Mike, on that first one, any idea what kind of protocol (amount/frequency) they used?

No sure on frequency with these studies...But my own studies with patient data and other collegues studies suggest complete leydig cell saturation with 250-500IU HCG 2-3x per week. Its not one size fits all. As barbaric of a triage as it is best way to stage effectivenes is to monitor testical size. Average testicle size 2.5cm-5cm. So monitor yourself and go for optimal fullness. Good sign that testes are rolling just fine.

How does one go about accurately measuring testicle size?

For convenience sake, if I were to go back to injecting HCG twice a week vs 3 times per week, do you recommend a certain day in relation to test injection like the day before?

Also, do you think there would be much concern in elevated E2 levels injecting 250iu 3x a week vs say 375-400iu or even 500iu twice a week?
