Regular Member ALittelTeal Posted January 23, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'm someone who experienced sides on oral fin and quickly stopped. They resolved, but I would still like to halt further hair loss and preserve my donor hair. What are the specific labs that I should get taken to get a sense of my baseline before starting down this path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member arthurSam Posted January 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) no one can help because DHT and Testo variation are too big along a day you will never get corrects values for comparing them Edited January 24, 2023 by arthurSam 1 Minoxidil : 5% topical 1ml/day Follicular androgen receptor inhibitor : {Fluridil + CosmeRNA} Exosome Mesotherapy 1mm (See here for explanations & results) : ASCE+ HRLV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BaldDude Posted January 24, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 24, 2023 Make sure you test at the same time for each test, because serum levels tend to change over the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member arthurSam Posted January 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 24, 2023 Even with that you will still have a lot of variation Minoxidil : 5% topical 1ml/day Follicular androgen receptor inhibitor : {Fluridil + CosmeRNA} Exosome Mesotherapy 1mm (See here for explanations & results) : ASCE+ HRLV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sunsurfhair Posted January 26, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 26, 2023 You would want a full hormonal profile, but to be perfectly honest, you may still experience mild, moderate or severe effects from Finasteride despite healthy hormone levels. I had very healthy levels of T prior to using oral Finasteride, and experienced bad effects from the medication. Regardless, it doesn’t hurt to check prior to starting. This is an extensive list: CBC / CMP Testosterone, Total and Free DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) Estradiol (Sensitive) Thyroid Panel (TSH, T4 Free, T3 Free, T3 Total) PSA Progesterone DHEA-S SHBG FSH / LH Prolactin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
