Hey all, havn't been around here in awhile! I have a question? I'm into the second month of a cyp cycle 500mg bi-wkly. And have noticed some thinning of the hair. It's not just in one spot on my head its the whole scalp. Thinking of getting some Proscar but I have some comcerns that it would lessen my gains from the test. But also want to keep my hair in the long term. Don't really care about on cycle thinning, I just hope it comes back when I'm off. Any experiance or comments please!!

What do you mean by 500 mg biweekly? 500 every 2 weeks? How are you doing your shots? How often and how much per dose? Anything else with it?

1000mg a week- 500mg twice weekly. Sunday and Thursday. -I don't have a bald spot or receding hairline, just feels thin and when wet I can easily see scalp. Not really worried about water retention or Gyno so I don't use antiestrogen.

That would be semi-weekly. Just like semi-annually is twice a year. I get paid bi-weekly, once every two weeks.
Are you sure it's coming out? do you find hair in your brush?

Youre right  semi-weekly. -No hair in tub or brush. I mostly notice the difference when hair is wet. Maby I'm being a little paranoid, because all my mothers bro's are either completly bald or receding hair. I'm 32 and never had a hint of hairloss. It's not bad right now but I don't want it to get any thinner! -This week I cut back to 800mg of cyp. Maby I'll start my taper early. This really sucks cause my goal weight is 200 and I'm only at 185  Have been thinking about proscar but not sure what dosage I'd need and I'm wondering if it will effect my gains on the test. Thanks |

If you ain't finding it in your brush or in the shower drain, you ain't losing it. If you are predisposed to baldness, you can't stop it anyway. I'm pretty thin on top but I have far more hair left at my age than any other man in my family.

proscar (finesteride) will not effect your cycle at all. it has affinity to androgen receptor sites, nor does it exhibit any adrogenic, antiandrogenic, estrogenic or antiestrogenic properties. it DOES minimize the production of DHT, which in turn reduces side effects (hair loss, oily skin, acne) that occur when using steroids. it specifically blocks type ll 5a reductase enzyme (which is responsible for around 2/3rd's of circulating DHT) so you will have a more pronounced effect when preventing hair loss and a lesser benefit dealing with acne/oily skin etc. (type l enzyme)
1mg a day is sufficient, it does take a few weeks to kick in and you must be VERY careful with women handling the drug, especially pregnant or women planning on getting pregnant. it can cause devastating development problems to unborn fetuses and i WILL absorb through the skin.

Thanks FYI male pattern baldness is a problem if it's found on the mothers side of the family, so as your uncles are Qballs I would follow QODs advice and get some finesteride etc, or just shave the mellon. At least bald is in style these days! |

Thanks bro, yes it is definately a lifestyle. The longer I am in it the more I love it! I will do this or something along these lines till the day I am dead.
Keep chugging along, and use the support team that we are for you, and you will do just fine. Keep focused, that is huge, stay focused on your goal no matter what. I liken it to being at the end of a long and windey road, and all the troubles and snags you have along the way are speedbumps on the road-they may slow you down but they wont stop you.
