[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 14735, member: 696"] It's more of a concern if you have a predisposition for hair loss. My first guess was that you were probably using some form of gel or transdermal application of testosterone, then upon reading closer I see you're indeed administering Testim. It could be there's more DHT receptor sites within various sections of cutaneous tissue, not sure? However, "most" men will see a reduction of DHT conversion when switching to oil suspended therapies like cypionate, which are administered IM or even subcutaneously with a smaller insulin pin. I can vouch for that, as I saw DHT values drop in half when I made the switch way back when ... One other observation is your ferritin. It is way too low, and I suspect your iron serum level might be struggling as well? There could be a variety of reason for this (sometimes just donating blood too frequently will do it), but I think you need to take a closer look at it, and get your total iron serum, TIBC & UIBC labs. Thyroid productivity is dependent on these labs being in a good range. T3 just won't get to the cells as desired if this is tanked .. Needing Free T3, Free T4 & Reverse T3 to see that picture.
