Ha. So initiative equals unsafe levels of estrogen?
What sides r u talking about? I thought u were not getting sides from topical.@hemingway_the_mercenary hey man can you hit me with an invite to resistant group again.
I have oral Propecia another go this week and the same sides hit like a freight train. I really don’t think it’s so that I can press on with and hope for a change.
Now turning to non-Finasteride options. I got worse on RU worse on Topical Finasteride and oral minoxidil has been a nightmare of a mistake.
Maybe try .25mg of finasteride and stick it out, I had libido problems and ball ache for a month and a half but it stopped and returned to normal@Manochoice no sides on the topical but losing ground after 7 months. I tried to mix back in a low dose oral Propecia .5 daily (3 days) Fay two I got a significant ball ache and groin pain, tightness, depression and loss of morning wood. No true ED but a definite change.
@Pixie similar experience, quick diffusing and big drop in hair quality on topical Finasteride. I do think I’m doing damage with the HCG. The doctors response to a bug drop in already low serum DHT and test over 809 for year dropping quickly and big jump in estrogen.
The question really is can Propecia do harm. I was told time and time again Minoxidil had no risk other but I know it ruined my hair cycles.
9 months and I’m still losing handfuls daily. Dr. said if it was reflex I’d have back acne, oily skin, and body hair increase.
I am just going to assume it’s not working. Trying to make a year.
No idea but this Is my shed world with a wash 10 months on Finasteride
Im 21 yo ,do u think it will works better for my age? And im on week 2 of my 1mg finasterideI read that receptors will be activated once there is T or DHT. However, as we aged, we produce less T and DHT, hence, shouldnt receptors be stable / reduce ?
@hemingway_the_mercenary @bluecyclone My best friend started balding at 9, and was NW3 by 9th grade. I have pictures that I could send u guys if u don't believe me. He was NW4 (11th grade) a couple of weeks ago and sadly he took his life that time too. Balding in college/high school is literally hell despite popular belief.
You know what, that's what I lose EVERY WASH, and I shampoo my hair everyday due to how oily and inflammed it is. You wash your hair what every four days as I recall?No idea but this Is my shed world with a wash 10 months on Finasteride
Horrible man. Very sad.What the f*** ...... OMG. So sad.
What is the family history of your hair loss?I started taking finasteride in 98'-99' didn't regrow any hair. I switched to dutasteride around 15 years ago. My hair is stable. You need to look at diet and lifestyle also. It can increase estrogen (not for everyone) but that can be countered with another drug. You guys claiming sides and the drug doesn't work, are the ones the start and stop treatments because you are looking for a miracle cure and don't stick with one treatment long enough
If you are above 25 years old consider spironolactone 200 mg.Not directed at me but I’ll jump in.
Father and Grandfather paternal both NW6 by 30
Maternal Grandfather full head at 96
Two older male cousins both bald by 40.
Is this just how it goes? Is the constant shed just an aggressive way to go bald? I mean Finasteride has done absolutely nothing but sides.
Finasteride should always be the first line of attack against male pattern baldness especially if you are young.If I had Finasteride did I image that would be a mistake. Does anyone know anything about Ferritin levels and hairloss? Mine has never topped 40 and I’ve read you need 100 to keep or grow hair.
