i remember you you had diffuse thinning as me and you was trying HRT+bica+oral duta every 2 days + oral minoxidil, you didnt recover your hiar? did you ever tried to block the adrenal androgens with dexamathesone or something like that?
Im using daily dutasteride btw, but yeah i never managed to stop my hairloss, but I dont want to use corticosteroids because those stuff are scary long term and tbh I dont want to recover hair thanks to that because if it gives me issue which could with time i would have to stop and lose hair again. Also my acth, 17 oh prog and cortisol are in normal values, now I will test 17-Deoxycortisol and 17 deoxycorticosterone

No, you said I was using dutasteride every 2 days and I corrected that. I'm still using everything but with underwhelming results if I am really honest.

I tried spironolactone with no success

Hi, maybe some of you guys remember me… So I decided to give a try to HRT to save/reverse my hairloss. Unfortunately NOTHING works on me.

I have been on 50mg bicalutamide ed + 4 mg estradiol + 10mg oral minoxidil ed + 0.5mg dutasteride ed + 1mg finasteride ed + 150mg RU58841 + 20mg Pyrilutamide (2 x 10mg) + Topical minoxidil 2 x day + Rosemary Oil ed

My blood test after 1 month on HRT:
T: 1.5nmol/l
E2: 239 pg/ml
DHT: 39pg/ml

After 3 months:
T: 0.9nmol/l
E2: 289pg/ml
DHT: 26pg/ml

After 6 months:
T: 0.6nmol/l
E2: 233pg/ml
DHT: undetectable

I also did a blood test for thyroid tsh, ft3, ft4, ferritin, iron, b12, prolactin and everything was fine.


It slowed down a bit my hair loss but after 8 months my hairs are thinner. My crown is much thinner, still receeding, temple peaks literally disapeared, my hairs are still miniaturizing.

All I want to say to you guys, HRT - even with proper female levels, even with undetectable DHT values is not guarantee to hairloss. As you can see for example on Reddit /femalehairloss a lot of women with normal female hormone levels are going bald too. They have diffuse thinning/female pattern baldness/receeding hairlines etc.

If you want to try HRT/pyrilutamide/RU etc. of course you can do it, but remember that there is no GUARANTEE to stop/reverse hairloss.
shits like this make me sad af.

I think you meant 11-Deoxycorticosterone. =) Do you work with endo btw? Cause mine said that steroid tests need to be taken together as one panel.

The fact we are taking *Estradiol* for hair is f*****g abhorrent
look around bro. everyone's satisfied with sh*t hair in this godawful society. estradiol is a far better solution than going out in public whilst accepting a subpar look and having no self confidence. i actually have value now when pre-estrogen i was getting worse and worse by the day

"it's okay if i have sh*t hair as long as someone agrees to have sex with me!" is the worst attitude plaguing humanity right now
