Thinking of trying finasteride (again).. blood work?

[brightside]

Yep, another one..

Although to be fair, I've been around for a while and actually purchased some of the stuff a while back..

But decided against it..

I've been exclusively using Fluridil for almost six months now, but it hasn't stopped further miniaturization in a diffuse pattern, and so far no real regrowth (and no shedding of miniaturized hairs).

I have some minoxidil but again that isn't going to address the core issues of male pattern baldness.

So guess I should have some blood work done. Chances are the GP won't really understand or care about my reasoning behind it, but would need to get them done. What levels should I get the blood tested for?

I would suggest:
Testosterone
Estrogen
DHT

Hopefully Finfighter or some others that have had bloodwork done will chime in. I never thought to get a baseline before I started finasteride, so I can't speak from much experience.
