The idea of HCG is to keep testicles working (primary) plus stay in its original size for cosmetic reason (secondary).
Probably the best is to use 100IU/day every day.
I am using 250IU every other day and already I see daily variations in scrotum size and I think testicles feel. I will have to get enough will power to get the shots daily.
The Idea of Testosterone supplementation is to get Bioavailable Testosterone into right range. I am not aware that someone posted any numbers on this. I have a number
BAT=5.50(nmol/L)
from this publication (Table 2). So far nobody protested or come with better number.
------http://www.atypon-link.com/WDG/doi/pdf/10.1515/JLM.2006.050
From that follow other numbers.
FreeT=199 (Table 4) same publication.
Dr Shippen uses FreeT=(100-250)
On a first pass people shoot for TotalT~750
Depending on their SHBG and Albumin status that vary.
-----------
Often, before starting T supplementation it is good idea to check
Adrenals (Cortisol, DHEAs)
Thyroid (FreeT3) mostly
also prolactin
--------------
Estrogen management is a constant worry.
There are no good guidance posted on other estrogens, except that E2 should be (10-30)
Other than E2 we are supposed to worry about good/bad estrogens ratio.
For this two factors we use first DIM+I3C+TMG and if that does not bring E2 down enough we use small amount of Arimidex.
I am assuming that Myomin works in this area.
Wonder if you have anything else to say about Myomin, if not now possibly after next visit with your Dr.
