i also fundamentally disagree with his thoughts that estrogen ruins your physique. the boobs dont bother me because i grew up with terrible gyno anyway. skinny man bodies are often objectively less gross from estrogen. if you really want to build muscle i can see how its a deterrent.

Google “MTF HRT body changes photo”. Estradiol turns you into a skinnyfat. Your hips are growing, your legs are getting fatter. This sucks. On testosterone I looked athletic, low body fat, with thin beautiful legs. This is impossible with estradiol.
If testosterone didn't make me go bald, I would never take estradiol. I went for it only because the beauty of hair, which affects the beauty of the face and head, is more important than the beauty of the body. But if I weren't going bald, testosterone would allow me to have both.

So cursed and unlucky… As I said RU for 7 months from 3 different vendors 10% 2ml=200mg in total, and not even a change in my hair quality… I tried sooooooo many things, @Adri23 knows..From Dutasteride to RU. I am now stuck with my topicals and oral finasteride which I am using for years…Losing ground on temples with sh*t hair quality. I even dosed RU at 12.5% and even 15%, but even with higher dosages felt like it was making it worse, like I was upregulating my receptors. I was feeling the same even with the twice a day application. So, I was stuck with once a day 10%… I am very exhausted..

What about HRT? If RU doesn't help me, I'll go back to estradiol.
I think RU will help you. You don’t have such an aggressive balding like mine for example. I was fucked in 17 so much already..But it’s f*****g ridiculous how minoxidil and Finasteride gave me a miracle recovery and RU did sh*t, even with the combination! I was keeping RU when I knew that I will need something stronger, and well, it did nothing!

It is difficult to determine the aggressiveness of baldness only externally. I started going bald at 16
If RU helps me, I will never use estradiol again and will be damn happy to live without hormone injections and with a man's physique.
I know what you mean only externally, but you weren’t balding like me for sure. My temples were too far gone already at 17…
Well, I am very unlucky. All this hype for RU and when I tried it left me only disappointed… I was thinking to try it again but what’s the point? 7 months are 7 months…. AND 3 different vendors…

More than enough to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs. 2-4 months is enough for me to say for sure whether the RU works.
I have always said that there is no point in waiting 6-12 months. If your current treatment doesn't stop your hair loss after 3 months, you should change something rather than watch yourself continue to go bald.

As far as I remember, the difference in DHT inhibition directly in the scalp is not as great as in the blood. I'm also skeptical about such a thing as "slowing down hair loss." I have never experienced this and believe that you either go bald or you don't and the speed does not change or changes due to other factors. These are my impressions, nothing more.
I will try Dutasteride 3 times a week. This should still be more effective than Finasteride. There is probably little difference between daily intake.

I'm taking a risk, because even on HRT my crown shows through. But I'm tired of estradiol.
I am grateful to estrogen for preserving the most important thing for which I started all this: my hair. I do not regret. But I would like to find a way to have normal male hormones and not go bald, rather than making sacrifices for my hair.
I didn’t change anything for three years, but I felt it was time to move on and not swallow the inconvenience for fear of changing something.
It's very exciting. I'll be back with updates in 3-4 months. Most likely, by this time everything will become clear.

It was dissolving in 95 degrees ethanol and PG. Although, sometimes was leaving a powdery residue on my scalp.. I read others using 10% as well..
Well, 7 months and not even a change in hair quality…. In 4-6 months on Finasteride I saw improvements already.. 7 months is plenty of time…

yeah… this is where you lose me. I’d rather have the soft, touchable hips and thighs personally
you're not wrong. but i don't believe this has to do with my appearance whatsoever, rather a personality issue. no amount of looksmaxxing can save you from being a social pariah.
