To be honest I dont think i will get good result with 5 mg. That is the reason i am thinking about 10 mg when i have seen results on it.
I just want to make sure that there are no major side effects on it?

Stunning. I have used from say 3mg currently to 25mg and you have to titrate sides and benefits. I had heavy sides at 25mg and at 12mg and seeming less so at 6.25mg every other day in the morning. This helps to reduce facial effects.

I would start at 1mg and then see how it goes. You have plenty of active follicles still. What about finasteride?

To be honest i started with 2.5 mg today. So was like thinking perhaps is to low and just go up to 5 mg or 10 mg.
So you think i should stay at 2.5 mg every day?
Yeah, have been using finasteride a while now. 1.25 every other day

2.5 mg is perfect. I have been illustrating that ingesting topical min works virtually the same as Loniten. 1 mg is such a tiny amount of minoxidil when equibrated to ml that it's hard to believe it would be therapeutic but 2.5mg is probably best for most guys. I doubt it speeds growth very much after that. Standard cis-female dosing is 25mg of spironolactone plus .25mg! of Loniten.

But what is the different between 2.5 mg and 5.0 mg? Iguess is more likely to get good results with 5.0 mg or?

We don' t know but the three main sides that increase with dose appear to be weight gain/water retention, Severe below the eye swelling that essentially barely goes away during the day and concealer barely works and increased peripheral hair growth anywhere. And I mean that. You don't know where beforehand and they differ for different people. Even MtF's have body hair effects and beard growth effects and even after laser beard removal, any whitish or grey hair will grow faster. My beard hair is too hard to remove regardless. It's not that thick but it is "mushy" and clogs a razor after one use. I also microneedle with topical twice weekly so I have gone down to 6.25mg every other day. I will continue to titrate upwards and downwards if I desist from other meds or increase them. I don't like the increase in beard growth. spironolactone helps but it is a nightmare of sides for XY's.

Weight gain is not a problem for me since I am already thin. Could you define what is meant by water retention?
I struggle with beard growth and i am already using minoxidil and dermaroller to get a beard so it is positive that the oral contributes to that. Hair everywhere is blæh but is not the worst sort of thing. Spironolactone is a no no for me since it is high risk of feminization.
But do you get sides from 6.25 mg every other day? If not, i am going to increase to 5 mg every other day or every day. Could you share btw your progress?

I warn everyone not to use minoxidil on beards ever. Minoxidil is a hormonal med and beard hair and scalp hair might be in stasis equilibrium to some extent. This means guys with no beard seldom go bald while guys with heavy beards often do. The combo we rarely see is full hair, full beard and no body hair save pubic but it seems to be rare. I have seen guys with only touches of beard lose hair in the temples and then not progress but everyone is different. Races without substantial beard growth never go bald or almost never. Guys on here don't want to even think about it but my belief is any cure will result in no beard growth for young people like puberty blockers just for hair. It's not an outrageous idea to use finasteride at 15 preventatively.Weight gain is not a problem for me since I am already thin. Could you define what is meant by water retention?

I use a few different things so it's hard to pinpoint but these three pics below are from 26 months back.The one with hair is maybe three to four months ago. I will probably post more pics today. It is really long and much curlier now. It's thrilling like when my kids were born or when I got married or laid by so many dear XX's--I love you all for teaching a boy how to be ahem, a man.

My protocol is under my avatar. I have gone up to 200mg of P4 but it's probably not relevant for most. I am trying to see if it increases breast growth since that's what most guys don't want but I am like eh, it's pretty interesting and they work just like on a real live girl.I stopped provera completely. Anyone know how to update My Regimen?

Now at least half of the loss down to NW7 was from a brutal shed so I was only just about at what most of you would not throw tomatoes at me in terms of coverage but the hair was crappy hair. I stress always that the goal is anagen and female-like hair, not just increase in counts. If you magnify the baseline pics you can see lots of hair that refuses to lie down, which I call garbage hair. It can point in the wrong direction, be of a different color and as you can see for me, heavy, heavy dermatitis. Here are baseline pics from June of 2019. I had a mini-recovery before this from Biestro on my scalp but when I lowered dosage it went back to the first pic. I think the second one is nice and I could have lived like that but I really was out to confirm Bridgeburn and to do it without AA's. spironolactone initiated the shed and then when I had learned about estradiol-only I stopped the spironolactone in May of 2020 and now AA-free or off AA's lol says they.

I will do it.
Started with 5 mg now. I guess I will have my hair buzzed down so I can see the progression first 4-5 month.

Seemingly, you will be less likely to shed at 5mg and you can always go up to ten mg. Drinking topical makes that easier so I jump around not frequently but often enough to try to titrate overall bodily effects.
