Hair loss on low dose T prop

Side Effects

I’ve been on low dose T prop for about a month now, and I’m losing so much hair. There are no issues with ferritin/thyroids as these have been addressed.

Background : I had very low T (undetectable) and low energy. I lost a lot of hair during peri but grew it all back with iron/minoxidil. I cannot take spiro/pumpkin seed oil - these make me really ill.

Dose : started with 2mg EOD for one week - stopped because of hair loss which ceased shedding but I was so tired and exhausted that I resumed with 1mg a day, so I’m currently on 7mg/week which is not a high dose.

I don’t want to stop. This is the first time I’ve felt good in I don’t know how long, but I am going to go bald if I don’t do something to address the shedding. I’m already on 1.25mg oral minox.

Any tips and advice? Thank you!
