[Blood Work 12/9/14] [Private Lab] [Test C 250/Serostim]

It's hard to tell IMO with IGF unless you have a baseline when you're off. IGF also takes time to build up, and it seems from the stuff that I've read that the time people say you need to be on gh to get a proper igf level varies, so to me it's just not something I can really get a handle on. I know that when I'm awake, my GH serum should be 0, the scale is generally 0-10, if I am anywhere in the 20 and above range, while awake, I'd be inclined to believe that the GH is good. It just seems like an easier way to determine the validity of the GH without actually doing some sort of mass spec to it.

EDIT:
@johnnyBALLZ I went through my privatemdlabs history, and I found my tests which put me off from IGF reading for now. My IGF was at 310, which I thought was pretty good, I had no idea what my baseline was. On the same day I got my GH serum test done also, and the serum level was 2.9, which is fucking pitiful. After that, I kinda just tried to rely on GH serum and screw IGF

john is there a women panel package on labsmd like myprivatemdlabs?

I believe so.. Check out posts from @Burrr today, he went into detail on it. I haven't used them yet.

I just found this from greenddog:

This is the hormone panel from labsmd.com:

Description:
***Both MALES and FEMALES order this panel, please be sure to enter the gender that you want reference ranges for when placing your order, as each gender has different reference ranges for these tests. ***
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when menstruation stops permanently. Most women go through menopause between ages 45 and 55. In the US the average age for menstrual periods to stop completely is 51.

This panel will help diagnose the onset of menopause.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
-Complete Blood Count / CBC (includes Differential and Platelets): WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelet Count, MPV and Differential (Absolute and Percent - Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils)
-Comprehensive Metabolic Profile ( includes eGFR ): Albumin, Albumin/Globulin Ratio (calculated), Alkaline Phosphatase, ALT, AST, BUN/Creatinine Ratio (calculated), Calcium, Carbon Dioxide, Chloride, Creatinine with GFR Estimated, Globulin (calculated), Glucose, Potassium, Sodium, Total Bilirubin, Total Protein, Urea Nitrogen
-Estradiol
-Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
-Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
-Testosterone Total LC/MS/MS (This testosterone test will also provide results when the total testosterone value is >1500.)

Patient Instructions: Patient should fast for 12 hours preceding collection of specimen. If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results.

its more expensive then myprivatemd. But thanks that should do. I guess there is no alternative while on tren

IGF looks pretty good. Higher than the highest 18 yr old body can produce naturally. Def good for a (?) early 30 guy ?

Serum test is useful but I believe it will detect a lot of INACTIVE GH molecules ( not a problem with pharma) but IGF truly shows bioactivity. Which is the whole motherf#%&@n point

Your IGF-1 sounds right around what I would expect, no need to worry.

I believe that serum test shows that there is GH but that can be flawed as some peptides can effect the serum test but the igf actually will tell you more about the quality of your GH if I'm not mistaken

No peptide can elevate serum to the 20's after 3.5 hours. But your right, IGF is great indicator of bio activity
