I'm gonna start HRT for the first time next week, EEn injections, I've read common dose is 4-6mg per week, i was thinking abt starting 4mg but i just got some blood tests and my testosterone is higher than the reference value, would it be wise to start 5 or 6mg from the go? (blood results below)
Also, i've been taking 5mg minoxidil and 1mg finasteride in a single capsule, everyday at breakfast for hairloss but i want to quit it bc it increases body hair growth and monotherapy should suppress DHT, do i need to wait some time before i stop taking the capsules? or the day i do my first injection i can just stop the capsules.
I'd like to then keep minoxidil but in topical format, there are no contraindications with monotherapy right?
