Sorry but no. CPA can still activate the AR when lack of androgens. That + prolactin + partial agonist makes that drug not so good specially for aggresive balding where everything matters. People who say CPA is the best drug should educate themselve first.

I can just give an example of what CPA did to my hair. First pic is 7 days before CPA(only dutasteride + oral minoxidil) and second pic is after 4 months cpa + E2 + dutasteride + oral minoxidil. Even tho is not the same position, u can see the change in texture and colour, which means miniaturization
Have you changed the structure of your hair on CPA? I have wavy hair but it's starting to curl. they don't fall out, but I don't see thickening either, I take 25 cpa and 6 E for about 5 months, there are small hairs on the temples, about 1 cm each, but they are light, do not darken and do not grow. I want to switch from CPA to spironolactone, some grow their bald spots on spironolactone monotheramia.

My hair just got destroyed and miniaturized all over my head.I used 12.5mg every day and my shedding havent stopped since then. I'm taking 12.5 mg every other day now and the shedding got better. Anyways I will change to Estradiol monotherapy. spironolactone has nasty side effects.

What are the effects of spironolactone? What does progesterone do for hair?

spironolactone is an antiandrene that boosts estradiol.
My experience of using progesterone as a 5ar inhibitor was unsuccessful. Breasts grow quickly, but the hair itself becomes stiff and loose. Also the smell of sweat increases a lot.

How is your food?
Do you consider your diet adequate?

CPA depletes folic acid and B12, and we also have a drug-patient association, the problem with self-prescription is that we have no way of knowing if your problem is really the one you report, deficiency of some micronutrients causes baldness, changes in the cholestegram cause baldness, diabetes causes baldness , heart problems cause baldness, hormones cause baldness, woman with polycystic ovaries has hormonal disorders one of the symptoms is baldness, The fact is, there are several factors.

What I mean is that hair loss has a lot more loose ends than we realize.

What we have for real, and even several reports here, is that complete androgen deprivation causes regrowth, but if you're not trans and and has no drop in androgenic pattern, it's killing a beetle with a bazuka shot.

Idk what happened. I only know CPA was the culprit of the hair loss. I have a good diet and supplement with b12 and multivitamins. It could be that my E2 wasnt in proper range? Could be. That is why I will try injections and see if it improves.

As far as I remember, you are not transgender. Why did you come to this style? Has something changed in your perception of yourself?
Nothing changed everything is the same, as it always was. I had long hair before i started losing it

Estradiol changes your feelings. Already within the first two months I became more sentimental. Before HRT, I didn't have the ability to cry at all.
There was a need for tactile contact: I want hugs, care and affection. In general, it is safe to say that estradiol makes your feelings more feminized.

This is weird cause I felt all these effect in the first 3 months but after the fourth month they all went away.

For people who looked deeply into RU58841:

I have been using a 5% ru solution ppg mixed for 2 weeks now. Since i have been using it i have been shedding lots of hairs. Thin hairs but long healthy hairs as well. I have never had this before.

I have been on dutasteride and minoxidil 8% for years and 25mg bica and E dose for half a year and only after adding ru this shed started.

Someone knows people who had a same shed and then after months their hair quality improved?
I have seen people on other forums who have had a shed like this too but it's unclear if in the long run their hair quality improved.

I play with it.

If I needs to be strong and mentally hard, I'll fall my T and elevated E2.

It needs some days to see an psychological effect....
