    Any advice to counter my sides under topical finasteride 0.025% 3x/week (blood test inside) ?

    Keep us updated mate. It sounds good in theory if it doesn't go systemic. The problem I found with 5ar blockers was I thought I was getting no side effects because they developed so slowly, but on reflection the effects were so insidious that I didn't notice them until long after I stopped...

    Using Minoxidil for 1 Year Results..Time for a Transplant???

    Not everyone balds like calum best. You are using one example to back your argument. Again, IMO the whole point of a transplant is to avoid using poisonous 5ar blockers.

    Any advice to counter my sides under topical finasteride 0.025% 3x/week (blood test inside) ?

    Curious how you get on with it. Since getting rekt by 5ar blockers I have noticed I am very sensitive to anything similar. I tried spironolactone and noticed an effect on libido, so I'm wary of RU. I know it binds to the androgen receptor rather than to DHT itself but it's kind of the same deal...

    Using Minoxidil for 1 Year Results..Time for a Transplant???

    If I'm paying for a transplant it's so I don't have to rekt my endocrine system with 5ar blockers. Otherwise I would just take them and not need a transplant, because they did the job for me, but to the detriment of my endocrine system so I stopped. So it would be either or, not both.

    Any advice to counter my sides under topical finasteride 0.025% 3x/week (blood test inside) ?

    It's a while ago but I do recall it took me a while. I was also rekt in general which I think may have been adrenal fatigue. I high dosed vitamin c for that. Would def recommend trying cialis though. If you've never tried it, IMO it has an actual aphrodisiac effect unlike sildenafil (no idea why...

    BOOM! Huge news: Stemson on track to bless us with the holy grail soon!

    10-12 years is ludicrous. How on earth are they keeping a company afloat for that long with such slow development? It's such a huge issue that could make so much money, I don't understand why nobody has got a solution yet and we have these clowns taking forever to develop stuff.

    I mean not everyone needs 5ar blockers - other stuff works to varying degrees for different people. But I take your point. All depends on timing and how you are managing your hairloss.

    Dunno if it would help but vit d3 IMO increases DHT - certainly increases the horn. I'm actually reluctant to use it because I fear its effects on hair but if you have sexual sides it's worth a try at say 5000 iu a day for a while. Obviously the other one is cialis - not a permanent fix per se...

    Fake Minoxidil and some other words to make 7 this is dumb

    Due to minoxidil now being banned on ebay, I bought the last box from elsewhere and noticed I seem to have some apparent regrowth since after a few months of use. It occurred to me that I may have been buying fake minoxidil quite often without realising it because I would have times when I'd check...

    My point was that you shouldn't need fina to keep transplanted hair. Seems you're making a different point.

    male pattern baldness lack of good blood flow to scalp

    I visualise this as gravity creating tension in the skin on top of the scalp, because nobody goes bald around the sides. Also had a thought and wondered if most fellow slapheads here have generally poor blood circulation? I do and get stuff like cold hands a lot. Maybe full head of hair bastards...

    Using Minoxidil for 1 Year Results..Time for a Transplant???

    That's redacted if true. The whole point is supposed to be that they take it from donor areas that are not gay for DHT so you don't need nasty 5ars.
