Taking the plunge, question about blood work and hormones

[Cr779]

What makes you so sure your T levels will take a hit. Maybe your testosterone will not be converted to DHT as much and end up raising your levels. As far as estradiol you could take an estrogen blocker if you're worried about it going up but I don't know enough about them to recommend it.

Sorry I should have been more specific, it's not that I'm sure my T levels will take a hit it's more that with already not the most normal level of hormones I don't know if it's wise to be taking hormone altering drugs. Like in case it did do something to my T levels also the increase in my E levels might not be nice. Or who knows maybe the free floating T will just raise my T and my E levels will still be fine it's hard to tell, I just wish things were more normal. Still trying to make up my mind about Propecia but I've been trying to do that since December. I'm thinking come summer I'm going to shave my head, tell my friends I'm balding and ask how I look with no hair. If its a positive reaction or at least one i can live with I may say no to Propecia but keep my eye out for new treatments. If I look terrible I'll take my chances with it.

Also I've heard some horror stories where guys who get sides say that when they got tested their T levels were way lower than when they started. Not scientific fact, but gives you something to consider before you hop on the drug. Especially if you're like me with already low T levels.
