[QUOTE="Rand McClain DO, post: 102353, member: 90"] Typically, your T levels will spike about 2.5 days after your injection of T Cyp, BUT, this average is wide, in my experience, meaning for some it is earlier and some later by a day or more. So, your DHT levels will spike in accordance with your T spikes because DHT is made from T and is fairly quickly. Reducing the height/degree of the spike is a useful tool in reducing conversion - I find the higher the spike, the higher the percentage of conversion - but then you begin dealing with the inconvenience of more frequent dosing and compliance with same. You could use a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor like finasteride (start with this one first because of the "commitment" to a much shorter half-life, in case you experience unwanted side effects from its use) to reduce the conversion of T into DHT either as a sole treatment or in conjunction with more frequent injections of a smaller dose of T. I would take your finasteride certainly on the same day as your T injection, so that as little as possible is made from any T injected from the moment it is injected, and every day thereafter if you want to maximize DHT minimization or for at least an additional next 1-2 days after T injection to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of a lesser dose.
