Prepping for IGF1 bloodtest, quick help

[Roach]

I actually posted this within another thread here but though I might get a better response on its own thread.

Basically Ive been throttling up to 6iu per day (7days a week) since September 1st. My test is tomorrow around 11am, and while I normally pin just once a day at 630am, I think tomorrow I will pin around 9am so its closer to the bloodtest draw.

Anything Im missing or does this jive? Also I still have the option of getting additional testing done at the same time (such as GH Serum), any need to do so?

Thanks all

what IGF? Des IGF or IGF LR 3?

6 IU ? 6 IU doesn't mean anything..
i guess you are referring to 1mg/1ml so ... 6 IU would be 60mcg

i guess you ll be good if you pin 2h before blood test... but noone can really tell half life of those 2 IGF's

Actually along the same lines, I did have a day or two where I went to 7iu after questioning how effective what Ive been using is. Id like to not skew the results, so does it make more sense to have a good 7days under my belt of 6iu before being tested? Rather, so I know the numeric value represents 6iu of the GH as opposed to possibly 7

Hope that makes sense. Im sure Im overthinking this, but want to be sure its right

Thanks

I pinned my HGH 1 hour before my test and got significantly higher IGF-1 numbers than baseline.

make sure you DO NOT fast. take youre gh 1-3 hours pre draw. so I would take your dose, 20 min later eat, then drive to your appt...

My appt was moved to 8am next Wed, so I will pin my normal time of 630 and then eat my normal time of 715am. This my normal routine, any issues?

nope, i would eat a little sooner than that but I dont think it really matters much

Sounds good roach, listen to Jesse he has holes up and down his arm from all the testing he has been doing recently

We are going to see what goes on with the fasting this wed. I'm not going to eat for 12 hours before I have my blood drawn.

shit man I didnt know that! keep me in the loop bro!

lol yes yes more tests!!! :headbang:

do you always eat within 30min of pinning? I ask because starting next week im going to take my 6iu at once and split to 2x 3iu/day

For my 2nd pin, I generally have my last meal (2 scoops casein) at 11pm, so should I put at 1030? Was thinking of pinning more like 9 or 930 so further from sleep time, but any insight is appreciated

Thanks
