Another plug in a boat with 700 holes. Let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet. Best case scenario, this is a little better than finasteride and it has to be applied topically twice a day. Time and time again the industry fails. Nobody is getting to the ROOT cause of AA, just...

Personally, and it's just a bro-science theory, I don't think DHT has anything to do with it. I believe brown adipose tissue degradation is 100% responsible for it, and DHT, up-regulation of androgen receptors, and every other protein they are looking at are dead ends. Here's my bro-science...

Thank you so much, greatly appreciate it!!

Hello there, and congrats on the amazing results so far! Couple questions, if you don't mind? Can you provide a link of the exact estrogen you are using? Where do you apply, other than the scrotum? I've been on Finasteride for a year (1MG a day), and got stabilization and some minor regrowth...

Edit. Started Oral minoxidil on 9-9. Took first pic on Sept 12th, added topical 5% on the 12th on temples only, and upped does to 1.25MG oral 2x a day 2nd pic today, so 9 days total.

2 weeks on oral minoxidil. First week 1.25MG once a day. 2nd week 1.25MG twice a day. Added topical 5% minoxidil 1x per day for the 2nd week. Pictures taken exactly 1 week apart. Buzzed hair to #1 right before taking pics both times. Same lighting, angle and camera. I've been on Finasteride for...

Dude, 17 days is NOT too early to see minoxidil results. I just learned that in literally like 10 days since starting oral minoxidil! I think what is happening is quite a few of your vellus hairs are going terminal, and becoming visible. You definitely have some progress, even though the first...

You have to give it 12 months, preferably 15. Search Google for Finasteride 9, 10, 11 month sheds. Extremely common. I am coming up on 1 year on finasteride in 2 weeks, and I went through a couple big sheds that took me WAY below baseline. Every shed I've had comes back a bit better every time. Just...

For all of those, suggesting I should "kill myself", let's make sure we recap. I posted a thread on this forum, venting about how frustrating this sh1t is, and how it has affected my life. I thought that's what the whole f*****g point of the forum "coping with hairloss" was about. I reacted to...

Maybe you should think before you reply to my thread, calling me a b!tch for trying to get some support from other's with similar problems.

f*** you. Do you think being in one's 30s makes it any easier? If anything, it makes it WORSE because I didnt have to deal with this sh*t at puberty and learn to accept it before I got my first piece of ***......like you.

I dont even know where to start, or whatever. This disease is absolutely awful. Is it worse than cancer, aids? Probably not, but it sure FEELS like it is. I guess to some people, who are better able to cope, it's not a big deal......but then there's the rest of us. 37 here, 2 kids, separated...

Thank you Janey, I appreciate the reply and your contributions to this forum! Basically, I'm a Norwood 2.5 at 37. Some recession, and minor crown thinning, but no slick bald areas (except temples before finasteride) Finasteride has thickened existing hair, regrown some on my crown, and I've gotten a ton of...

Anybody have a recommendation on which Estrogen to use, and how much to add to Finasteride? This thread is confusing, bi-estro, estrogel, oestrogen, buccal, sublingual, etc etc. On finasteride 1mg ED right now, don't want start minoxidil, unless it's a last resort. Looking for a recommendation on a...

Thanks for the reply, appreciated! Couple questions, if you dont mind? How much regrowth did you get from Finasteride alone, before starting Min? I know its been a long time ago, but do you remember when you started noticing changes on finasteride, and if it kept getting better for a certain amount of...
