Im doing good without it but I still have over 100 pills left so im gunna use whats left. cypro doesnt cause as much receptor activity overall as spironolactone. and apparantly it might help reduce 5ar as well?..

"Chlormadinone acetate, cyproterone acetate and dienogest are potent, orally active progestogens, which have antiandrogenic instead of partial androgenic activity. They act mainly by blocking androgen receptors in target organs, but also reduce the activity of skin 5alpha-reductase,"

Interesting, I will have a look.

f***, this really reinforces that Oestrogen is the answer. It begs the question, why the f*** has there not been more research into the downstream effects that cause Bridge and others to experience such phenomenal hair count increases? I suppose Folica is content on having wasted 10 years to achieve terminal hair count increase of just 25/cm^2.

I'm curious Bridge, do you think your scalp has become less taut whilst on treatment?

I would like to ask that myself.
This tension and tautness on the top of my scalp is the most annoying thing of male pattern baldness,even more so that the aesthetic outcome.
Btw,@bridgeburn you seem to be growing hair between your eyebrow and hairline.How are you planning to combat that?Laser?

No kidding. Here's the most recent study...from 2005. They tested only 1300 genes.

Do you plan to stay long term in this regimen ? Or do you want to get results and try to maintain with dutasteride ?

Im not sure, I haven't been memorizing or paying much attention to the tightness. the top of my scalp is still really tight, the temples though feel looser than the top. maybe there's more fat in the temples?

If my boobs don't become too big, I'll just stay on this regimen. The moment they start becoming a problem, then i may try to maintain with something else ...or wear a binder?

Do you know if a surgery can solve the problem for ever? I mean, if the boobs grow too much you can make the surgery and continue to take the drugs? Is it possible to make the surgery more than one time?

Once the gland is removed, it doesn't grow back. but maybe would have to still worry about fat distribution? I'm a bit afraid of surgery though so I hope it doesnt get too much.

You can always wear a bra,ha,ha!:D
Fun aside,even if you cover gyno with a binder,how are you gonna cover the fact that your face and body will be perceived as female?
Convert to Islam and wear a burka?Ha!,ha!

About that... most folks already look slightly feminine with a clean shave. Only hairloss actually labels you as male in those scenarios. As long as you have even a little facial beard/shadow you can easily pass male even with tits. Folks mistake it for fat, unless its really perky and not puffy.

No one is going to think that, I'm not going to wear female clothes or grow my hair extremely long and if I keep some scruff on my face I will always be percieved as male. even if I am a soft looking guy, I won't look abnormal.
