    when you say never got thicker, do you mean it didnt impact your hair at all or what? did it prevent further loss at least

    I dropped equol and sold the asc-j9. Stuff was bright orange. It would be a mess to put it on the scalp. In my opinion equol is too mild and we dont have enough data on dose response. I still think the idea is good but i need dose response info. Can't risk my hair on unproven compounds.

    I started using dutasteride in late september on a dose of every third day. It was fine for a while then I upped the dose to 0.5 mg every other day, and it began to give me breast pain, puffier nips, and the pain started to get persistent so dropped the dose down to 0.5 mg / wk, but even then like half the week after I took the dose it gave me breast sensitivity and pain which would taper at the end of the week.

    I ordered some antiestrogen drugs to try to ensure it didnt get worse. There is no perceptible external change in my chest appearance, so they do their job well enough but it leaves me wondering if I can continue the regimen long term. Even with raloxifene and letrozole (the strongest drugs for managing gyno) every few days some occasional pain pushes through. It's pretty crazy. Also with daily raloxifene to prevent estrogen from doing its dirty work and occasional letro the price of this regimen increased by a LOT. I think i will cut my losses and transition to finasteride. But it's still possible finasteride will give me breast issues, but I bet it'd be managable with smaller doses of ralox than dutasteride.I will also add RU for a stronger treatment. I have RU itself and the kb solution to mix it in but i need the vials and such to mix it in and to measure it.

    It really pisses me off that dut gives me gyno symptoms because I can see a big reduction in hair shed and new small hairs at the hair line.

    Your original pictures look good mate. Do you have any more recent ones, I'm interested in seeing what the new hairs are like from the dut
    None so blind as those who WON'T see...

    it wont be noticable in pics at the same angles and distances as original. i really dont think i can continue with dut. i worry gyno will get worse! the antiestrogens could probably hold it at bay, but i may be able to cut my loss and use fin without using antiestrogens

    There's nothing wrong with your temples and vertex. It's the light on your vertex. Make a good high quality picture of your vertex without flash in daylight, you will see it is nothing.

    Incorrect. I've taken pictures in every lighting, and I am balding in each one.
