I don't have enough knowledge about the topic and open to hear from users who know what they're talking about. I'm just going to throw in something hypothetical. Let's say you are prone to male pattern baldness.(I'm one of those unlucky individuals.) 0.5 mg dutasteride works for %99 of male pattern baldness sufferers. It has been shown to reduce scalp dht (which matters drastically more than serum dht when it comes to hair loss) by %51. Let's say your scalp dht level is 100 mg. I'm making all these numbers up. When you take 0.5 mg dutasteride, it decreases to 49 mg, and it's enough for you to not suffer anymore unless you are an extremely unlucky, isolated case. Then you decided to do a testosterone only steroid cycle for your bulk to finally beat being skinny-fat/skinny/fat etc in a relatively short period of time. You inject 500 mg testosterone enanthate per week. An average male produces approx. 42 mg testosterone per week. A portion of that 500 mg testosterone is the amount of enanthate esther which is not an adrogen, so you inject around 440-450 mg testosterone which is basically 10 times higher than what your body used to produce prior to cycle. This probably means that your scalp dht is now 10 times higher than the off-cycle value. Let's say you wanted to go way safer and increased your dutasteride dose to 2.5 mg per day which has been shown to reduce scalp dht by %79. At the end of all those, you will end up having something like 210 mg scalp dht, which is surprisingly 2.1 times higher than your pre-dutasteride level. According to such a calculation, it's almost impossible to retain your hain on a test only cycle even if you skyrocket your dutasteride dose. How can people accomplish this? What's the mistake I'm doing while calculating all those?
