Questions for high converters
Hey y'all
I'm curious what other high DHT converters offer for advice for cycle/ancillaries, most information on everything is for people worried about estrogen control and honestly that seems so much easier than fighting DHT
Tried a whole bunch of protocols for my test to reduce my joint pain and acne and finally feel like I'm getting somewhere switching from E3D to E5D. Switched back to intramuscular from subcutaneous as well and am noticing some clearing up in the temples/forehead/ cheeks, still having some painful cystic stuff pop up on the edge of my jaw in my beard/under my ears(on the jaw bone)/ and still heavy on the lats, traps, spine
Also have a fairly volatile lipid panel so I eat super clean and am at 60 to 70 ish grams of fiber a day now which doesn't seem to help, fat I keep at about 74g with sat capped at 28g (I never get close to cap because I get most of my fat from eggs typically and that's it)
Using this information I have been looking into finasteride, not really for my hair I mean tbh I've given up there lmao but to bring down some of those androgens
I respond extremely highly to pretty much all compounds so I was thinking about starting at 1mg a day through my gp
Any supplements/ "supplements" you guys recommend? Tried saw of p, tried nizoral, p5p, tanning, etc all to no avail

Controlling my estrogen helps clear up my acne. Also finding the right esters and the right pinnning schedule can sometimes be the most important thing, at least for me. Like I cannot use sustanon at all, and prop I’ll get a little acne(like really minor) if I’m not doising it everyday. Also there’s an ointment that’s amaIng, it’s benzoyl peroxide but you want to get the strong one, it’s 10%. Usually it’s a tiny tube at that strength. There’s also really low strength ones and washes but you want the 10% cream and you put a little dot of it on each pimple/blemish and go to bed and viola!! There gone the next day but it dries your skin really badly. I think it just dries the pimple off or dehydrated it away but it works well
The more frequent I dose the more acne I get sadly and that's with cyp
Benzol seems to be working FINALLY after weeks of use however it doesnt seem to be putting a dent in my back, doesn't help that I can't even scratch my own back
Really? That’s so weird because usually the more frequent the better AND for me the benzoyl stops working after like three weeks for me lmao one of us is built backwards lol
anvilThe latest natural deal is Pygeum as a DHT blocker.
Otherwise the medical route is only 5α-Reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) Dutasteride, Finasteride.
What gear are you taking?
Ill look into that Pygeum, the problem I had with palmetto is after a couple weeks it felt like it actually started impacting my e2 my wrist was a nightmare
I'm just on my TRT test cyp, 100mg E5D
When I started TRT I was on 175mg IM E7D and frankly didn't notice much of anything for months, got tired of running 27g switched to subcutaneous at 160 cause the measurement was easier I felt Incredible libido through the roof, everyday id wake up and look different it was wild but as time went on acne started to show up and get worse and worse
My gp said try taking a quarter tab of adex once a week, well I did that for like 3 weeks and it crashed me into the dirt lmao, I was switching shirts 3 to 4 times a day, id be dripping literal pools of sweat after 5 curls
Dropped adex, decided to drop my dosage to 125 BOOM acne started fading immediately from that point on and I feel even better than 160 libido wise..
Time goes on go up to 140 on my cycle because that's like the point where I can hold my test before it gets really bad
Post cycle drop back down to 125 slowly but months after the acne only continued to get worse and worse
Lowered to 100 a week and it got worse and I felt worse
Weeks go by and I'm like f it I need estrogen and I spread my injection days back out with higher dosage and I feel ok I guess but the acne man, no way would I take my shirt off at the lake rn
You sweat bad with your estrogen crashed? Hmm I'm opposite I sweat heavy heavy when estrogen is higher. I too got some bad acne. Here's what's worked for me. Shower twice daily preferably three times. Dial bar soap - loofah that shit in. Selsun blue and benzoyl peroxide 10%. Acne = gone unless I'm taking 50+mgs of anadrol
See that's the thing that's cool and sucks about PEDs, the variability in response is so extreme
If I take deca I literally just stop sweating almost entirely but I look like a monster and the pumps can be unbearable
On winstrol my libido is at a bare minimum, the look and feeling is incredible, but I soak shirts so bad my red shirts turn black when I lift
Right now I'm using an extreme benzol foaming wash with a coarse brush and seems to do okish, my spine is just all purple and red welts all different sizes from a pea to a quarter, my skin is so slow to heal right now
Hell if I hit a heavy lift I will literally get a new stretch mark or mine will grow
How often do you wash your bed sheets, and which laundry detergent do you use? If you use Tide, this can definitely be your problem.
anvilI got ya, deca can help with the joint issue. Low dose like 100-150 per week. Might raise estro and prolactin but minimal at that dosage. Adex definitely wouldn't be the answer here. It takes a while for things like acne to get better or worse. Stick with what dosage is giving you the least adverse reactions.
I'm gonna keep pinning delt, the thing that sits in my mind is if it will be as underwhelming as when I used to pin IM which would be a bummer
I do have a cycle coming up, test npp and tbol
Staying in that more anabolic side hoping I might be able to add a little mass as I cut slowly for summer
DHB on the way as well for when I run deca again because as I ran it up the water retention got stupid, thought process is it'll be like a small dosage ai keeping water and e2 in check and hopefully BP
However I don't know how my body will react to a trifecta of DHT, DHN, and DHB but it's a low low dose
