Hi

 

i had a hair transplant done 7 months ago and still see allot of baby hairs and there is still some new growth that needs to come in i was wondering if i jump on a 2 month cycle of steroids testostorne enanthate will this prevent my hair transplant from reaching its full potential ?

 

Some one please answer this question

There is no definate answer either way to this. Testosterone can affect healing both ways. However at 7 months, its unlikely to have a negative. Please noe that Test will elevate you DHT levels and this can/will thin your native hair. If you are an experienced AAS user then you will probably know this. You may wish to consider using finasteride as this may prevent up to 70% of the elevated test being converted to DHT. Depending on the dose, this may reduce DHT levels to an acceptable or even normal rate in your body. Read up on ester weights and half lifes. There is lots of info out there so search and read up.

 

You will naturally make your own decision but arm youself with knowledge before taking the plunge my friend

 

I'm not going to cast my opinion on your decision, you are your own man.

I wouldn't go near steroids ever again as it will thin your hair for certain.
