For the ones that haven't seen my previous posts, I was on 5IU HGH daily for around 6 weeks. Got bloodwork done before and during pinning.
Insulin from 9 µIU/mL to 28 µIU/mL.
Fasting glucose went from 104 mg/dL to 107 mg/dL (was already pretty high, but still rose unfortunately)
Estradiol went from 13.6 pg/mL to 34.6 pg/mL (awful effect and idk why tbf)
FT4 (thyroid) went from 12.15 pmol/L to 8.27 pmol/L (thyroid function got cooked a bit)
Since basically everything got cooked, I hopped off. And now it's been 8 weeks without HGH.
Today I got another screening done and here are the results:
Insulin went back from 28 µIU/mL to 8 µIU/mL - so I'm back to normal, even lower than before HGH.
Fasting glucose went from 107 mg/dL to 96.8 mg/dL - still not the best, but actually within the "normal" range.
Estradiol went from 34.6 pg/mL to 18.8 pg/mL - still a bit elevated, but nothing to worry about and luckily I don't need to introduce AI lmao.
FT4 went from 8.27 pmol/L to 13 pmol/L - I have Levothyroxine Sodium pills at home, but seems like they won't be necessary.
So yeah, most of it is back to normal thankfully. Was fun to try and since it took away my fear of pinning, it had at least one upside lmao.
Today I pinned my first Retatrutide dose (only 0.5mg, just to be sure I'm not prone to some bad sides)
Hope all your lives are going well, I got the classic winter depression shi again, but I'll be aight.
Much love to everyone
