10mg per 2 weeks. Standart dose

I took testosterone for 3 weeks and the damage it did was significant. It's been 3 months on estradiol and I'm not even close to recovering. I figure it will take me at least a year to recover. My hairline hasn't moved, but the quality of my hair has suffered greatly and my parting hair doesn't grow past a certain length. Recovery after shortening hair due to miniaturization of the follicle takes a long time in my case, it took me 2.5 years last time...
Basically, testosterone destroys follicles very quickly and estradiol rebuilds them VERY slowly.
Thanks again for being very detailed.

Have you seen user Such_Manager_6341 on reddit?
I think it is worth to Take a look at what they achieved by injecting 7 mg per week + 1mg finasteride ed.

I looked. Nothing unusual, this is a standard effect of HRT. The effect seems more impressive when a person grows hair and does not cut it. In fact, the condition of the hair is better assessed on short haircuts. We can see that the hair on his hairline is still thin.

First of all, Almas isn’t the only active poster in the thread. I don’t know why you keep addressing him like that, it’s weird.

Second of all just take the dose suggested on the vial then wait a few months and get your levels tested and assess your situation. It’s trial and error and slightly different for each individual person.

It doesn’t matter how long it takes for the effects of testosterone to go away you just have to start HRT as soon as possible. Again, every person is unique and will respond slightly differently so don’t use Almas as a goal post. Not everyone can be as cute and chibi as him.
first of all, you don't know anything about me, which means you have to be fully acquainted with the facts before quoting.
second, why do I address only him, and respectfully?
this thread was started by bridgeburn a couple of years ago, and I do not remember bridgeburn, noah kennedy or sonolm98 writing offensive comments, and insulting other users. as opposed to the futile, cheap, obscene and childish arguments that have been invading this thread for a while, and proposed by users I don't want to engage with, they used to share on this forum useful and constructive arguments whose intrisic significance was to help other users fight hairloss. all of that, regardless of the medication that was involved.
you cannot possibly believe how much I respect sonolm98. he did not take no for an answer. to me he is like a soldier that is covered by accolades.
Almas seems to me an intelligent and poised person, and I appreciate his thoughts about the topic of this thread. Almas reminds me of bridgeburn at that time when he was experimenting. gambling but with caution, and always guided by logic. I say logic, because I am sure that Almas made his calculations before giving that testosterone+ru a shot.
I do not care about the people the people that will laugh at this, because the ones that laugh at this, are the same ones who are gonna take no for an answer.
apologize in advance for any spelling mistake.

It is much easier to get NW4-NW2 than NW2-NW0. Not to mention that the quality of the hair matters a lot, and even Norwood 0 may not be as good as it sounds. So I am not surprised by these progress photos. The main problem is that the miniaturization of the follicles is partially irreversible, and there is no cure for it.

indeed because age is a factor too as we age hair degrades too like the skin and everything we have to accept it unfortunately
