[QUOTE="alantris, post: 238421, member: 44521"] Hi there, I apologize if my post is not in line with the typical theme of this forum. I'm posting here because I feel that the members of this forum are more well-informed regarding hormone levels than other forums and I'm looking for input. As the title states, I'm gonna be starting Finasteride this week as I have been experiencing hair loss. I have been diffuse thinning for nearly a year and finally getting on Fin. I'm 37. I recently got labs done through Discountedlabs.com for the first time from the US. The entire process was very smooth and Discounted Labs support was very helpful and prompt in answering my queries. Below are my results. Is there anything that jumps out or is there anything I should keep in mind/watch out for before I start Fin? I would be starting on topical finasteride rather than oral at 0.05% concentration.
