HCG Monotherapy and Hair Loss

I have been taking a low dose HCG (200 IU 3x week) for about 3 weeks now. Testosterone and Estradiol levels have not changed during the period, but I have been experiencing noticeable hair loss for the past week. Was anyone with similar side effects to HCG able to stop hair loss while still continuing the treatment?

It’s pointless to ask because how someone else responds to hCG because response, side effects is highly variable and dictated by genes.

If you were taking an AI, that causes hair loss.
 
I am not taking anything else, including no AIs, especially since I haven´t had any changes in Testosterone or Estradiol. If anyone with similar side effects to HCG managed to stop or reduce hair loss while still keeping the treatment, that is a strategy I would definetly be willing to experiment with. Even though, like with any other drug, no guaranteed efficacy can be promised.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
