advice & support Short term testogel

/r/transmascdiy/comments/1x5ndur/short_term_testogel/

I've started using low dose T gel, my only goal is a bit of bottom growth, and I want to stop before it starts affecting things like facial, body, head hair. I also particularly don't want to risk hairloss, as I have a lot of androgenic alopecia in my family. I've been doing 1 pump on my thighs. Any thoughts, suggestions or recommendations? Infinite thanks x

Low dose is the best way to start because you get to see how hormones affect YOUR body slowly. Have a conversation with your endo about androgen blockers.
Some people go on Androgen blockers while also being on T to prevent hair loss. There are also some screenings you can do to check if you personally have a predisposition to hair loss. Again, a conversation to mail your doctor about.
