[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 223531, member: 15043"] Hmmm, so not totally sure about the HGH if u took ur last shot at night. I only know what IGF-1 levels are supposed to look like while on 3iu’s/ day when taking ur IGF-1 shot about 2 hours prior to testing. I was using 3iu’s of generic HGH and tested 2 hours after my morning injection, on two occasions, and my igf-1 level came back at 378 on one test, and 405 on another. And I’ve talked to a few guys taking generic HGH and on the same amount of iu’s, and also testing about 2 hours after their morning shot, and they all were either in the high 300’s or very low 400’s. So only thing I can think of is next time u test ur IGF-1, maybe take ur shot in the morning prior to testing the day of the test, or maybe do ur shot in the AM for about a week prior to getting labs done It’s really I interesting about ur thyroid. Ur TSH is clearly in hypothyroid territory, yet ur free T3 and free T4 levels look great. But unfortunately this doesn’t tell us the whole picture without knowing ur reverse T3 level. Maybe ur reverse T3 is high, which somewhat negates free T3. Free T3 is like the gas, and reverse T3 is like the break. So maybe u have a high reverse T3, canceling out some of ur free T3, and ur body feels like u need more thyroid hormones, hence ur TSH being high. Or maybe u have an issue at the receptor level.
