Getting blood work done on HGH

Fullybuilt · Jan 7, 2005

On the 21st im getting blood work done. The works. Looks like im gonna have to hold off on my cycle till Feb but im on HGH only right now. When I get my bloodwork done, what will be diff since im HGH. The doc is really cool but im gonna just tell him im on IGF if you asks. No big deal, he won't tell insurance company. Anyway, what will be off?

Nothing will be "off" if all you are using is hGH. If they are doing a glucose tolerance test (which I doubt) you might show some slight insulin resistance if you are running higher doses.

You really have nothing to worry about.

All I was thinking is that my thyroid might be a little off since im not taking t3.

That is possible, but hard to predict if you would be classified as clinically hypothroid - it might show a slight thyroid suppression with a TSH in the low-normal range. Either way, it would not impact on your insurability and I doubt your average doc would ever suspect hGH use due to a slightyl low TSH lab value.
