estradiol gel - anyone try on scalp?

[Marky]

Judging from the transgender dudes/dudettes results from another thread it's obvious estrogen plays a big part in hair re-growth. Also consider womans hair quality gets better when they're pregnant due to elevated estrogen levels. Ok I know we are men and most want to stay that way, but how about rubbing a does on the scalp a couple times a week?

Just don't like the possible side effects:

Serious but less common side effects include heart attack, stroke, blood clots, dementia, breast cancer, cancer of the lining of the uterus (womb), cancer of the ovary, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, gallbladder disease, liver problems, changes in your thyroid hormone levels, and enlargement of benign tumors (“fibroidsâ€￾).
Common side effects of estrogens include headache, breast pain, stomach or abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, fluid retention, and vaginal yeast infection.

But this is every day usage. Has anyone tried this as a topical on the scalp 1-2 times a week for regrowth?
Thx

Or would the above side effects not be as evident in men since they already have way more testosterone to counter estrogen effects, thoughts?

Any results with Progesterone?

There's the risk of it going systemic and by risk I mean the dangers of it occurring and not that it "might go" otherwise I too think it would give great results.

I use estradiol gel topically on my scalp. Results: hair regrowth on temples.

Could you please elaborate on your progress? Maybe some before/after pics?

Looking at your regimen, you have to be trolling or mixed up. You take 200mg of Cyproterone acetate orally every day? How are you not dead right now? You're gonna need a liver transplant in no time if that is really your dosage. I know trans friends who've had health complications on 25mg/day. And that 25mg dose is usually MORE than enough to completely nuke their T count into oblivion. I know a bunch of trans girls on only 12.5mg lol. You must be in the negatives with 200mg/day lmao.

Taking that and estradiol orally, you're 100% for sure going to feminize yourself. No doubt about it. I very seriously hope you're trans, lol.

Why don't you drop all that crazy **** in your regimen and just use 2.5mg dutasteride daily it reduces scalp DHT by like 80%. 200mg oral Cypro is a death wish.

Agreed. That is nothing short of insane. How are you not paranoid ALL the time. take dutasteride and apply RU and your androgen problem is solved.

I have read about dosages of 200 to 300mg of CA given to patients. That being said, yes it's pretty dangerous long term at such dosages imo. Heavy on the cardiovascular system, hepatoxic etc.

The photos of my progres are here http://zachowajwlosy.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2037 . This is the polish forum of hair loss. You have to be registered and logged in to see the photos. I live and I have a great time! I'm not a woman or transgender, I fight with my Androgenetic Alopecia/male pattern baldness only!

Can you post them here? Pretty curious to your progress!

I'd be curious to hear what you're doing to counteract the feminizing effects of oral cyproterone acetate & estradiol since you are not transgender. Surely you must have some breast development, erectile dysfunction, softening of the skin, and other feminizing effects going on right? If so would you say that you value your hair more than the other negatives of such an extreme regimen?

Sorry for strange line of questioning. I'm just genuinely curious why a cis male would go down the path you have. Very interesting indeed.

 

[Secretlybatman]

The answer is hair. Honestly if i was a millionaire id take the breast development over a year to fully regain my hair then id just drop and maintain on finasteride and get gyno surgery but since I'm not rich enough to afford surgeries that's not an option lol

 

[Marky]

The question is could you maintain it on just finasteride.

Did you ever go off your HRT temporarily - did you start losing hair and revert back?

200mg is crazy, he clearly fucked up his hormone profile doing that much

Still using? I'm using bi-estrocare. 2x day.

total of 2mg estriol + 0.50mg estradiol a day

Ordering the same. Oestrogel cream I presume?

Curious why did you stop ru and CB?

 

[Jonny Craig]

Would it be crazy to use bi-estro care on my balls instead of on hairline?

It's really effing tricky.

Bunch of new little hairs on front center hairline.
But my left side hairline is getting murdered...

It doesn't make any sense.

I am thinking of adding progesterone.....

So after 7 months of estrogen on hair...I just don't think it's helping, or if it is, it is so minimal that it isn't worth the gyno/sexual side effect risk. I'm going to update my thread soon. All I have to show for this is a few new hairs on the temples and hairline (cosmetically insignificant) and a massacred frontal hairline with receding temples.
