No, I lowered my levels to 318 pg/ml still the same .... Also e2 receptors does not downregulate unless you have much higher SHBG than mine cause SHBG is the marker that says to your body your e2 is too high and start to downregulate when high.

All SHBG does is bind to sex hormones and makes it harder for the body to use them. It doesn't interfere with receptor sensitivity. It also prefers binding to androgens more so than estrogens
Estrogen insensitivity is a syndrome on a genetic level. Meaning you are born with such condition. I think if you had such condition, your bones would be brittle by now.
Check your DHT levels, and if possible DHEA and Androstenedione levels as well. Adrenal androgens could hinder feminisation

Doesn't say anything about high SHBG downregulating the estrongen receptors. And your SHBG isn't high to be fair, seems quite consistent with cis females
In any case, your hormonal profile looks to be in range with cis women.
looking at your regimen, you may need to up the Bicalutamide dosage to 50mg everyday

The thing is, I used to use bica 25 mg daily which is enough for my body with that blood test but even that didn't improve my hair a tiny bit.

1.6 pg/ml seems to be in range for cis females bruh

You need to try Bicalutamide 50 mg. This is further proof that HRT isn't some magic cure to male pattern baldness

But idk bica + dutas long term do not seem ok for liver in my head

It isn't. That's why you either take blood tests every 3 months or so, to ensure that your liver enzymes are still within normal range. Or, you make due with what you've got.
Perhaps when enzalutamide gets cheaper (patent expiry is circa 2027), you replace Bica with Enza since it is supposedly way stronger

Yeah for now I'm taking blood test every 3 months. So I will prob continue with bica for as long as I can(I'm not sure tho)
Idk if I will have hair till 2027 but if it gets cheaper and available on DIY websites I may try it.

Your androgen receptors are overly-sensitive it seems. How about increasing dutasteride dosage to 0.5 mg a day ?

I believe he's genetically very sensitive to androgens. I mean some women still lose hair and experience some Androgenetic Alopecia despite their normal range of hormones
