Im gonna finally prove if HGH can shut you down.

Fullybuilt · Aug 20, 2006

Ok, so seems like nobody knows the anwser %100 to this so im gonna try to figure it out. I've been on GH since Jan 05. Started at 4iu's 5on/2off for about 5months, then always stayed on 2-3iu's ED to maintian and sometimes took a 10day break here and there. Then last jan06 I did 6iu's 6days on/1off for about 4months and maintained again. The past few months i've been only doing 10iu's per week split in 2shots per week. So its been about 1year and 6months since i've been on HGH. My last shot was 2weeks ago. I don't feel any diff. A little less full but thats about it. I know only way to really prove this is to get bloodwork done, so im gonna get my IGF levels tested by directlabs.com Now I was thinking 1month off would be plenty of time to see if my natty GH came back or even was shut off to begin with. Should I wait another 2weeks so I hit the 1month mark or should I get it tested now? The only way this could be off is if my natty GH levels were low before I even started HGH, but thats doubtful b/c I stared GH at 22years old and im not 24. So i'll keep everyone updated.

I would do it now and then again at one month to see if your were down or getting back to normal etc.MM

I would be intrested to know. Keep us posted.

It's a well established fact (look in any medical textbook) that hGH is subject to a negative feedback loop- therefore using exogenous hGh will shut down your natural supply of it. In fact, since IGF-1 is part of hGH's negative feedback loop, using IGF-1 will also shut down your hGH production.

Anthony, how long does it usually take for natural GH levels to come back to normal? Also, is there a clomid like substance that would work to restore natural GH out there?

Most people stay on GH for years and i've never heard of a case where they have been shut down. How is it possible. Maybe its like the thyroid that usually bounces back right away? So like Q said, how long does it usually take for natty GH levels to return b/c i've been on GH for 1.6years and been off for about 2weeks now and don't feel shut down at all. I guess only a blood test can prove it.

I've been on GH months at a time as well & when I stop, I feel no difference. I just piss out a few lbs of water & that's that. Fell fine. However, when I stop test. Man o man, it gets ugly. When it comes to thyroid use, same thing. When I stop, I usually go on high doses of Syntrax Guggle & it's not so bad either. I'd really like to hear what an endocrinologist would say about all this.

Well, I just got my lab results back. Kinda shitty. The range for IGF is 116-358 and I was 141. I never knew what they naturally were before starting GH, but that sucks, so looks like im gonna stay on 2iu's ED forever now. The dr. said at my age(24) my levels should have been around 250 so im about 100 lower. Maybe it was the GH that did it, maybe not. Anyway im gonna always use the 3x per week protocol now, so my natty productions will still stay ok.

Fullybuilt · Sep 10, 2006

Ohh yah I forgot to add. I didnt notice much diff when I was off GH. Maybe my levels were always naturally at 141, but then again I was on 400mg test prop during my 1month off of GH b/c I didnt wanna take any chances. I did notice a little more fat gain that normal when I did maintaince doses of GH at 2-3iu's EOD.

THIS WAS AN INTERESTING POST.

GOOD TO SEE THAT YOU GOT THOSE TEST DONE JUST TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST.

Qwert · Sep 10, 2006

To have know for sure, it would've been best to take a test before starting the GH & then after, so you could compare & be 100% sure. You never know, you may have had low IGF levels before starting your program. Either way, thanks for letting us know of your results.

One shitty thing I just realized was I was taking nolvadex and test prop when I got the test done, and doesnt nolva raise IGF levels. I was only on 10mg but still, that means im probably even lower. I have a feeling my #'s would have been higher if I waited longer. I mean, I was on HGH for 1.5years and only took 30days off. Maybe if I got tested 60days it would have been more accurate. Oh well, I already pre-mixed an old jino and couldnt wait any longer. Feels great being back on GH instantly

What kind of benefits did you see from the HGH for bodybuilding? I know that we want to keep levels normal obviously, but what's the consensus to elevating levels for bodybuilding. It seems pretty controversial. Really expensive. What's your experience.

Nolva actually lowers IGF levels but test increases them so difficult to say what conclusions to draw from your tests really

true, either way if nolva does lower its like 20% so I was 141, i'd still be unhappy with 170. Ohh well.

I use the generic hgh so its not that expensive. I notice a big diff while on it though. Most dont get great results but mine were fantastic. I liked it better than AAS. That leads me to belive my levels were naturally low.

Any input from ALMOST PRO?????
