growth hormone HRT without Testosterone

[RobertD1885]

I could not find discussion along these lines in other threads. I suppose this is two separate but related questions:

1. Is anyone supplementing with HGH injections but without Testosterone? Would it ever make sense to do this? I understand from a price standpoint one gets a bigger bang from their buck from testosterone and that is a strong motivation for most people, but it is worth a few thousand dollars a year to me (I am self pay, and well off) to not mess with my natural testosterone production, as I would like to have children some day.(conversely I see not great reason to not mess with my natural HGH production)

2. When evaluating patients, my doc, and as best as I can tell most every other doc, just looks at the testosterone levels in one's blood test. I don't have a PhD, but it seems to me that testosterone is made by the testes (and to a lesser extent the adrenals), and HGH is made by the pituitary gland, and that they should have separate blood levels. Prior blood work has always resulted in results showing normal levels of Testosterone for me. Yet, I go through protracted periods of fatigue, and can't help but think that HGH might be effective in lifting that fatigue. Is it possible that one can have normal testosterone levels but be producing low levels of HGH?

I see nothing wrong with it. If gh does what you want i would certainly consider using just that.

stats ? yes u can do gh therapy alone and not being concerned about natural gh secretion, and yes u can have a normal level of testosterone with a low level of gh.

IME and IMO .... hgh and testo are partners for effective hrt. If you are ticking along with one iu of hgh eod, two 75 mg injections of test p every 84 hours and 0.25 mg a-dex every 84 hours, you are going to feel GREAT and your blood test/exam numbers will be in range. I'm almost 69 and this works for me. I w/o push/leg & abs/ pull every three days and get lots of recovery.
