Like maybe read above or below some stuff or ignore it before advocating to remove a thread that has changed several people's lives for the better and it's miraculous still and not old hat as for you.
Tbqh everything useful about hrt and hair loss has kind of been said dozens of times over in this thread. I think the first 50 pages or so are probably still useful though for anyone new considering hrt

My hair is growing fine but it's super slow progress.
As for the thread, it's on repeat since over 500 pages and the only new input is on to display a total lack of civility.
It was good while it lasted.
Have you been through any noticeable sheds? Have you changed your regimen?

Yeah but this thread is still the only thing that I read now. The rest of the site, been there and done that. There's crucial information on here still. I read before I ever approached and every f*****g thing has worked perfectly, thanks be to Our Lady in Heaven....

I completely disagree for people who bother to actually read. I am doing some very different permutations of things. When I started out, I just copied every single thing that Bridge did and that saved me having to defend a lot of stuff but I knew instinctively that Bridgeburn had found the way, not only, but he filmed the entire time warp to prove it, Janey did similar things. We have ample proof that cueball is no longer a death sentence. Hecate bless us all.

Didn't experience any shed at all. Regimen has been reduced to CPA, E2 and Metformin. Dropping both minoxidil and needling didn't result in any noticeable difference, in xcept that I don't grow hair on my forehead anymore, which is good.
Oral minoxidil? What dosage were you taking?

I've gotten lazy with minoxidil application (put it on temples like once every other day atm), but am kinda paranoid to drop altogether

Topical, three pumps on each temple two to three times a day.

Why not just drop it for 3 months and if nothing happens, you can save yourself a lot of hassle and money.

Ha. You don't need it any longer but maybe on your eyelashes.
Anecdotally (given that people who grow beards with it then stop using it and still have a beard) it would seem like hairs aren't minoxidil dependent. But yeah, just paranoid still

I might eventually try that. Or at the very least keep extending the time between applications until phasing it out

I mean, I drank more minoxidil than anyone for 11 months and it did two things. It increased the growth rate of my body hair and it increased the amount of beard hair significantly. I have had several sessions of both electrolysis and laser removal so cast my vote for using female Rx amounts now, meaning no more than a drop a day. Lasts forever and I rub some on my brows and lashes.

Yeah I'm with fuchsilein. You can probably drop it all together, especially now that you're using it once every other day. The rest of your regimen is more than powerful enough to maintain all the gains.

I mean, KCMB has le ne plus ultra of XY adult hair and it's length is magnificent and she no longer looks dorky at all. My personal situation continues to resemble @bridgeburn more than KCMB but I mean, how greedy could I be anyway? All of my dreams are coming true of my entire life and at 57.

Oral takes care of the convenience factor, but yeah, then there's the potential heart issues, as well as body hair if you are concerned with that. Plus oral is much better for scalp health (particularly compared to liquid PG crap)
