I have diffuse thinning/MPB and started finasteride at 17. I added oral minoxidil at 18. So far, my results have been really good I’m almost 19 now and still have a full head of hair with no significant loss.
I'm considering doing one cycle of 250 mg testosterone, but honestly the main thing stopping me is my hair. I know testosterone and DHT can potentially accelerate androgenetic alopecia, and even though I'm on finasteride, I'm not sure how much protection that actually gives me during a cycle.
I really don't want to sacrifice my hair for one cycle.
For people who already had MPB and were on finasteride/minoxidil before using testosterone:

For people who already had MPB and were on finasteride/minoxidil before using testosterone:
- Did you experience increased shedding or permanent hair loss?
- Did finasteride seem to protect you?
- If you could go back, would you still do the cycle?
- Is doing just one cycle even worth the potential risk?
