Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

It is clear that Dutasteride suppresses 5-alpha-reductase and dihydrotestosterone many times better than Finasteride, in addition, it suppresses type 1 and type 2.Also, what do you think about the use of topical estradiol 0.75 mg/1.5 mg per day? Or is it better not to take risks and use topical Minoxidil with Finasteride topically plus estradiol topically?

Yeah but the most important is scalp DHT not serum. I wouldn't use that estradiol dosage if it's your first time. I'll be using 0.03125mg/ml and see how my body reacts. Keep in mind estradiol is very strong and will feminize you. You can try topical finasteride every day alongside oral minoxidl every day and oral dutasteride 3 times per week.

At the moment I am using topical minoxidil foam 5% in the morning and evening since January and no effects, and Spironolactone cream 5% — I will not use it anymore (almost over) in the morning and evening. I plan to start using topical Estrogel either 0.75 mg (one click) 1 time a day, or 1.5 mg (2 clicks) in the morning and evening. I've read a lot of reviews... yeah..It's scary. It's probably worth trying with one click 0.75 mg per day. Also, I'm thinking about taking dutasteride 0.5 mg orally 1 time a day or every other day. There is also a local drug Maxogen-X (I plan to purchase), consisting of: Minoxidil 7.0% (70 mg *), Finasteride 0.15% (1.5 mg *), Azelaic acid 1.5% (15 mg *), ABN ComplexTM 0.8% (8.0 mg *), Retin-A (otherwise, tretinoin) 0.025% (0.25 mg *), Fluocinolone 0.01% (0.1 mg *), Caffeine: 0.001% (0.01 mg *)
(* amount in each milliliter (ML)), it is written on the official website of MinoxidilMax that the lotion is applied 1 time a day, since there is tretinoin in the composition and how they write if you are currently using oral finasteride, then there is no need to do this. I am 26 years old, I hope everything is not lost yet (((

I would not use that estrogen dosage to begin with but as you wish man. About minoxidil, if you add tretinoin it should work. I would use the regimen mentioned above and see if it works, but it is your choice at the end of the day.

for the people that had success with hrt and estrogen, how long did it take before you saw some improvement? i just started injectable E after the pills didn't seem to do much.

pretty solid...

I don't know how bald you are, but that combo should give you a good chance at regrowth.

¿Are you planning on gyno surgery? that regimen will feminize your body... although it's not all bad, my face looks prettier, I'm getting more attention from girls now (if they knew I'm growing boobs lool)

maybe a norwood 2 with diffuse thinning. not concerned with gyno, i doubt i will even feminize, testosterone didn't do anything for me at all, so i doubt estrogen will either. i have a pituitiary tumor so lived my life without hormones.

Almost 2 months 100mg Bicalutamide + 1mg Dutasteride + 10mg oral minoxidil. Im shedding like a motherfucker... im still thinking about E2..

Is 100mg Bica + 2mg E2 sufficient androgen blockade?

 

[SavingMyHair]

Hello wish to know if 0.25mg E2 is sufficient to stop hair loss without feminizing effect.

I am not surprised
You, like me, fate has placed between a choice that you did not want to face from the very beginning. Your sequence of actions repeats mine.

[keepcoolmybabies]

Because it may not be androgenic and I can’t fix Telogen Effluvium with medications. I’m on oral minoxidil which is objectively stronger than CPA and injections with the effectiveness.

I've had a number of bouts of Telogen Effluvium. Luckily it all grew back each time there was a shed, so might be what you're experiencing. minoxidil is also kinda notorious for synchronized shed cycles.

Sad but true, anyway for me
Feminization = bald head = suicide

Rimango qui, il mio tempo qui è già abbastanza, buona fortuna a tutti!
Buona fortuna su Google Brociencia.
E ai miei amici che sono rimasti, spero che ottengano i loro risultati.

Pace per tutti.

this is a real shame, one of the most important members of this discussion. as regards also the attention to side effects, with photographic documentation precise data on drug dosages and also related studies, as well as Metformin and its importance with antiandrogens. I'm trying to follow your path too you have been a great inspiration for me. I hope you are well and maybe one day you will come back to visit us with an update. hi @tato123

When my mother started having menopause, she also started losing hair. She was very angry because of this and I wanted to help her. I found a Premarin Cream, she used it and it increased her estrogen levels and she felt really better. Her hair loss also decreased and even began to grow. My mother is so very happy now and it's great

It's funny that a year ago I reasoned the same way.

 

[SavingMyHair]

Funny thing is that I got used to shaved head (1mm buzz) look while on the hairloss journey. And now Im just using meds as maintance to keep my hairline/face framing. And im 10x less worried with going bald so I can totally understand those “just shave it guys” when they say they feel relief when they get it done. Take your desired meds atleast for maintance with hope for better future treatments and live your life, no point in worrying 24/7.

Anyway,double jaw surgery time …to match the chad from the meme muahah.

Hey man I see you use bica. Is 12.5 mg three times a week and 0.5 mg of estradiol three times a week enough to stop hair loss?

 

[SavingMyHair]

You should take atleast 50mg bica everyday in my opinion on that small dose of e2. I just added E2 2mg ED 1.5months ago to test if it helps with regrowth but im very doubtful. Ikarus said he found little use with Bica AND e2 for regrowth just/mostly maintance, he had to resort to Oral Min. So your best bet is oral minoxidil and bica monotherapy in my opinion. Thats almost sideless treatment, gyno will be your only worry so save up some money.

Man im already using oral minoxidil 5 mg and finasteride every day. Really I have to use daily bica.... I'm scared of hepatotoxicity of bica...
