TRT with HCG & Hair Loss

Has anyone on here experienced increased hair loss from HCG while on TRT? If so, will it likely grow back once the HCG is stopped. I’m figuring the hormonal change might be the reason. I’m getting some frontal thinning and it’s no bueno.
 
They way I have always understood it, (or at least what I tell myself) is that TRT wont make you lose hair, it will just speed up whatever hair loss you were destined to have anyway.
 
Stay away from finasteride, etc.

Only hair transplants are safe.
I'm reading that the transplant docs want you to take Finasteride as well. Otherwise the existing hair you have falls out and all that's left is the transplanted stuff.. or something like that.

Sure but for most men that will happen slowly and the solution is very simple, another transplant.

If you go to Turkey they're cheap too.

hCG caused very rapid hair loss in me. I've read mixed opinions about its effects on DHT. Some say it raises it, some say it lowers it.
 
I have been taking hcg off and on for 3 years, never had any issue. But my last 2 doses I’ve had nausea and dizziness. I’m not sure why, has anyone dealt with this before?

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.
