that is excellent progress!!Crown is responding aswell for sure in comparisson to your first post!!Happy to see progress to this horrendous desease cause by poisonous androgens!!
Solxama's great experiment - HRT vs aggressive Androgenic Alopecia
- Thread starter Solxama
- Start date
Yeah, I'm so happy. Getting my hair back is very important for progress on my new life path. My long term plan is to grow it out long
Hope the CPA helps, im terrified of the stuff, even at low doses, although i admit it is probably an irrational fear. Wish you success.
The only medication I'm terrified of is Bica after my reaction lol. The one side effect of CPA that could be pretty bad beside liver is the depression and prolactin raising, but apparently it can be countered by Vitamin B12 supplements.

the highest dosage of CPA for hairloss is 50mg?? Tell me how it feels on CPA because i will start my AA on top of my 5ARI inhibitors as a monotherapy before E .Also why don't you add minoxidil on stuborn areas?
.Also why don't you add minoxidil on stuborn areas?I don't feel the need yet, but I have got some on standby incase progress slows down. Also there is no need for 50mg CPA if taking Estrogen. 12.5mg is enough. And yeah, I'll let you know how I feel when I startthe highest dosage of CPA for hairloss is 50mg??

you regrowth was great, at this rate you'll have your temples covered.I don't feel the need yet, but I have got some on standby incase progress slows down. Also there is no need for 50mg CPA if taking Estrogen. 12.5mg is enough. And yeah, I'll let you know how I feel when I start
im not so lucky because even on hrt, im still receding and my mental health has been in the toilet for about 2 years now.
how old are you? im 23 and starting to realize that the cards were stacked too high and toppled over.
im a non-dysphoric guy, and hairloss has been so traumatic for me i took up arms and started taking my aggressive regimen.
not moderately attractive as a gay man so its difficult for me to pursuit relationships especially when i want the dynamic of being "the woman" in the relationship. i had good nice hair back in june before i shaved it all off; shed was intense and i can confidently say that i lost easily a third of everything i had. hair was one of the only good things about me, very dark brown black in color. now my hair is thin dry and brittle. no hair product works and the only derma i can see is some douchebag on the nhs. he goes to me "ur fine lol" pretty much and gestures for me to go.
now im a gyno bro now. if i ended up a woman i'd feel indifferent from how i feel about being a man.
however being a man is like being a woman with several downsides, hair loss, libido, body hair, facial hair, bad skin, expectations you cannot live upto. list goes on. dutasteride was a recent addition to my regimen, apparently it can take upto two years for final results and that shedding is normal because apparently the body is pushing out miniaturized hair and grow stronger hair in its place however I think its cope.
im going to get my thyroid tested as a last resort, chronic tiredness and really long eyelashes are an apparent sign of an under active thyroid.
so its either chronic telogen effluvium or an autoimmune problem which incase of the latter i am boned.
so i wish you the most luck on your hairloss journey. congrats on being a woman. heres to healthy hair.
Thanks for the encouraging words, I really hope my progress continues at the current pace.
I'm 24 years old.
And yeah I agree, being a man has a lot of downsides, especially in our society. The worst downside however is having androgens, they destroy beauty and youth. Hair loss is just one of the many negative things they cause.
As to you, if your hair loss has other causes then only Androgens and even if you are not dysphoric I'd still stay on HRT if I were you. At least you'll look younger and won't have the horrible effects of male ageing.
I hope you find the cause of your hair loss and manage to fix the situation, good luck!
Yay, another weekly report
7 Weeks on HRT :
*Effects on Hair :
-Temple progress has speeded up a lot during the last week, here are some pictures
- Right temple, as you can see a lot of regrowth going on, plus the hair looks so much healthier.
- Left temple, still the best responding area from my temples, even my former hairline is coming back in this area.
-Crown looks very good, although still pretty bad under intense lighting. Despite this the progress is huge, as all of my bald areas are covered with hair, now it just needs to get longer to fully hide them. Some pictures bellow.
-Crown under normal lighting, looks great, especially the stronger hair color.
- Crown under intense lighting, doesn't look too great. But like I said, the good news is it's fully covered by hair. Pretty short in some areas, but visible and for the first time since years I can feel it under my fingers, instead of bare skin.
*Other effects :
-Breast growth has speeded up again, cone tits time soon lol. I will need to get a bra in about a month or two.
-My emotions are all over the place, mood swings are frequent. Also loneliness is really starting to bother me lately, something that I didn't care much about before. Although these might also be the effects of me being lazy with my meditation routine and recent sad events that happened in my life. I'm trying to do mindfulness again recently, we'll see how this effects my emotions.
-When I think my skin can't get any better, it does. I can't believe how soft and good looking it is!
-First signs of body hair thinning have appeared.
All in all, a pretty interesting week in terms of progress, will keep everybody updated

One week of CPA for me today, no serious side effects at all. The only thing I noticed it's better to take it on a full stomach as empty causes discomfort. Also I take it before bed and it makes me sleepy, which is a good thing as I sleep well after it.
After this week I can say CPA is looking good in my case and I regret I didn't go with it straight away.

