Hey everyone,

Next week I’m finally getting my growth plates checked, which is a big step for me before I even think about starting rHGH. Once I know where I stand, the next big question is: do I really need to do all the bloodwork people talk about? Full panels (IGF-1, testosterone, E2, free T, DHT, thyroid, cortisol, prolactin, liver enzymes, HbA1c, fasting glucose) are expensive, and at 15, I’m pretty broke. Insurance might cover it if I can give the doctor a convincing reason, but I’m not sure what to say to get everything checked. Has anyone here found a way to make it affordable or at least get the key markers covered?

The second thing I’m still figuring out is the IU math. I see doses written in IUs, but I don’t fully understand how many IUs are in a typical vial, whether every IU comes pre-measured, or exactly how to reconstitute with BAC water. If anyone has a simple breakdown (especially for a 0.076 mg/kg/day dose for a 49 kg person), I’d really appreciate it.

Third, titration speed—how fast should I ramp up to my target dose, and what kind of schedule works without blowing my blood sugar or causing sides?

Finally, the cardio + Acipimox or Empagliflozin combo keeps coming up for glucose control. Which one is better, do I need to source them separately, and are they expensive? I already have a list of supplies I’ll need:

  • 200–400 × 31 G 1 ml 6–8 mm insulin syringes
  • rHGH
  • 200–400 × alcohol wipes
  • BAC water
  • Glucose monitor (CGM or regular BGM)
  • Test strips & lancets
  • Sharps container
Bloodwork timing mentioned in another thread is:

  1. Baseline (full hormonal panel)
  2. After reaching highest dose
  3. 48 h after last injection
I get that these checks are ideal, but the cost is real. Any experiences or work-arounds would be super helpful.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll update once I have the growth-plate results. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Bloodwork and GH in the same sentence. Lmao.
 
Days 1-3: 3IU
Days 3-5: 4IU
Days 5-7: 6IU
Days 7-8: 8IU
Days 8-10: 9IU
Days 10-End of cycle :

its .07mg*kg

you said you are 49kg so .07*49+3.43

3.43mg *3 = 10 ius daily
1mg = 3ius

lmaoo this is all off my guide. i made mistakes. Acipimox + Empag is. A nono, if u can afford acipimox use it but never use them tg.
bloodwork would be neccesary if ur on a whole cycle with androgens etc. I literally also said that 1 mg is 3IU if you cant do the math for that please never hop on.

thank you alot, sorry if i was suppost to give u credits or sum, ancipimox is expensive as shit js like empag, but ion knpw what else to do against high bs. Also i ll prolly only take hgh not any other shi like androgens so, no bloodwork nesceserry?
 
continue to cope with hgh lmao

ya bro let me speed up my development perhaps even stunt for no "height" gains it promises.
i am prolly at the end of puperty/growing so why not take it know?

why would you ever take it, its cope lmao, all the "height" youll get stems from spinal water retention.

shows your a young gullible teen that doesnt do enough research

it requires years for ai s to give u benefit on their own? so could mix em w gh

from studies with 2 to 3 years of ai use

after 2 years bone age was 1 year and 8 months, meaning 4 months delayed
after 3 years bone age was 2 years and 5 months meaning 7 months delayed.

takes years for it to work, so if your plates are meaningfully open then take ais, if there not then thats that.

U don’t really need to get plates checks nessisarily at 15 u likely are still growing and there are a lot of factors u can guess on, for example how much have you grown in the past year. If its 2 inches or greater, your plates are most definitely open
