Yeah. I don't think that is enough GH That is only 1-1.2IU's of GH. Is your insurance going to cover the cost?
How much test? Which kind of test?

That is not enough of either
Yep on both counts now. Since you are paying for it and money is not a problem than you should take a minimum of 2IU's per day if you want anti aging and fat loss. 4+ for actual lean muscle gains and anti aging and fat loss. The negative effects with GH are the sides. Swelling fingers, hands go numb, Short term water gain. Nothing to severe! Taken everyday it will change your whole world!muffinmaker said:

If your doc is trying to get you at your high end of acceptable, then you'll be feeling pretty good. I think that the 1-1.5 IU/day amount is fine for anti-aging purposes.
I do agree that many take in the 3-4 IU/day range for more fat loss, etc., but that's an expensive way to go. It's cheaper to clean up the diet, IMO.
I'm guessing your test is 200mg/ml so that 0.4cc puts you at about 80mg/wk. If that amount puts you at the high end of normal, that's great, but if not, you should push your doc to get you up to 100-125mg/wk. Also, I'm assuming you're using a slow acting ester like test cyp or test e, and pinning once per week?
Lastly, has your doc ever spoken to you about HCG? It's relatively common for those doing 1 shot of test per week. If you're pinning on Sun, for example, some people do 250IU of HCG on Fri and Sat, respectively, to keep their levels relatively consistent throughout.

HCG acts like LH, which is a signal to your testes to generate testosterone. Therefore addinng in HCG will act to boost your test levels slightly by supplementing the exogenous test you're injecting with some more test that your body is producing.
When you inject test, your body sees that it has what it needs, and thus LH is not generated to spark more test production. That's what causes you to "shut down" your natural test production. Use of HCG acts to force your body to keep operating (even though you are still technically shut down since it's an artificial boost).
Because your testes are still operating to generate test, your balls will not shrink. Granted, that's more of an aesthetic thing, but most people like things to stay normal. Also, while I can't prove it, I believe that keeping your testes operating in their normal fashion has got to make it easier (not necessarily easy) to restart your own test production if you ever need to come of the test supplementation in the future.
