at all. Glad my wife's company got a new plan. They freaking need it.
