Bloodwork question about hCG. Baseline, three weeks in, and the numbers moved in a direction I did not expect.

There is a serious question about whether the studied form matches what is sold, and nobody in a thread can answer it.

Sample size, blinding, and who paid for it. Those three questions kill most of the confidence in most of these threads.

Curious whether the popular dose has any basis or is just the convenient one.

Test one thing at a time. It feels slower and it is the only way to learn anything.

What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?

Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?

Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all?

How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?

Baseline first.

Most of the popular protocol is borrowed from a clinical population and applied to healthy people without comment. How long have you been on hCG?
