I'm 24 and Im underweight with a BMI of 17.5 so my stomach is flat. About my blood relatives it depends. My grandmother from mother side died at 72 from heart dissease while my grandfather is still alive and he is 93. My grandfather from father side died at 73 from cancer while my grandmother from father side is still alive and she is 81.
So it sounds like the only premature aging/stem cell death, is happening on the scalp. Question is what does it mean and what is the remedy? This beats me but all the best in 2024!

And you never know:

And you never know:

Yeah rest of the body is not showing premature aging, just some minor expresion lines on the corner of mouth but nothin alarming. I will need to find out what is happening. I might be getting a scalp biopsy this year.

I will probably lower my dosage to 5 mg (I'm on 5.5 mg Een injection weekly). I might aim for 250 pg/ml which is the minimum for T suppression. When my hair was improving my trough levels were at 278 pg/ml despite of bit higher DHT than now, so maybe 300+ pg/ml e2 is not that good at least for my hair, who knows.
Has HRT helped you before? Why did she stop doing this, what preceded it?

In the first year of HRT I used high doses of E, and now I can go 3 weeks without injections, but it does not harm my hair.

I'm going to order RU, testosterone injections and try to get off HRT. RU is giving promising results to people on this forum.

It will really suck if RU will not help, and when I go back on estradiol, it stops working.

I've been on HRT for 1 year and 7 months. The first 7 months I was on sublingual pills, CPA and dutas and my hair was very bad.
Then I switched to bica + Injections + keep the dutas an my hair started to improve slowly. My peak of hair on this regimen was from april to june. Then I had some major stressor for 5 months + Covid in june + I increased the Eatradiol dosage which lead to a massive shedding. Now I'm left with bad density all over my head and the most important, very very sh*t texture that I can't fix with anything. It has been 7 months since I got covid and 2 months since I have no anxiety but my hair gets worse every month.

Be careful with T. Hope RU is enough for you!

Is that you? Looks like a terrible transplant
This is a photo from the Internet, wig + makeup.
The point is, he could have achieved the same transformation if he had treated his hair loss early. It could even be HRT if nothing else helps. And do you really think that it is better to look like photo 1 than photo 2, just because to achieve photo 2 you need to take HRT?

A clear illustration of how difficult it is to treat baldness. 2.5 years of HRT. The hair remains thinner and does not improve. But at least it's not getting worse.

I'm scared to try RU because if it doesn't help and it gets worse, I'll be maintaining weaker hair when I go back on HRT.

I tried Minoxidil in hopes of reversing the hair miniaturization, but it only caused extra vellus hair.

From the very beginning of therapy, I was more concerned about the quality of the hair than the area of its coverage. Unfortunately, the quality of the hair has not improved.

Just stay on HRT for life bro
That's what I planned to do. From a hair point of view, this is the most win-win option because the baldness will not get worse. However, I have a chance to hit the jackpot if RU helps me. Then I can keep my hair and not have to endure the side effects of HRT on my body. I think I should take a chance.
