I just started taking GH factor again last month and I had my hormones tested last week. Everthing was normal except my testosterone was on the higher end of the range - the normal range for women was 30 -76 and I was 78. In November, before I started taking the GH factor again, I had my hormones tested (the same ones I had tested last week) and my testosterone was 32. The only thing different I have done from November to last week is start taking GH factor. Also this month my cycle was late. So my question is will GH factor have any impact on a women's testosterone? I have lost bodyfat since I started taking it again so the higher testosterone is probably helping with that but do I need to be concerned about it being at the higher range and is it normal for women using GH factor to having higher testosterone? I don't want to stop taking it because I lose more bodyfat with it and I have more energy but if any of you think I should then I will stop. I mentioned this to my dr. but she wasn't able to tell me if this was what was causing it to be higher because she had never heard of the product.

Thanks

78 is just outside the normal range and can be attributed to more than just one thing. How old are you? Are you peri-menopausal?

I am 28 1/2. My estrogen is on the low to normal range (not too low that my cycles have stopped but right under the normal range). I am no longer on the pill but when I had my hormones tested last February while on the pill and I was taken GH factor, my testosterone was high then too. I am just confused on whether this is a good or bad thing because with the GH factor I lose more bodyfat and without it, I have trouble dropping fat. My doctor is concerned about it being high and I did have my insulin levels tested too and my insulin and blood sugar was actually very low. Thanks for responding.

Has your doctor requested a follow up test of T levels? Why not make one small change - drop the GH intil a retest. If that's the only thing you change and your levels come back inline then I would guess it is the GH. Just curious did you workout close to the time blood was drawn? This could lso be a factor. Maybe someone else could chime in on the effects of exercise and testosterone floating around in one's body.

Hey Lara,

Hope all is going well for you. Actually I was retested today. I did stop the GH factor from the 8th of January to today to see if my tests differ this time. This may not have been long enough but my doctor wanted to test me soon and if it's still high she wants me back on the pill which I am hating because it took me so long just to get my cycle back. I know that weight training can help to increase testosterone and yes the night before I tested I did do a weight training session (legs) but as for that day I had not worked out yet. but if it does appear to be the GH factor I don't know if I should drop it or not because I have seen excellent results with it including fat loss and excellent blood sugar control. With my testosterone higher I am holding more muscle and I have more energy.

I am learning the hard way that our hormones are something that need to be in a certain balance for a female bodies to work correctly amd I would guess that elevated T levels would mess with the cycle. I personally am trying to get my body back on track with regards to my cycle so have stopped most supplemnts. Makes losing bf tougher and gaining/holding muscle more difficult but I'd rather be healthy and functioning correctly than super low bf. Just my .02
