Hi everyone! Hope I got that spelled right. I use CJC/Ipamorelin. Started at 10mg, now doing 5mg in the morning and 5mg at night. After 3 months I switch to Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin. That Tesa stuff is potent! I can feel a change in under 2 weeks. For context, I'm 55, female, 5'7", and weigh around 130lbs with super low body fat. Never thought I could feel so good when I started the CJC/IPA. The Tesamorelin/IPA is on a 2 week break per my doctor after my last labs.

Just curious if anyone else is taking this shot and what your experience has been? Thanks!
 
I started CJC/Ipamorelin almost 2 years ago and the results were amazing in just a few weeks! My compounding pharmacist said I should switch between that and Tesamorelin. But things changed so I can't get my prescriptions sent to Wells Pharmacy for CJC/Ipamorelin. And South Lake Pharmacy for Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin - Wells doesn't do the Tesa. Where are you getting yours and what's the cost? If you don't mind me asking.
 
I began taking CJC with Ipamorelin about 3 weeks ago. The only thing I've noticed is some water weight. I'm already on TRT and was hoping to see some increased fat loss from the CJC, but nothing so far. I'm not overweight, but I'd like to get more defined. Do you inject daily Mon-Fri and then take the weekends off? Or do you inject it every day?
 
I mostly take the CJC/Ipamorelin every evening. When they had me switch to .5 AM and .5 PM, I went to .7 every night since it's most effective when you sleep and no carbs for 90 minutes before. I wake up between 1-3 AM, so that's when I inject. I get labs done every 3 months, including growth hormone levels. With CJC/IPA, my GH is usually 250-300. It goes higher with Tesamorelin. I usually take one night off with the Tesamorelin. Hoping you see results soon!
 
I take 300 units of the same thing. The outcomes for me are fairly similar to growth hormone. They say to take it between 6 and 8 PM for the best results. I also take it every other day.
 
Yes, 1 unit is 10mg. I work out every day, give or take a day, but I spend several hours doing cardio and walking up a steep hill to a cell tower. I am fairly lean. My BMI is below "excellent" for women. My legs and forearms were the first things to change and I was shocked at the difference. Everyone's different, but the amount of exercise you do is key.
 
The dosing is actually in micrograms (mcg), not milligrams. It's usually mixed at around 2000 mcg/ml, so 1 unit or 0.1 ml = 200 mcg. Something's not adding up.
 
My doctor offered me Sermorelin/GHRP-2 or Ipamorelin. Anyone have experience with either? Ipamorelin is a bit more expensive each month, so I wanna know if it's worth it. another forum
 
To @ScaleStory, you should get baseline IGF-1 levels first. Knowing that baseline will help you determine if you actually need it and lets you track your progress.
 
I saw some posts about Ipamorelin giving better sleep, recovery, mood and healthier skin. Maybe worth the extra cost?

I have degenerated discs, causing pain and numbness from pinched nerves. The doc thinks my discs *might* repair themselves with higher IGF-1, but no guarantees. I'm willing to try if it might help! What dosage is best for Ipamorelin? I tried .3mg before bed for 2 months and didn't notice anything.
 
Been on the Tesa/IPA mix for roughly 2 months now. Wanted to target belly fat specifically. Never had that problem until my 40s, then suddenly it all went there. The combination has helped reduce some of it, plus I've noticed appetite suppression. Thinking about taking a break from both for a few weeks and restarting to see how things compare.
 
Initially the injections made me pretty anxious, but comfort has come a long way since starting. Yesterday I watched the needle penetrate and it didn't really bother me at all. Test and IPA are in transit, so plenty of future pin sessions ahead. Nice that it doesn't phase me anymore.
 
UPDATE: dropped the other stuff and honestly the weight just started coming off. 10 pounds gone and literally nothing else changed. gonna push for another 10 to 15 and then add things back one at a time so i can actually see what's working.
