I am not shedding just thinning. Telogen Effluvium is know to cause big shed. Also I know is an upregulation because my androstenedione was higher on december when my DHT was under 5 ng/dl and magically my androstenedione on march and june was lower while DHT increases. If you dig a bit you will see that happens when one hormone converts into other. You can see 5ari increases testosterone because there is less DHT so body T increases because it does not get reduced to DHT, same happened with my reduction of androstenedione, I have less simply because it converts more to DHT, is not magic science is easy to understand