Another small milestone for me has passed!
2 months on HRT report :
*Effects on Hair :
-Temple progress hasn't changed much from last week, but I took a picture from a different perspective, to show that regrowth has also started on the sides on my head.
-As you can see regrowth is also happening in this area. The hairline that has been lost for years is coming back. Sorry for the wet hands btw, pic was taken right after washing them lol.
-Crown regrowth is continuing nicely, bald spot is slowly but surely getting smaller. It's just a question of time and the new hair getting longer now, and I'll have my crown back!
-Pic of my crown, fully covered by hair but still very short in some areas. In less intense lighting bald spot is fully invisible.
-Close up, only a question of time now.
*Other effects :
-Since I started CPA my breast growth has really speeded up, I now have small cone tits. I will be getting a bra in about 2 weeks.
-My testicles have shrunk even further, about 50% by now. This means my T is most likely fully nuked, I will be having a blood test next month to confirm this.
-Mindfulness seems to be helping with feelings of loneliness and mood swings. My emotions have become stable again, but they are still much more real then before HRT. And I really like this!
-Body hair thinning has speeded up, the most visible is on my abdomen. About 50% of the body hair in that area is gone. Also some thinning has
happened on my arms. Body hair also generally grows slower after shaving.
After two months of HRT I cannot imagine ever going back to living on Testosterone. It was hell on Earth, I have no idea how I managed to survive from puberty till 24 with the effects of androgens. Getting on Estrogen is the best decision I ever made and the only regret I have is not starting earlier. Also I wanted to apologise for maybe being a bit over eager on here, I'm trying to combat my loneliness and to help other people in a similar situation to me, that is having strong balding genes. So I hope you understand. Also I wanted to thank all the wonderful people who support me on this forum, I love you guys and girls <3
And to people who have ill intentions towards me or dislike me for being trans, nothing you say will deter me from this path. Trying to change my mind is a waste of time.
I'm looking forward to further changes HRT will bring, and I'll keep everyone updated

Thank you, and yes I will keep you updated!
After being here for a few months I must say this forum is a pretty wild place. I've met a lot of great people here, but I've also seen quite the weird stuff.
I love this place for the informative stuff and all the nice people I've met, but some parts of the community should be studied from a cultural perspective by scientists.
The cultural phenomenon of hair loss communities lmao
I know I'm not a saint and am a somewhat eccentric person myself, but still these forums leave me speechless sometimes lol.

It was hell for me, I love my emotions and before HRT they were muted and felt much less real.
And in this case it's not even mood swings, I just simply don't get some people. A few examples are people who do nothing about hair loss and just complain, people who think something as weak as Finasteride is some kind of evil toxic drug, using this to justify their inaction and finaly people who are so full of hatred and contempt to other human beings, thinking only about themselves and self gratification.
Also before I came out as trans most users were so nice to me, now they're not. The only reason for this change is that I defended the dignity of other trans people.
It just makes me sad that some people are so cruel.
Thank you for your words tho, I hope everything is going well for you
Also I have an announcement to make. There is no point in doing weekly reports now that my progress is steady, I'm going to switch to monthly reports.
Also I will be less active, I'm not planning to fall down the same hole many here have, that is becoming a miserable person, terminally on this forum complaining about hair loss all the time. I got a life to live, with many objectively better activities.
I'll still be on, just less. So if anyone wants to catch me to ask something or simply talk you can post on this thread or dm me and I'll reply as soon as I see it.

please do the monthly reports i really wish you get full head of hair asap and i want to see that!!
Yeah, a new monthly report is due in 3 weeks. I'm not entirely leaving the forum, just scaling down my use to avoid obsessing, something that's unhealthy. I got a treatment that works so there's no point reading and talking about hair 24/7.please do the monthly reports i really wish you get full head of hair asap and i want to see that!!
Also I need to take care of my emotional wellbeing, and being on here so much only led me to obsessing over hair although my regimen is working, not to mention letting my emotions get the upper hand and engaging in pointless arguments and discussions with people who I clearly don't understand, nor do they understand me.
I don't hate them or anything, it's just the fact our mindsets and opinions are so different that it's impossible to form any mutual understanding. So I'm gonna do my thing, and let others do theirs.
Peace
