Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

If you have nothing to lose, then use full HRT. Half measures in the form of low doses of E do not work with aggressive baldness. Even HRT, as I see in my own example, works very slowly and is unlikely to restore my hair to the ideal
I thought about using low doses of E with Bicalutamide, but I made the right decision by going straight to full HRT because half measures don't work.

Its too risky. I dont want to end up as a bald woman.

The effects of HRT are reversible. Moreover, since the chances of restoring hair are close to 100%, you are more likely to risk becoming a bald woman using such a scheme. I'll give you a spoiler: it won't work.

I also made the survivorship bias.

What do you mean?

Not really, not at all actually. Many dont find any regrowth, if you actually look up regrowth stories on trans reddit you will always find more or less the same posts while others being buried if unsuccessful or having mild regrowth as they dont give hope to people like you.

Giving up and being fine with it is the only permanent “cure”. You will always lose to aging and androgens in the long run. Unless you’re closet trans, but still you will never have perfect health with antiandrogens. My blood work shows all kinds of alterations with just 50mg bica. It was perfect before, now some of my values are in range of 50yo man (hemoglobin,bilirubin etc). Im fine with that since this is temporary solution for me, until good topical comes out (pyrilutamide) or when I have kids or something like that. If you think you will be ugly after going bald maybe you were never handsome in the first place.

Is it possible to be handsome being bald? Honestly I dont think so... :/ but unfortunately I have to accept it. My fiancée keeps saying that it doesn't matter to her but I don't trust her :/

You write nonsense so often that I became too lazy to answer you every time. That's why I ignore you.

My nonsense makes more sense than being on HRT for rest of your life.

I actually share progress pics (face fem. and hair growth),blood tests (bica toxicity),ecg (oral min),gyno surgery log(e2 tits),gyno prevention regimens(ralox,arimidex),effect on body composition (muscle and fat),add citation to every claim I make.. etc. And I actually tried more HRT meds than you so I even compared their side effects and give realistic opinion on outcomes for each of them.
You conclusion for each of your posts is HRT for life is the ultimate cure (even tho you regrew exactly 15 new hairs on it) then you add comment that you acquired female body composition in your next post and that you’re gonna make HRT guide for men. View attachment 176878

Yeah. I can only imagine how terrible it would be if someone relied on either HRT or TRT, and to not have access to treatment due to nuclear war or economic depression. Would feel like sh*t I'm sure. The thing about bica is that it is a NSAA, so your HPA axis is completely in tact.

Your hemoglobin is high or low?

Worst nightmare. I've got 2 rx, so I'll have a stock of e2 just incase lol

If that happens and someone is really desperate for his hair and can't find medication!He can always use a pair of scissors LMAO

This is what 3 months of low dose HRT can do to your facial hairs. If you want to stay as a male guys, dont try HRT

 

[keepcoolmybabies]

On one test low-normal, on another below minimum reference values. Both done in same week.

Women have lower hemoglobin levels (due to hormones) and it's one of the factors in endurance differentiation. So blocking T obviously is to blame. Doesn't make you unhealthy, per se, since women don't have health issues due to lower hemoglobin than men necessarily. But can likely make you more run down at times. Should go back to normal if you ever stop bica though

I've always hated facial hairs and have done laser and then electrolysis to get rid of them. After 2.5 years of mostly high dose estradiol and 3 years of hair removal I still have a lot of beard hairs.
Did you ever have proper facial hairs?

 

[Nebula74]

I am sorry but the differences between labs can't be that different. Unless you are from another planet. Your level is significantly less according to this table. You are not in the male range at all.

Lol sorry for late reply but different units of measurement exist, he is using nmol/l and your Wikipedia source is in Ng/dl either way his test is still quite low but higher than a woman's would be

Is it normal that 25mg bicalutamid raise testosterone after 3 days additional to 0.75mg E2 gel scrotal?

With cpa 37,5 mg instead of bicalutamid i haven't any t from my testicle...
Without cpa and with bica my t raises..

I get hot flushes, my skin get a little bit red.....

I got bad hot flashes from cpa when I used it.

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

Bica raises serum T but it makes it inert. It is sitting there due to build-up, basically. So I wouldn't worry much about that.

And 37.5mg of CPA is a terrible idea. Yes it will nuke T, but you better be on several mg of E to compensate or you will probably feel like sh*t. Remember early on Bridge was using it and it was making him feel like sh*t too. I think most will agree that 6.25mg of CPA is good enough and 12.5mg is the highest dose, which may not even be better. However, it is really not even necessary anyways. Likemike, sounds like a strange regimen. Superdosing CPA, low dose of bica, very low dose of E? Are you not wanting to go on full HRT? If you are trying to not go full HRT then I would recommend following a regimen similar to dani, anxiousandy, and/or tato. Andy does low dose CPA monotherapy and Tato experiments with low doses of a few different things, but mostly relies on bica.

 

[likemike]

Do you think I should upgrade E2 from 1 mg scrotal to 2 mg scrotal?

I have only estradiol gel.. Unfortunately.

 

[likemike]

Yes, I am on a full hrt and live androgynous / feminine

My hairline is a Norwood 1 now. My goal is a Norwood 0 like keepcoolmybabies has it
