TRT/One Testicle/ Cycling/HairLoss/HighDHT
Good Day fellas,
I've been reading a lot through this forum for months. Decided its time to join in! i'd like some feedback from you experts on my unique condition and how to continue this wisely.
I'm a 22 year old male, who was born with an undescended testicle. I had a surgery as a baby, guessing the doctor removed it rather than descended it. (fck third world countries ha)
Started puberty early around age 11. I underwent some changes but partly lacked others:
Height grew taller than both of my parents (tallest out of both my families), grew more body hair than anybody I know (Literally covered from feet to face in body hair. all over.), penis grew, always had decent amount of energy, high libido.
Thus during my early teens I never suspected I had low testosterone. I was fairly sexually active (Daily, never went more than 2 days until my 20s).
Around age 19 I realized it was extremely hard for me to gain muscle in comparison to my friends. I also had a relatively higher pitched voice than them, and accumulated a lot more fat even though I ate healthier and exercised more than them.
I decided to get my testosterone levels checked, did around 6 continuous blood works. The highest one came out to be around 400 n/g (300-900) the lowest 299 n/g and others were in between.
It was evident that i had gone through puberty with low testosterone levels, and the puberty changes i had seen were due to high dht. To this day i'm still not sure whether the high dht was caused as a way of my body compensating my low testosterone, or perhaps it was my high sexual activities that pushed my body to create more of the 5-ar enzyme and convert more testosterone to dht. The odd thing is that I remember losing my morning wood after some years of daily masturbation, not sure if that could've imbalanced my androgen/estrogen ratio as well. I believe high estrogen will force a body to create more DHT and its clear had above normal estrogen throughout puberty as well. (Low testosterone, high dht, high estrogen). Any thoughts?
Any who, I was referred to an endocrinologist who decided to put me on trt. A year ago, after starting trt i decided to do a testosterone e only cycle for 14 weeks at 500 mg in hopes of developing the other masculine traits. My voice got deeper, shoulders broaden, back got wider, lost a lot of fat but unfortunately i lost a lot of hair. I didn't think i had the mpb gene, and was afraid that by taking finasteride id lower my only defense(high dht) against feminism(gyno etc) and further more lose my precious penis to Erectile dysfunction. After the cycle i did pct (clomid and nolva for a month) then jumped back on trt dose.
A year has passed, Now, i'd like to trim more fat in hopes of seeing my abs for the first time ha and perhaps gain more muscle.
I was thinking of doing an anavar cycle, along with clen/t3. I'll continue my trt dose of 100 mg a week. (i'm not sure if i should up it to 200 mg and perhaps start taking propecia. (since anavar will further suppress my test) I have terrible luck, but im thinking that all the body hair that i have (literally a wolf) is a sign of a lot of 5-ar enzyme activity. Ive seen many people have horrible permanent side effects while taking proscar, im thinking those few unlucky ones perhaps had low enzyme activity to begin with. Any thoughts on this? Think i'll have serious permanent effects if i take it? or that perhaps ill be fortunate enough to still have low- normal dht levels and perhaps reduce some body hair and improve scalp hair? that'd be sweet.
Trt has been slowly destroying whatever hair i have left and im honestly dreading the idea of being completely bald by age 23/24. Ive started taking minoxil and nizoral.
What would even be a safe dose to run test using 1mg of propecia to avoid hair loss? I've seen some people reporting hair loss at 350mg. I'd also use some Anastrole (.5 eod) to control estrogen.
Im thinking the anavar/clen/t3 cycle would go something like this. I could also get my hands on some hgh to run at 4ui for 5 months (5 Days on, 2 off protocol) Would that be beneficial? Never done hgh before.
Clen: Day 1: 20mg, Day 2: 40 mg (Up dose by 20mg ED until getting the shakes) Not going past 100mg. Tapering down Day 13: 80 mg, Day 14: 60 mg. Taking 2 weeks off. Then repeating. (Doing 6 weeks on, 6 off)
T3: Day 1-3: 25mg, Day 4-week 6: 50 mg (Not going past 50mg as Ive heard t3 can be quite catabolic.) Also don't want to extend the t3 longer in fear of messing my thyroid up.
I'll also be receiving a supply of 3750 mg of Anavar soon.
I was thinking of doing 75 mg ED for 7 weeks.
I know anavar isn't too bad on the hair, but at this dose will it still be safe? or should i lower it?
Current stats:
6 ft
205 Lbs
15% body fat
Any criticism to the planned cycle, theories to my condition, the trt and cycling, and further feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks guys! Glad to have finally posted all this ha. cheers
