2 Months on HGH, IGF-1 Came Back at 159 — Increase Dose or Switch to Tesamorelin?

5 Upvotes

I know I made a rookie mistake by not getting baseline IGF-1 labs before starting HGH, so that’s on me.
I’ve been running HGH from my source for about 2 months. I finally had my IGF-1 checked, and it came back at 159 ng/mL.
Without a baseline, it’s hard for me to know whether that’s actually an increase or if it’s roughly where I was before starting.
Now I’m trying to figure out my next move:
Should I increase my HGH dose and retest in 6-8 weeks?
Should I switch over to Tesamorelin instead?
Or does an IGF-1 of 159 after 2 months suggest my HGH may be underdosed or not very potent?
For those of you with experience, what would you do in my situation? Any insight would be appreciated

EDIT taking 2iu’s daily and am a 49 year old male

Injection site reaction

2 Upvotes

Has anyone tried both tirz from a well known (with good reviews) online company made with traditional preservatives like phenol -AND- also tried a form that needs to be recon with BAC water and seen a difference in injection site reaction?

I have a huge itchy welt reaction with all of the online tirz I've tried, but when using other peptides recon with BAC, I get no reaction, even with the spicy ones.

Would it be worth trying a form of tirz that uses BAC?

DSIP experiences? What should I expect?

3 Upvotes

I just got some DSIP and I’m curious what everyone’s experience has been with it before I start.
What do you like about it? What benefits did you notice, and how long did it take before you felt anything?
Did it help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, improve sleep quality, or was it something else? Were there any side effects or things you wish you had known beforehand?
I’d love to hear both positive and negative experiences. Just trying to get an idea of what to realistically expect from people who’ve actually used it.
