Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

The other thing is go read my postings from last night on reddit. Many gals even on full HRT are not getting regrowth at all and most get some but not complete recoveries and that is folks on bica/cpa/spironolactone plus copious E2. I told you that I had my doubts that AA's could regrow hair in the restoration sense. They might increase anagen and that spoofs a little regrowth but new follicles have not been awakened in this scenario:

That's garbage. Look at my before pics. I haven't lost that much strength since I am not on an AA. Those are what really tax one's strength. Second, I reiterate, that these are tissue re-write's and I have the body of someone in her late 20's and not some flabby body that you self-conjecture. I have posted pics of all of me on different transition sites and the comments are always positive and I have never gotten a negative one.

My breasts are high and firm and women actually can be almost as strong from the waist down. I had a scrawny bottom before and now I have a bit more ballast but that diminishes as I go down in weight. You need to get off this thing about exercise being anywhere comparable to HRT in terms of promoting attractiveness, not to mention, dude, I was bald and no amount of work in the gym solves baldness. We have endless threads about this. So, again, you can go off bica and start exercising as you become increasingly bald and then wear a system to have the body and hair that you want.

But you are deluding yourself if you think that I could somehow be more attractive by going bald and working out. Again, I have men and women and MtF's and FtM's all showing interest in me now via PM and I assure you, that was not something that happened to me after I lost my looks towards the end of my 40's and, it came on remarkably fast probably assisted by my depression.

Probably, I do not understand you because of your age. I thought older men are easier to treat baldness. Moreover, you have a good face and skull shape. This is my problem with both.

Are you saying that AA is bad for hair? That's bullshit. AA can't hurt, although you can refuse it if you suppress T

 

[Almas]

I think the chances of hair regrowth on HRT are pretty high and well over 90% if you haven't been bald for too long. I have no dead follicles, and this increases the chances of 100% recovery. If you've been balding for 10 years and your whiskey reflects light - of course, you are unlikely to get a Norwood 0. But even Noah regained his growth line, although I would not have thought that he could restore that much. The power of HRT is significant

Thanks. I agree about my face and skull shape. I posted my 17 year old pic and I was definitely attractive and had nice hair just below my ears that I loved. That probably helped me into my late 40's but then even aside from counts, my hair quality plummeted. I am not sure why older men would be easier to treat except perhaps you can re-set the axis more quickly but you are not even going to re-set the access on bica only. I can put out a call-out on reddit about hair growth using only bica but very, very few MtF's use an AA without E2, so I probably won't get many responses. But read through what people said yesterday and even using E2 and an AA, many are not getting complete restoration. I am uncertain about full restored anagen but perhaps not either. The anagen makes you able to grow your hair long. That doesn't matter for people just chasing coverage but again, I wanted the best version of my hair and since I have essentially no gray hair, I am approximating my teen look more and more, especially with the facial feminization. Most people guess that I am 35-40 now and as my hair keeps coming in, they may guess 30 since virtually no males of that age can wear their hair long or part in in the center.

My mom is going bald - this is a bad sign for my genetics. However, on HRT, my E level will be higher than that of my mom, LOL.

How did you get that from what I wrote? I said people using E2 and an AA, so on programs superior to yours are still often struggling for regrowth/restoration.

He didn't even save. I go bald further, my hair is destroyed. I will catch up with you soon

Please, do you mind sharing pictures!?

When I use Injection, I can stop using Bicalutamide. But I will continue to take 37.5mg just in case, also I will not forget about Finasteride

Again, you have no data or really basis for the 90 percent claim. Given that time and again, I answer posts from people with no regrowth at all on full HRT, plus there are many threads claiming that regrowth on HRT is impossible. Two MtF's wrote that in the comments section of Rob English's article on transgender hair growth, which I recommend that you read. His article got me to take the final committed plunge:

This is a month ago. Now I'm even worse, much worse. My temple is destroyed, and the parting shines through my head even more
I didn't take a photo, it doesn't make sense. I will take a photo before HRT

That is likely to work better but I also microneedle and use oral min so it might take providing a positive shock to the hair system to get full benefits. Bridge didn't microneedle but otherwise, he was on the full range of meds including pretty much always an AA plus ten mg of oral min every other day. Not sure why instead of splitting the daily dose but that is what he said while recounting his experiences on here.

Perhaps their follicles are just dead and have a smooth bald patch?

Yeah, temple is in a very good condition, and yet you are doing very good STILL. Much better than me xD but hey, hairloss future is still bright.

HRT mainly stops baldness. Regrowth happens with the lucky one's. Go look out for some HRT folk videos and experiences. It is not guaranteed.

Once I was told so about Finasteride ...

Bridge is gone and I have had a person tell me that this thread is very over and that what's discussed on here only goes around in circles now and I can't disagree. I see this person often and they seldom post here any longer. I did at least 100 pages of content on here last fall but the carry-over's from the Bridge era said that I was turning this into a tranny thread so I took my content and started my own thread. When people ask me now about the differences, I say that my thread is closer to the old Bridge thread plus with articles and other insights that I have gleaned from being on HRT. When asked to describe this thread, my answer was/is that this now is a banter thread with little or nothing to provide to others. Even some like EK haven't turned up in a while so if you guys aren't posting pics, there's no reason to keep this thread going.

I got an enormous amount of hits and interest both on my thread and on Reddit so there is still great interest in progress pics proving that this really works because many doubt it and think perhaps that Bridge and I have perhaps better hair genes or something else assisting us but I think that it is high-dose E2 plus an AA for some plus oral min. I enjoy banter with you and pls but maybe post daily articles about Bica and AA's or other aspects so third parties have something to gain here. I can describe all aspects of hair loss as a male and now as an MtF but you two, although quite intelligent, don't have that accumulated experience. I try to (Propecia--not propecia, HairLossTalk.com did that) you up Almas and encourage you but eh, you know, it gets old for me too some times when it is always the same thing and sort of akin to whining. Not to mention you over-sell bica as opposed to HRT in general without sources and you reference ghosts from the past on here but unlike me, you only rarely base things on what Bridge did, although you did have one comment like that today.

When my hair loss started again at 48 or whatever, I had a sort of nervous break-down and you might be having that too. But I see a therapist weekly and I take a weak anti-depressant called Wellbutrin. I think all of this is overwhelming for you in a way that it isn't for Pls who seems patiently calm. But if you want your hair to stop falling out, then add some other meds, like either E2 or oral minoxidil to try to turn the tide of inertia. I had decades of inertia to overcome but that is your strength; you still have most of your hair. Look at the comments I linked, there are a couple of people your age mentioning their recoveries vel non. Compare yourself to their anecdotes to see if bica alone could ever be enough. I always doubted it even from the beginning but again, I fully understand placing one's hopes in a potentially miracle med.

Yikes. Acne too? Another sure sign of DHT wreaking havoc. How long till you turn 18, my friend?
