Baseline>>>>>>>>>Progesterone, Total Estrogens, Testosterone

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Give 6,000 – 10,000 I.U. hCG IM or IV

1 hour post hCG>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Total Estrogens,Testosterone

2 hours post hCG>>>>>>>>>>>>>Total Estrogens,Testosterone



CRYPTORCHID

~ A single random sample assaying Testosterone has very little
> value due to wide fluctuations.

~ The recommended protocol to analyze testicular production of
> Testosterone involves a stimulation utilizing GnRH or hCG.

~ If not pending litigation, measuring Testosterone only on all three
> samples is sufficient.
