I have done quite a bit of reasearch and I am afraid the answer to my question will be "inconclusive" however I will ask it anyway in the hopes to get some educated and professional opinions.
My background I have used steroids for a decade and decided to stop about 6 months ago primarily because of my concerns for cardiac problems later in life and the fact theat I was really larger than I should be for health reasons. I easily could get up close to 250 at 5'11'' at less than 10% BF but I was uncomfortable at this wait developed athma and other breathing problems. I had reduced dosages greatly and had been using growth hormone for the past 2 years and really responded well to it even at low doses. So around Sept I finished off with some low dose HCG and conitnued with 3iu/day of Jintropin. I wanted to see if my natural test could come back and I knew it would be a slow process but I believe the growth helped enormously. After 2 months I dropped down to 2iu/day of Jin and still saw and felt the benefits of the GH, the only thing that changed was I didn't feel that carpal tunnel sypmtoms in the morning. I have cotinued the 2iu to present. Today - 6 moths later, I beleive my natural test has recovered sufficiently at this point based on the fact that my ball are back to normal size and my sex drive is decent (however not like it is on a gram of test
). I have not had bloodwork at this point however I really feel good and wanted to continue with the GH indefinitely. - This takes us to my question. I have seen many studies which show the relationship towards left ventricle wall thickness and the use of GH to the point that I am quite concerned about it. At 32 years old after years of use I am quite sure I am very low on natural GH and would like to continue using indefinitely for the rest of my life if this will not cause future left ventricle issues, is 2iu/day a minimal enough dose to avoid cardiac problems? Is it safe to stay on this dose for years? Should I cycle? I have considered dropping the dose to 1.5iu/day. Growth has been a godsend for me and most of my friends look at me at the gym and can not believe that I am not using juice. AT this point in my life I am 228 very lean (probably close to 7-8%; 6% with calipers but don't trust it) and feel great train hard and don't see myself ever ABUSING/using steroids again unless my natural levels decline to an unacceptable level and I do HRT in clinical doses. ANy insight would be appreciated as to whether this is a safe route to take.
