Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

Antydhtor has a very good regrowth on high dose androcur, then he added E2 and his regrowth was insane

True, I was speaking primarily of mono therapy. But even in cases like ADHTor I suspect E2 is what really made the difference in combination with OM

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

Yeah even I wanna fuk you and im a dude.

I talked to an antydhtor on a Polish forum 2 years ago. As I rememer he was using 150mg or even 300mg of androcur, 0.5mg of dutasteride and 5mg of finasteride, and 15% of topical minoxidil. He told me that in his case androcur was the only drug that helped, E2 only improve his regrowth. He had previously used dutasteride, finasteride, minoxidil with no effect.

This proves that everyone reacts differently... however CPA for me did nothing.

I told him that im on finasteride and he is pfs believer as nw2 in 60s lol. So I didnt wanna bring anything else to the discussion.
I was on finasteride 4 months, then dutasteride + finasteride for 7 months and I still had sh*t hair, then cypro/spironolactone and e2 and still struggled it only got worse (itching was crazy even on spironolactone+dutasteride+e2) cypro made huge difference but bica was game changer as it achived no itching without e2 use (meaning no feminization)
This was before starting bica:View attachment 177066
And everytime I reduce bica dose I get this open wounds opening on thinning parts like this:

and they dont go away for weeks sometimes. They appear when itching gets intense. I wash my hair 2x a day sometimes so its not that also.

Weird af

Ok, let me do the math. An all male forum, hormone altering drugs, chest and face photos, young thick NW1s, rejection by women, depression,
horny, spending hours in this forum and budding bromances could have some unexpected side effects on some guys here. @losingbattle88 is just having a "moment".

@DoctorHouse

Responded above.

 

[MylovelyHair]

I tried everything... finasteride/dutasteride/minoxidil topical oral/RU/Alpicort/CPA/E2 and still thinning. I will give Bicalutamide a chance however I dont think it will work in my case...

Now i dropped E2 and reduced CPA from 12.5mg to 6.25mg. Im using now both 50mg bica + 6.25mg CPA

i was thinking the exact same thing! How do you split the 50 mg cpa to 6,25??Do you have any liver or blood work after cpa use?

Nothing wrong being attracted to dudes.

I split it with small knife. I dont have any blood test.

Wonder if that might be pityrosporum folliculitis that bica maybe helps regulate sebum production that may have been exacerbating it

When your mom has this much temple and frontal loss you dont really believe in “E2 magic”. Just a reminder that: androgen supression (good AA) >>>> any e2 dose.
She obviously has normal e2 levels, since she is not in menopause.

is spironolactone a good AA?

 

[Ests13]

If you can handle the sides (diuretic sides), yes for cis male its just enough. But for me it was not enough. We have many users here that had great recoveries just on dutasteride and spironolactone, actually some of the greatest recoveries here are just on that combo. Like @AmericanHairlines90

I’ve been on both dutasteride and spironolactone 100 for more than a year now, recently added E2 4mg which made me reach a Norwood 0.5(?), but I had covid in January and I’m experiencing such an extreme hair shedding; wondering whether it’s due to my pills losing efficacy (which I don’t think ‘cause my skin is still dry af plus my gyno has gotten worse (planning to get surgery).

 

[Ests13]

You can always up your spironolactone dose up to 200mg but its not recommended to go over that, if that doesnt work than its time to change to cypro or bica then lower the e2 dose since e2 only helped in further androgen supression IMO, since spironolactone on that dose for normal male hormone range is small dose.

I think I’m gonna wait until April, just to understand where this shedding is coming from, I’m more prone to think it is due to covid, but who knows; if nothing gets better around april, I might start considering bica. Where can I get it from? Prescription is required in Italy + it’s hella expensive

You will have to buy it with bitcoin on random online grey market pharmacies unfortunately.

man, it's one of the pros of living in Mexico.... I can get it at the drugstore without any prescription.

And one more RU 2month transformation that i found randomly on tressless, he said he was 2 years on finasteride min prior (reddit history confirmes that) and ru made more difference in only 2 months than finasteride and min in 2 years. View attachment 177053

Reddit guy is a min responder check his post history

he added min 6 months before posting this, which is when peak min results will come thru i added ru to my regimen and also was looking for hopeful posts on reddit but i dont think this guy's regrowth is a 100% ru

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

@jazz1 what about topical progesterone

 

[Staticwavves]

Currently taking .5mg dutasteride and 10mg oral minoxidil daily. Trying to decide what to add to my regimen with going the hormonal route. It seems like Bica would be my next addition to minimize the chances of sides. However I have very high T levels in the 1200+ as well as a pituitary tumor prolactinoma and taking cabergoline for that. It seems like playing with E has too many unintended consequences however my super high T levels are beating up my face. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I’ve maintained and held ground at a Norwood 1 to 2 but looking to achieve max results and get back to Norwood 0.
