[QUOTE="Amacher, post: 115017, member: 18637"] Thank you for the reply Dr. McClain, I don't know if you ready previously, but I am a 28 year old male, former collegiate football player, 6'2" 340 lbs, 26% bf, and diagnoses with AGHD by my endocrinologist. I am on 250mg of Test E as part of my TRT as well as 0.3mg of Genotropin ED. I am satisfied with being on 250mg of Test E per week, but want to increase my rhGH dose to 1.2mg (4IU) or even as high as 1.5mg (5IU). My endo requested blood work to be done, and one of them included IGF-1 serum levels. I stopped taking my prescribed Genotropin dose for ten days. On the morning of tenth day, I fasted, and had my blood drawn at 1pm (I woke up at 8am that morning). Now, I did a blood draw with a private lab before the blood draw with my endo, and by taking 0.3mg rhGH-Genotropin, my IGF-1 serum levels were at 340 ng/mL, which is really high (interval: 87ng/mL to 255 ng/mL). Hopefully, by taking ten days off of my rhGH daily dose, my IGF-1 serum levels are <87ng/mL or def in the lower tier of that interval. Do you think my levels will drop off low enough, so my endo will prescribe me more Genotropin? That is the goal here. I want more legally prescribed rhGH from my doctor, and my insurance pays 100% of it! Thanks, Ryan [/QUOTE]
