Ok, I’m hearing everyone loud and clear. Even though I’ve been in a gym since I’m 13 (I’m now 45) and was a competitive college athlete, I’ve never used testosterone in my life up until 2 years ago. Doing the “anti-aging doc” thing was all brand new to me. He seemed very knowledgable in our...

My doc prescribes hCG along with Clomid for 3 months of the year when he takes me off the test cypionate. My typical regime for the past 2 years has been: 200mg of cypionate every week (broken up via 2 shots sqi). Then for 3 months, he will take me off the testosterone cypionate and prescribed...

Just had an epiphany today. Could Metformin cause hair loss? My doc put me on 500 mg 2xs/day since Feb -- told me it would help keep my telemeres in good health. Any thoughts?

DHT: reference level 30-85 Prolactin: ? Thyroid: TSH=1.91 T4=5.6 T3=3.5 Anti-thyroid Peroxidase Antibody <10 Iron Panel: did not have that done Cortisol: not done either How soon did I notice hair loss after starting TRT? My doc upped me to 120mg 2x/week...

HORMONE LEVELS VIA BLOODWORK (3/24/17): Estradiol (pg/mL): 32.3 SHBG (nmol/L): 26 Testosterone (ng/dL): 634 Free Testosterone (ng/dL) (calculated): 15.66 Dihydrotestosterone (MG/dL): 21 I cut my cypionate injections back to 80mg 2x/wk but still losing hair at an alarming rate. What could be...

Had my doc draw blood samples this past Friday and will be getting levels by April 7th.

My 1st year on TRT taking 160 mg/wk worked well. I believe that jumping it to 240 mg/wk kickstarted my hair loss. Will dialing back my cypionate injections to 160 mg/wk stop the shedding . . . or is it too late?t

How can I undo this crazy hair loss? Should I get off of everything? Do I start injecting less cypionate over the next few weeks until I can go off of it? None of this is worth going bald.

Can the estrogen suppressant be causing the hair loss?

Libido: I think about sex constantly Drive: every chance I get Function: it's been up and down (literally). Lately it's been more effort than usual to get and maintain an erection -- even when masturbating. It's scaring the shit out of me. As for genetics: I've taken after my mother's side --...

Is there an over/under number for DHT? If so, what is it? And, if my DHT level is too high, what measure(s) do I take to get them under control?

How do I obtain that?

Hi everyone, Freaking out and need some advice from the experts: I'm a 44 year old male who began TRT therapy about 18 months ago due to prolonged periods of fatigue, joint pain and inconsistent erections. I'm a very fit adult who has been in a gym since the age of 13, a former D-1 football...
