I was briefly on 2/3 of the drugs in this regimen while freezing eggs, and I gotta say: HGH is a hell of a drug. Felt great, minor cuts and scrapes healed faster, had no noticeable side effects

Wow. I imagine long term use is different, but maybe not?

Don't know if it's something you'd want to cycle rather than take continuously, but I'd take it again in a heartbeat! Major downside: something like a 10-12 day supply cost me $800 (in the US). Justifiable for improving results for a costly investment like IVF, but otherwise...

For whatever it’s worth, HGH has well-known long-term effects in the sports doping/bodybuilding worlds. You...don’t really want those.

I have to plead some degree of ignorance here, but AFAICT the population willing to dope under the table tends to be making a long series of questionable life choices, and competitive bodybuilding/lifting carries serious risks on its own

Oh absolutely. Part of why it goes on I think is that the hardcores can always tell themselves a story about how if the other guy had just done more X or less Y, etc. they’d have been good. I mostly meant the known visible effects through. How do you feel about Giant Foreheads?

Admittedly, I don't know much about it (or most side effects, both claimed anecdotally and noted in the literature). Brief googling when I was taking it suggested that it was pretty understudied in healthy, typical populations

I don't want to write off anecdotal accounts, but when n=1, there are other atypical factors, and the source, dose, and measurable outcomes are difficult to confirm, it's not reasonable to jump to conclusions about risks. This is why we do clinical trials

It doesn’t really comment on Bonds much other than his denials. Just talks roughly about general effects.

AFAICT, gigantism & excessive growth hormone due to pituitary malfunction are pretty solidly linked — this is the strongest claim in the linked article — but this obviously doesn't preclude further investigation; there are many potentially-harmful dose-dependant therapeutics
