Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

[Adri23]

Which ones exactly?

Lactation even at 6.25 mg every other day and also high prolactin which is not good on the long term.

Important update:

2 years on HRT. After this long time on HRT I have tried many thing along the way and I can say what have worked and not worked in all the time I have been on it.

The first 6 months I was on sublingual pill but also used gels sometimes and CPA, In that time my hair was fried as hell and my face feminizes rapidly, so it was not the goal I was seeking so this regimen was not optimal for me. Idk if it was because sublingual and gels was not enough to increase my E2 or if it was the CPA doing more harm than good (I didn't do any blood test on the first month).

After the first 6 months I started with injections and bica but didn't stop CPA after the first months on injections to get the T and DHT under control. After dropping the CPA things started to improve rapidly, my hair started to look healthier and I was really happy with it. At that time I was using bicalutamide 25 mg every other day and estradiol enanthate 6 mg per week. The feminization stopped and I was recovering my hair so it was a very optimal regimen since it didnt give me feminization but hair growth.

After sometimes I decreased my estradiol to 5.5mg because 6 mg was just a build up dosage since my levels got too high.

In the last 2 months I got very paranoid with my hair again and I decided to increase bicalutamide from 25 mg every other day to bicalutamide 25 mg every day and also increased estradiol to 6 mg. This was the biggest mistake of my life. My T, DHT and other androgens were already low before increasing the bicalutamide, but it further decreased it so I was suffering from 0 T symptoms and too much estrogen (low energy, dry hair and skin, muscle weakness and hair loss). I did a blood test to see what was going on and every androgen was lower but DHT increased. This might sound weird because how the DHT could rise after a year of being less than 5ng/dl suddenly. My theory was that my overall androgens were that low that my body increased DHT via backdoor pathway to get some androgens on the bloodstream since DHT is too powerful and bica at these dosages might not suppress it entirely.

Now after seeing all this, I came back to my old regimen of 5.5 mg estradiol enanthate once a week and bica 25 mg every other day alongside the dutasteride and oral min I was taking during all my hrt timeline and also before it for a year and a half and I feel good again and my hair is slowly coming back.

My conclusion is that dont get obssesed and stop increase your medication if the things that works keep working without touching anything.

Also for those who are wondering, after 2 years on HRT I don't have any feminization on my face, my beard grow normally and my sexual function remains the same as the first day on HRT, I could have posted a pic to prove but there are some ppl here whose work is to ridiculize and dox other users so I will keep it for myself.

Sexual function remains the same is total bull. One guy here got ED problems from hrt even, when u lower T by alot and nuke dht you cant expect to be as you were before hrt. Litteraly impossible.

Erection remains the same but achieving orgasm takes time. this happens to me on only e2 2mg .

Libido changes, the rest does not.

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

Even finasteride reduces sperm and semen quality. Literally scientifically documented. Stop lying. I’m not saying HRT will COMPLETELY shut down sexual function, but saying that it does not impact it or that it just impacts libido is straight cope.

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

There’s much more to it.

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

Some of you may find such side effects desirable. Hey, that’s up to your opinion. But what cannot be denied is the objective reality that these drugs have side effects (whether perceived or not)

 

[exwhyyou]

Lowkey I hope Almas tries cpa… if he gets prettier and/or completely loses libido I’d happily try it in place of bica

This sounds like the fantasy groomers want to instill. "Oh no, you'll last longer, how bad."

For me it was the opposite on HRT mono. Basically impossible to get erect and became too sensitive.

I am saying this so some people considering HRT do not get only this extremely biased perspective

I don't know if I should try CPA. On the one hand, in the first 300 pages of the thread they say that it is better for hair growth. On the other hand, I have heard that it can increase breast growth, and for some people, the quality of hair decreases.
Bica + estradiol works, but the results are very slow. I waited 3 years for the quality of my hair to improve a little.

Bica just freaks me out. I followed @Adri23 to a 12.5mg dosage last week because I was scared of the shedding and poor appearance and things haven’t really turned around. But then I look at pictures from pre bica and my hair actually just wasn’t good as I thought it was. The first month of bica 25mg was so good for my hair that it drastically raised my standards and now it seems to be going back to its estradiol only state and it’s pissing me tf off

It is difficult to compare the effectiveness of AA with taking E. Because in any case, most of the effect is achieved due to estrogen. I'm not sure there is a difference for hair between taking E only and taking E + Bicalutamide. I also stopped taking finasteride. Considering that E itself has antiandrogenic properties and prevents the binding of androgens to receptors, finasteride does not affect the result in any way.
Perhaps all this debate is meaningless and in practice there is no difference between taking E + CPA, E + Bica and only E.

Orchiectomy or Lupron would probably be better if you want to become asexual

RU asexual?

You literally use nothing because everything you tried killed your dick instantly after the first pill. Have you considered that your brain damage and mental illness could be causing these placebo side effects? losingbattle's dick still hasn't recovered from taking saw palmetto once 13 years ago, you should form a support group together instead of scaring people away from potential treatments

My dick works fine. Come to daddy boi and I will show you

Post-palmetto syndrome

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

Post-palmetto syndrome

Post-saw palmetto syndrome. PSP

 

[losingbattle88]

Post-saw palmetto syndrome. PSP

Post anti androgen syndrome to be correct. All anti androgens can cause this syndrome.

PSP was a good gaming system. Any of you guys gamers?
