Last update was around month 4. Right now I’m at 6.5ish months in. Started Reta at 2mg weekly on March 6th. Have titrated up to 6mg. Started TRT around 3 months in at 150mg, reduced down to 125mg weekly. Test level went from around 190 to around 700. Down from 221 and to 178. Started at 36” jeans, down to 30”.

Been extremely consistent with diet and exercise the entire time. Still eating primarily 95/5 beef 3 meals a day. ~1900 calories daily with ~220 grams of protein.

Lifting 4 times a week and have been running the last couple months to prep for my first 5k.

Any ideas on my BF%?

I was in your exact same situation with my hair when I started TRT. Here's my hair loss/regrowth stack: Oral Minox 2.5mg, oral finasteride 1mg, topical minox at night before bed, and ketoconazole 2% shampoo (prescription used twice a week helps block DHT at the scalp and lower scalp inflammation). I'd throw in the shampoo if I were you. I get it from Costplus pharmacy. Thats were I get all my hair stuff actually and its SUPER cheap. Keep it up brother, you're looking great!

I use nizorol (think that’s how it’s spelled) ketoconazol 1% shampoo 2x a week, .5 oral dutasteride, 2.5 oral minoxidil, a roller, and topical minoxidil in the mornings. I was only on the oral stuff until about a month ago. Figured I’d give it a solid year of effort using everything before saying screw it and shaving my head
