OP
I started at 2iu and watched for sides then did 3 then 4. It was all within a few weeks. I don't notice sides at 4 but it seems to be a good spot for me with the benefits I'm seeing

I didn't do baseline blood work before starting hgh so I don't want to push it in case I'm a hyper responder so to speak

Yeah that makes sense. That’s my plan as well, start at 2iu then 3 then 4, don’t plan to go above that. I’m not doing bloodwork either. Do you plan to come off it eventually? Or just gonna keep taking it?

I’m 3 months into hgh and did a similar route as cristino, started at 2iu and worked up to 4 iu over the course of 2 weeks. No sides besides occasional stiffness in hands

Sleep quality has massively improved along with subcutaneous- I think it’s water or fat- clearing up causing good vascularity. Only at 3 months so excited to see what the 6 month mark looks like

That sounds promising. Did you source it from here? Stiffness in hands might be too high of a dose? Maybe going down to 3.5iu is a sweet spot but you said it’s occasional so not that big of a deal.

Yeah when I first started I noticed stiff/numb-ish hands but it's all g now. I think I will stay on for as long as it seems worth it. I still have a long way to go, one of my big goals is to keep the weight off long enough so my skin tightens up again

Heard it’s a long game with HGH. Luckily if you come off it then your body will start producing its own again. Did you get it from this server or somewhere else?

Yup, bought twice from here now. First time I got the black caps, second order the yellow caps. Both h36

That’s good to hear. I was honestly contemplating between HGH or a tesa/ipa cycle but it seems HGH is the clear winner especially if you do lowerish doses plus it’s so much cheaper..

Hgh is definitely better then any secretagogues

Yeah it definitely is. I have a kit of CJC/IPA that I may as well just throw out since I don't have a reason to ever use them

How would you compare between the two? (Cjc+ipa vs HGH). The thing is I don’t wanna be hon HGH forever though so that’s where I considered a tesa/ipa cycle..

The half life of all secretagogues (except cjc with dac) is very short which will give you a short burst of extra gh but the extra you do get is low, so with hgh you can take more and is better tolerated at higher dosages, it's effects are generally better for fat lipolysis , increased igf levels and side effects are more predictable with hgh which makes them easier to prevent

Imo hgh is better in all aspects

Ive always hated the flush from CJC/IPA also. Sometimes my anxiety gets triggered and makes me feel like I'm going prophylactic

Your body will go back to produing hgh even after 1+ year so that is nothing to worry about
