Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

i don't consider CPA side effects to just be mere downplayed "side effects". These are brain tumours we are talking about...

And no. CPA isn't worth it because Estradiol exists, and it is vastly supperior to a synthetic progestogen in every means. If a man was to take CPA for hairloss, it would be a moot point because having both Low T and Low E causes hairloss. That, plus CPA triggers depressive episodes, which is what a man dealing with hairloss should *not* experience

So, it's best to take Estradiol + actual good anti-androgens, like Bicalutamide

CPA maximally lowers androgens by 70%. Which is the best progestogens can do without estradiol. Estradiol alone lowers androgens by 90%+ in adequate levels

But Bica doesn’t truly lower testerone it causes up regulating so if you already had reflex from finasteride then bica’s upregulation would probably have a similar effect despite using estrogen.

Bica is a little bit safer than CPA, but both are trash longterm regardless.

Kinda wanna start HRT again, but after looking at all this garbade and recalling all it did to me, not so much anymore.

Bica + Estradiol. Not just Bica alone

Also, I don't believe the whole "upregulation" pseudo-science. It has yet to be proven. Finasteride doesn't cause "reflex" or whatever. Your hair just gets targeted by the remaining DHT that finasteride didnt inbibit

Soo if you dont belive in the upregulation thing (which theres many cases here in this forum), How can you explain the fact that people lose more hair taking finasteride (70% of DHT inhibited) than when they were not taking 5ari, i.e. 0% DHT inhibited?
also it happen with people who take dutasteride too, do you think the 30% DHT left from finasteride and the 10% DHT from dutasteride, some how, become stronger than the normal baseline?
