How's your hair maintained over the years? Seems like a solid stack. Keep us posted, especially on estriol.

I had amazing growth for the first 12 months, I then spent 13-14 years with the balding look/diffuse thinner. My hairline has been solid until recently, but my crown has always been sh*t. I'm hoping the new regimen will give me growth. I will also add RU and possible estradiol, but don't want gyno etc.

I upped my estriol to 20mg/ml x2 per day and had a horrible shed last week. My hair looked like crap but seem to be recovering. I also noticed my scalp looked very oily.

Really, Estriol topical ?! and not progesterone ?! man, Do you want to be a women ? Add Ru if so .

Explain? Why should I take progesterone and not estriol?
Estriol is very weak... and no, I don't want to be a woman... but these are desperate times (recently divorced and in mid 30s - this is my last shot really)!

 

[Evocator]

Will you accept ED & gyno?

These are pretty big guns you have here ... it's very unlikely you'll end up with no sides.

 

[mj9]

So far... no gyno and no ED. It's weird but I've never had such hard erections until recently (no joke)

Quick update - I have started to notice hair everywhere and I'm attributing them to oral minoxidil. It is very exciting as I've been on oral minoxidil for only nearly 2 months.
No gyno or other feminising effects so no sure if estriol is doing anything yet!

Who is your source for estriol? Did you shed on oral minoxidil?

Alibaba - same as peguses.
I had a horrible shed last week, but difficult to say what caused it oral minoxidil or estriol?

Seems like I'm having another f*****g shed after adding topical dutasteride and Ru58841

you're playing a very risky game buying drugs from websites like alibaba, I wouldn't buy anything from china when it comes to drugs, that market is full of fake products.

A majority of drugs in the world come from Chinese labs and some of them have alibaba listings. You'd have to stop buying drugs from your local pharmacy in order to not buy from China.
Regardless, many people who have been buying from alibaba have tested their products numerous times and found that quality & purity is pharma-grade. I personally haven't seen a lab report to the contrary.

the difference is that the drugs are supervised by the distributer to your local pharmas

I take estradiol orally, finasteride/dutasteride orally and estrogel topically.

I have taken all 4 for last few months, plus a few supps.

I have peach fuzz on a crown that has been smooth bald for over 30 years.

And I have not turned into a woman yet.

I however do not get random erections anymore but my sex is actually better than it has been for decades.

My penis is still sensitive but in a slow burn kinda way, which makes it more enjoyable.

I also have nipple pain, but zero gyno. This nipple pain started within 2 weeks of estradiol and estriol, but the only difference I can tell is a tiny slight resemblance to pecks. So it in fact looks better than it was.

I have read that nipple pain does not necessarily lean to gyno, and hope that this will continue to be the case with me.

I hope your peach fuzz turns to thick terminal hair.

I also have peach fuzz everywhere, but I suspect it's due to oral minoxidil as the hair are all over my body as well.

No gyno or ED on estriol, so I might also get on to topicL estradiol soon.

Why estradiol when estriol is superior in terms of ERa/b selectivity? Risk is much less too. I would rather increase to 20 mg/d or more than whatever you are on. Or maybe increase to 3x applications per day.
