    Hairloss

    Have been on HRT for almost three years. Stay between 125 and 150 (test cyp)a week divided into two equal injections (Sun AM & Wed PM). After the first 4 or 5 months and that normal lag came into the pic i upped the dose to probably 250 a week for another 1-2 months until more reading on this site made me realize i was overdoing a good thing. You guys that have been on HRT for a while know what i mean...you feel like hell until they confirm the problem, and when you start HRT you feel like superman for 3-6 mos after you start and then it levels out to a normal feel and you think you need more.. Anyway, that was 2 years ago. Now suddenly i realize i am losing hair everytime i touch my head. My wife noticed it big time after my last hair cut. Bottom line, all males on both sides of my family have/had full heads of hair until they passed on in their 80's. WTF? I know it is a side for cycling but i am not even close to the amounts i read about in cycles. Any ideas?

    In almost all the cases, it is a matter of chromosome X.
    Say thanks to your mother, lol.

    Yeah, it's just one of sides known to happen. As BJJ pointed out, there's also a genetic factor in place.

    Chromosome X is in good shape on my mothers side...Grandfather and his brothers all died with full heads of hair in their 80's. She had no brothers.

    Having used the Watson prescribed test for two years and then switching to a Balkan UGL...would that make a difference?

    Nope.

    Propecia may be something to consider

    Thanks for the input. Turns out the magnesium supplements i was taking (4x) daily to control arrhythmia knocked the magnesium/calcium ratio out of balance which causes hair loss. It seems, at least according to my Dr, that arrhythmia is common place in men but it is irritating to say the least. Guess i will just try more calcium. Any of you know anything about good supplements i would love to hear it.
