Currently in the process of getting this for my hair loss.

Was just wondering if anybody had any side effects from trying this therapy?

Will be taking one milligram topically on the area where I've lost hair, due to
androgen alopecia.

Was assigned a link to read before I got this. I was blown away of the hair regrowth
from using it.

Here are just a few of the side effects of estradiol reaching excessive levels in your body:

Erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, infertility, and other types of sexual dysfunction
Enlargement of, or development of, breasts
Persistent fatigue or lack of energy
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

This is only a short list of possible symptoms of estradiol – as you can see, it’s quite serious. As a man, your body's meant to have more testosterone than estradiol, just as the reverse is true for women. If a woman has too much testosterone, she begins to develop male characteristics, so it only makes sense that the opposite is true for men.

You getting estradiol or estriol? If estriol what product. I'm also interested it and have read lots of contradictory testimonys. I'd start super light and wait 30 days to increase.

You probably don't have to worry about much about topical application but keep in mind hormonal balance is critical so levels should be monitored. Estrogen dominance, should it swing that way, increases cancer risk.

I am definitely starting light.

But after reading some of these posts, I'm starting to think I should
back off.

I'm only doing .1% topical, which is equal to one milligram.

Have You done blood work see where your estrodiol is? Do you gain weight/fat fast? Do you cry during movies lol

I actually take androgens, because I occasionally have recreational sex (too much info, I know!).

My testosterone levels are normal for a man my age (I'm f*****g OLD AND OVER THE HILL!).

I don't want to scare or shock people, but things go down hill fast. Especially the plumbing below.

If your testosterone levels are normal, why do you need additional to have sex? Are you doing testosterone injections pellets, cream? Surely, you can't be that old, isn't there an age limit on these forums? (See, it's not too much info.) :D

Why don't you crush them up and make a topical lotion out of them. You can add them to Rogaine or the Promox you are using.

It's funny, I tried that with my solid Finasteride tablets. It didn't seem to do anything, although it
didn't hurt either.

I don't have enough courage to take oral estrogen, and to be honest, that scares me more than
topical. (And maybe I should be equally scared, who knows).

The topical amount is very small. It's also made by a known compounding pharmacy, and doctor
prescribed.

It's only .001, or .1%. So, if I take one gram, it turns out to be a milligram. That, and I use small needles
currently before I apply my Minoxidil solutions (very small, as in .05 ml long).

I have to say, I actually have new terminal hair from that alone. And I'm definitely not a young guy, by
any standards (exempt compared to "The Donald").

My right temple was actually much worse than my left (Both are Norwood three level, and neither side
is that good).

Estradiol way too strong (This is what wthever got via Alpicort F for his regrowth)

Estriol is unlikely to work though, and in theory, by competing with the stronger Estradiol for the same receptor, it could lower total estrogenic activity, causing even greater hair loss.

Yes I agree.
But It's actually worth a shot to try it.
To each their own, it can work for many and add a little something

Alright. I finally made up my mind! I AM TAKING THE MEDICATION, starting tomorrow!

Just got my hair buzzed to a #4 on top, and #3 on sides (from a #8 or above).

f*****g hair flying every where. LOL (did this Saturday). I'm definitely going to
start the medication tomorrow (or whenever it gets at my door!).

For two reasons, I want to show pictures

1. To see if there is actually any regrowth. Really looking at temples witht his. With
dermarolling, plus all the sh*t I put in my hair, I'm hoping for some terminal hairs.

2. So you guys can see how fast my hair grows (on top only, I don't use it on sides). This
is from Latanoprost and Minoxidil combined.

Good luck! Are you lightly derma rolling everyday before minoxidil, or 1.5.mm (and up) derma rolling with some light pressure once a week (no treatment that day), or both?
