TL;DR Was an endo diagnosed GH deficient, asymmetric manlet at 14-15. GH was expensive, so gambled with underground GH secretagogue GHRP-6. Escaped manlet hell, but still asymmetric (surgeries s
Current stats: M 23, 184cm, currently 91kg/16.5%.
(I'm gonna use the metric system, cause it's easier. For reference 1 inch = 2.54cm)
Backstory:
As an elementary/ early-middle school student, I was pretty average in height, 7/12 boys in class. But as I entered my sophmore year, I noticed everyone was growing taller, while I had only grown 7cm in the last 2 years. And apart from negatively impacting my at the time promising academy level soccer career (good technique/skills, bad physicality), it obviously had an effect on my social relationships / hierarchy status, so I asked my parents to take me to an endocrinologist. My height was 164cm, 14 years old at the time. 47kgs
After visiting 4 endos in the span of 3 months:
Endo 1 - female verdict: delayed puberty and sold my mom some cope milk shakes filled with sugar and said to drink raw quail eggs every morning (absolute cope).
Endo 2 - female verdict: normal puberty, no need to interfere, just do dead hangs and sports (even worse cope).
Endo 3 - male verdict: prescribed me "GH raising" herb. The only thing it had to do with GH, was Endo 4 the name "fito-somatotrop."
Endo 4 - female vercit: Finally diagnosed with mild hypopituitarism, particularly GH deficiency & subclinical hypothyroidism (blood work attached). She prescribed 50mcg levothyroxine (which I started taking immediately) and 12 iu GH daily, which was over 600 USD monthly, and my family couldn't afford it.
During the 3 month, that I visited the endos I did a shit ton of research myself, mostly on Russian and some English internet sources, regarding both testosterone raising and GH raising compounds. Finally I got into GH secretagogues, and decided that the most optimal course of action was trying to get my hands on GHRP-6 (growth hormone releasing peptide) and use it to get out of manlet hell. Ordering it to my country (Azerbaijan) was risky, so I found a source in Russia, and asked my aunt who lived in Moscow, to bring it here with her. She agreed (based) and brought it.
Protocol (200 USD for the whole 5 months span):
I injected 500 mcg every morning for 2 months. Went from 165 to ~169.
Last 4 months I did 250mcg every morning. Took me from 169 to 173.5.
Weight went from 47 to 55kg.
Assessment:
The reasons for such a great response were:
1. Obvious hormonal deficiency, which required exogenous intervention.
2. Using a relatively high dose for my weight the first two months, which as evident lead to almost the same amount of growth, than the latter 4 months on half of the dose.
3. Ghrelin agonism from the GHRP-6 injections. Since elementary school I always skipped breakfast and had 2 "normal" nutritious a day max. The appetite increase made me eat 5 eggs on a daily, along with 2 complex carbohydrate/protein rich meals, 300 grams of cottage cheese pre bed, and snacking with nuts & some junk food. This in conjunction with some home exercises, created the base for such a growth spurt.
Reasons for stopping:
1. The main reason was that I ordered a kit, which had 5 vials of 10mg, and it finished by mid May
2. I reached 173.5cm, which was in the top 40-45th percentile among my peers, and I, was content about my height at the time.
3. Using GH instead of GHRP, or ideally combining the two, would have obviously yielded a greater result. I think 178 in the time span would've been feasible in my case.
Looking back, I would've obviously ordered more GHRP-6, or dropped out of school for a manual labor job and afforded GH + other anabolics to maximize my growth and development, but I think, the action that I took at that age, helped me a lot!
And ofc, I can't thank my parents for not gaslighting me, and actually taking the issues seriously. Also W aunt.
Here are some pictures attached:
1. Late 2017 – my face before any horminal intervention (14 years old)
2. Late 2017 (bad quality) – physique/frame before any hormones (14 years old. P.S. tippy-toe maxxing lol
3. November 2019 – drug free & and exactly a year into gymcelling. 70kg, 175 cm), 16 years old
4,5&6. Early 2020 (pre-pandemic) – 72kg, 176cm.
7. 2 weeks ago – 93kg, 184cm 5 weeks on 500mg test & 4 iu GH
