Yesterday, this JB that I am fucking noticed that I am norwooding and started joking around yesterday, she said I am grandpa or something in Russian. I told her we can do roleplay: incestmaxx grandpa and granddaughter, then I gagged my cock down her throat.
But anyway back to more serious things.
Since my Finasteride anyway arrived few days ago, I've decided to initiate phase to of my hair loss protocol.
I've decided to take action and stop the norwood reaper from capitalizing on my hair.
1 month ago I've started microneedling with dermapen + minoxidil 2 times a day.
Yesterday I've started 0.25-0.5mg (it's hard to measure because I have 5mg pills and they are pretty small) of Finasteride every day.
So far so good, had sex few times successfully since yesterday.
I know that there are not very many people that report their blood work levels before and after starting Finasteride, or any hair protocol in general that might influence your hormones.
These are my blood work results prior to starting anything related to hair restoration:
It's good to have a baseline of your main hormones, so if anything goes wrong, I can easily understand which hormone went out of place and try to fix that, instead of blindly trying to guess hat is wrong.
I will give it 3-4 more days and then I will redo the blood work, I will not do all the tests again, only the ones that are relevant to this situation:
Both testosterone and DHT have androgenic effect in the body, but DHT is few times more androgenic than Testosterone.
But I think if you have pretty high testosterone before starting Finasteride and + the Testosterone boost that you get from Finasteride, that should be enough to maintain all the functions in the body (libido, facial and body hair growth etc) that are dependent on androgens.
Now this extra boost of testosterone is a double edged sword, since if your hair follicles have a high affinity of binding to testosterone, it can actually have the same effect as the DHT had before on your hair.
Anyway, in the end I will try it and see what happens, but I would be glad to hear and other opinions of people that tried Finasteride/Dutasteride.

- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) - 5.16 µIU/mL (0.27 - 4.2)
- Human growth hormone (HGH) - 0.584 ng/mL (up to 3.0)
- Free Thyroxine (T4 free) - 1.55 ng/dL (0.93 - 1.7)

- Prolactin - 14 ng/mL (4.04 - 15.2)
- Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) - 42.6 nmol/L (18.3 - 54.1)
- Total Testosterone (T total, serum) - 27.7 nmol/L (8.64 - 29.0)
- Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) - 3.25 mIU/mL (1.5-12.4)

- Albumin - 49.8 g/L (35.0 - 52.0)

- DHT (this is the main hormone that should get nuked by Finasteride)
- Total Testosterone (this might get higher, since there will be less DHT converted from Testosteron)
- Free Testosterone (this might get higher, since there will be less DHT converted from Testosteron)
- Estradiol (E2) (might be higher since there will be more Testosterone)
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH) (mightbe lower sinxe there will be more Testosterone and Estrogen)
- Prolactin (because I've taken also Cabergoline since it was kind of elevated on the above results)
