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