Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

I think it will work. Ikarus said that in the future he would stop E and stay only on Bik and some other drugs. E will restore your follicles, and androgen blockade will prevent them from miniaturizing

There is actually a cure, but you will have to sacrifice masculinity. Well, baldness is a masculine trait.

"Even castration doesn't reverse hair loss, so you can't expect something like bica to work by itself."

By Pegasus. Not wanting to quote or pin a member unneccesarly. But this is just FACTS.

We may need to introduce 2mg of Estradiol (and 5mg or oral Minoxidil) maybe for a year or two, to reverse balding. I am pretty sure you can tapper off it and continue with bica + duta to maintain what you have for your (liver- (lol)) life time -> See Noah.

It could be that you dont even need E (+minoxidil) because you got such great aromatizing genes... but thats pretty doubtful. Well, Ein got an estrogenic profile from only bica...

I would bank sperm before adding Estradiol, because your testicles will atrophy and you wont be able to get childrens anymore (for ever (being infertile)).

Some, like Ein, manage to get results without estrogen. The problem is that each case of baldness is different. Therefore, if it helped Yein, it is far from the fact that it will help me. There are many messages on the forum that even high dosages of Bicalutamide did not help someone. It is dismoral and depressed. Of course, I have a plan B, but I hate to have to use it. I would like to see regrowth this year and finally forget about baldness, and not copulate with my nervous system and try a new treatment for several years

Eww sticky gels on skin, just no.

You can apply it before bed. In a dream, you are unlikely to be bothered by the gel on your hands.

Why not just taking tablets/pills, if you will stop E anyways after regrowth?

At first I thought about pills, but then I came to the conclusion that the gel is more convenient and cheaper. I also consulted with MTF, they told me that the gel is better. But I don't remember why anymore, lol

 

[Almas]

In fact, Ein is the only one who got the result on Bicalutamide. Everyone else either didn't get it, or used doses above 100mg, or added E

He is a mysterious case. Lol. You can tell by his hairline that his aromatization genes are IMPRESSIVE, despite of the aggressive male pattern baldness (early onset).

To be honest, I am beginning to lean towards the idea that Bicalutamide alone will not help me. Because Ein has unusual baldness, and he did not help everyone else who has baldness like mine. I will wait until autumn and think about adding E to me, or increasing the dose of Bicalutamide. Ideally, I should try 75mg first, then 150mg, and then think about estrogen. The fact is that testing will take another 1 year, and my patience is running out. I'll try to keep myself together

Test your T levels in 1-2 months.
Adjust the dosage af bica to your T levels.

Give it another 3 months time.

If you are not happy, add 2mg E2.

And if you still dont get your desired result, take 5mg Minoxidil.

 

[Almas]

Bica is honestly safer

@JaneyElizabeth

 

[Almas]

Mine is 719 pmol/L...

Е

 

[Pls_NW-1]

Е

Holy, thats much! With only 2mg... and bica.

 

[Pls_NW-1]

Query: I've been taking Bicalutamide (with 4mg e) for the past 3 months and I've notice no change at with my hair. I'm about to run out and considering going back to CPA? Have I given Bica enough time? or do I stick with it for a further 3 months.

Previously I've been on CPA + duta + minoxidil for a year or so, on this I managed to recover hair crown and fill temples with a ton of pigmented vellus hairs. But everything stopped growing, so I switched to Bica. And it's stayed the same - vellus temples stuck not growing, not falling either, weird.

You still alive?

 

[Nimos0651]

If I want to add estradiol, I will add 1.5mg E from Estrogel, which is two clicks, as I understand it. Do you think this will work?
I'm going to apply it to my forearms, not my scalp

@bridgeburn used it the first couple months for his estrogen intake and saw very good results. There is very little science and research backing it but I do believe it has a localized effect on the scalp. Its hard to see the vellus hairs in regular lighting but the ones that have grown in the last 5 weeks are in places I have not had hair since I was like 13 so something is happening....

 

[Almas]

Not really. Flutamide is a STRONG anti androgen at the right dose for your body. It is oral RU or bicalutamide. My e was a 30pg/ml the entire period I took Flutamide. My T was well off the charts as was my DHT.

What dose did you use, why are you not using it now? I am using 50mg Bicalutamide

 

[Nimos0651]

I think it is better because it has a longer half life and allows you to have consistent E2 levels where if you take it orally through a pill there are moments that it spikes your E2 levels. I really do believe that it has a localized effect. Lets see what happens at the 6 month mark.

I really dont see any evidence why the regimen i started a month ago will not grow hair. I am using a low dose of spironolactone, low dose of E 5mg oral minoxidil and finasteride. All of my research over the last couple years indicates that this is bound to re-grow hair, the only thing that might need to change is the dosage.

 

[Almas]

currently I believe taking bica, estradiol and dutasteride is the strongest anti-androgenic regimen

 

[Pls_NW-1]

Bica+duta is already anti androgenic. But if you really want no androgens then E will solve that. But we want actually androgens... mh

 

[Derelict]

I still haven't fully recovered from the letrozole shed from march last year, i have no idea what to do to recover from it other than estradiol. It completely decimated my hair the two months i was on it at 2.5mg. Very stupid of me to take it instead of trying something like ralox instead, live and learn i guess.
