Haha it is what it is. I have a receding hairline, but I do shed randomly and get pretty thin. It seems to thicken back randomly too lol, but my hairline was murdered by inflammation which, if I could control, I’d prob stop losing hair
Thought on oral minoxidil? Experiences?

I’d say, if you do start it, use a diuretic at the point of starting. Don’t mess around. My fluid retention happened the first week. So you will know

Can you describe the hypertrichosis? What areas are increasing? How much are taking per day?
This is exactly what I am noticing:
- The hair on the back of my hands runs up higher
- Knuckle hair seems to grow faster and get longer than its usual maximum
- Small hairs very close under the eyes
- Thicker beard (though I have always had good beardnetics)
- Vellus hairs on forehead where there didn't used to be any

Are the hairs under close to your eyes dark and noticeable? At least your getting scalp regrowth also and not just hypertrichosis. I'll be starting OM 1.25mg in a couple of weeks and was also wondering what to expect. Thanks

No, not really until you actually have hair; that's when fear of dying comes back into play and not one second before not to mention anyone who has died from oral minoxidil use, please step up. Nobody comes forward then and if you do it with finasteride, you get no men at all raising their hands just a bunch of incels who didn't read about HRT meds and how they never cause the effects that incels claim caused them to desist. We have plenty of so-called trannies around with long tresses and who keep a plowing on with just a little more concentration and secret use of male virility meds like v**** and cialis. Why do those two work for us but none of you limp balding guys? It's most likely due to the fact that yes, among the races and in life, more "feminine" men lacking body hair growth and even beard growth, generally are far more likely to keep their hair unlike the rough and rude dudes with hair covering every cm except their scalps. See how that works? Everything in hair loss works the opposite in humans related to DHT and estradiol and mine is not to ask why, mine is to grow hair and ask few questions until my deathbed followed by my good-looking corpse. But if I go from lack of blood pressure or is it too much rather as I run low in BP and yes, that can cause fainting but then I take my minoxidil just before leaping into bed before fainting happens as with Vistaril which is a great two second high until your legs give out and you find yourself the next morning on the floor with a huge bump on your head or even worse, in the hospital for two weeks where everyone says how young you look but then again, they are all 80 and above with whitish hair and grizzly beards so I felt guilty so I felt that only estrogen could make me young like they said and so I blame them and weed and my mirrors for being tranny and all so nobody do like I did and never wear your wife's shoes or panties. Even liberal chicks with lesbian pastors hate that sh*t, little did I know....

Well it seems to be permanent unless you stop using oral min or titrate downwards as very small amounts like 1mg daily can have positive hair effects but I am still at 6.25mg in the morning which is a medium to large dose. I switched to once daily in the morning to minimize eye effects. My eye effects got much more less pronounced after I went down in dosage from 25mg split in two doses daily to 6.25mg once daily.
I guess yeah but they're not as thick as the lower actual beard hairs. You just shave higher.
As for 1.25 mg, if your goal is regrowth then take more or don't bother; if your goal is really maintenance then don't use OM at all - finasteride/dutasteride/rogaine are enough. OM is a last resort medication for people like me who were too stupid get on finasteride early.

Y
how is 1.25 not enough for growth? Many ppl out there get it with online 1.25. I’m on 2.5 just to be safe though lol
It's not that it's not enough it's that 2.5-5 have been established as fine in comparison

For females, which term, Janey literally does not understand in reference to dosages, recommended oral min protocol is .25mg of oral min plus 25mg of spironolactone which is easy to remember. Now females have estrogenic environments and while female hair loss can be stubbornly untreatable, since it rarely differs from what is called diffuse thinning or Telogen Effluvium for males, it is often recovered from. Former males, purportedly need more for recovery purposes and maybe just to re-initiate follicle cross-talk which might be less of an occurrence the balder one is. My regime works so well that I recently went down from 25mg split into two doses to 6.25mg only in the morning. This seems to help with the "alien" eyes aspect which if you see it, you will know what I mean.Your eyes look slitty and puffed underneath. It doesn't impede sight except you won't like looking in the mirror. Now I am using retin-A and collagen cream on the area and on my hair line. I might titrate downward but one thing to remember is that drinkers have measurement issues below 6.25 mg and if you look at a typical dropper you will understand. .25ml is the lowest marking and that happily works out to 12.5mg of Loniten, which has fillers that make it either more effective or less effective than drinking. Nobody knows. Females literally cannot measure out .25mg of liquid because it is too small, less than a drop and maybe less than half a drop so Loniten it is for them and doctors seem to prescribe for female alopecia survivors much more readily than for males and I can only contemplate that this is because FPB is considered far more harrowing than male pattern baldness but the younger one is, the less this computes at all since I had better hair than most chicks and definitely my sister always, male pattern baldness or not. Male hair stops growing due to lessening of anagen which appears to get smaller regardless and women can grow their hair long even if they suffer from serious thinning which is rarely akin to male pattern baldness anyway.

So 2.5 should yield results while 1.25 won’t??

It's all personal to the person and gender and yes, you need to titrate but males tend not to sweat peripheral hair the way that females do. For me, it has reinvigorated beard growth some but I haven't shaved all week so the effects are faint in that I can't use an electric razor effectively and I need to shave at least twice a week and maybe every other day. My beard follicles are the only thing about me gray strangely so they are not very visible regardless but MtF's need to remove their beards very soon after coming out because even what I have is largely unknown among XX's. I more so have an FtM sort of minoxidil beard that is straggly but laser won't work on gray or blond well and I seem to be getting blonder by the day and yes, I mean that both ways. It's fun to be a blonde but not good for hair removal so guys who have gray hair, which I again don't have on my legs or anywhere else, just blond/semi visible vellus hairs, should start laser removal before going gray and I mean XY's and also FtM's who de-transition for their hair which is a real thing and it works apparently so again hair growth differences are both perplexing between the races and the sexes and many XY's regardless love the dolphin look and feel of skin unhampered by hair. It's youthful and invigorating since hairy legs do feel bizarrely different to waxed/lasered legs. And my legs were getting too hairy for my tastes in summer. Many MtF's getting surgery have to have all pubic hair removed for technical reasons so you don't want a mass of grey hair down there.
