Propecia Dosing?

[Cupid]

Here's some info from past BW. Note that I'm on TRT and normally maintain a test level around 1400-1500:

DHT normal range 30-85

1/12 DHT 75
3/12 DHT 81
5/13 DHT 84

PSA normally .07 to .08 but on following BW it went up to 1.2. Granted not much but it concerned me. Two weeks later it was 2.0. I then got a prostate MRI (non-invasive) and all is well. Prostate was enlarged (40cc) The spike was arguably self-imposed due to a longer test only run.

Implemented Finasteride at 5 mg per day:

7/13 DHT 22
8/15 DHT 15
10/13 DHT 12

Currently off the Fina and will retest soon for DHT and PSA prior to upping my test level in the future. Uro appt today actually.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if I got this right:

All these numbers were when you were only on TRT dosages, not on cycle.
The first 3 numbers were without fina, the second 3 were with fina.
You don't have any numbers for a time were you were both on cycle and on fina simultaneously.

All correct?

Correct. Since implementing Fina I've not run elevated test. But will be doing so in the near future and will continue to run frequent BW to see how it goes.

Here's a study you'll find interesting:

Wow, that's an awesome study. Thx for linking that.
I would love to see what the results are once you have elevated Test.

Kel, perhaps you can explain something to me.
People say that taking fina while using Nandrolone will actually have a worse effect, specifically in regards to hair loss.
I've read some explanations but it still doesn't really make sense.
What do you think about this?

This is a great thread; There's the ugly head of science in these posts.
KELKEL: I now understand why people say' "what's the BW?"
_Always though it was like "...yada, yada, and he died. Or, "The other day I died-" ..."So, what's the BW?"
But, this is about learning.

What you read was bro science.

Its fine to use nandrolone while on finasteride.

About dosage it is correct that 5alpha reductase drugs, like finasteride and dutasteride, bind with reductase enzyme lowering DHT production. It doesnt destroy the DHT per se. The deduction that the more test you need more finasteride while incorrect, as you only have a certain amount ot reductase enzymes, it ends up working up to a point.

There are studies for male baldness saying that 1 or 2 mg have more or less same effect on dht levels.
Which is quite enough for the hair loss problem.

DHT is the most important hormone for men, crashing it, like I read above with dutasteride for hair sake is completely stupid IMHO.

For hair it is much better to lower dht to about 300-400 pg/ml, and to use topical cetoconozol shampoo. You can also stack minoxidil for added protection.
