I would ask for the bone age test. I had one when I fell ill. It is an

important test because it provides a sort of historical record.

This all started because his testicles had atrophied to almost being

Kind of odd because he was always " normal " in the past. Something

made them shrink...

He has not had a bone scan or xray so I don't know his bone age. His

endo may decide to wait until he is 13 to start treatment because he

responded to the hCG? I don't know if it was a high dose or low one.

We are waiting to talk to the doctor to possibly discuss an MRI of

his pituitary.
