[QUOTE="Npreeze, post: 256078, member: 45566"] Hello! I’m a 37 y/o on TRT and also compete in bodybuilding. As such, and especially around contests, I do a bit more than just TRT including adding other compounds. Have always been very on top of bloodwork. I have been watching my PSA (I have an uncle and grandpa who had PCa) so I’ve been paranoid about it for years. Prior to starting TRT, my PSA was 1.2 8 weeks in 1.6 6 months 1.8 ( this was taken directly after a show during which I used 500mg test, and Anavar) Started taking 1mg finasteride to protect my hair. Went through some intense contest prep at the end of last year and got bloods when the season ended. PSA dropped to 1.3 (assume finasteride my have lowered it despite high dose test, winstrol and Anavar to prepare for shows). All bloodwork was clean to my surprise. Fast forward to my most recent blood test which came about 6 weeks after finishing up a growth cycle consisting of 600test and 700 EQ. PSA came in at 1.6 (still taking finasteride). I know these numbers aren’t “high” and the doubling rule for finasteride-adjusted PSA is probably not as applicable when you have other androgens involved (as it only works on testosterone). My sports doc was not concerned by these numbers but I’m extra paranoid due to family history. I’ve decided to stop competing and I’m now just taking 120mg of TRT with nothing else (dropped finasteride as well as of today for other reasons). I also had a DRE 6 months ago and the doctor said my prostate feels normal. Would you guys be concerned about this kind of PSA activity or am I being overly stressed for no reason? Thanks in advance for any insights. [/QUOTE]
