I am trying to restore the fronto-temporal area. I take 1mg of finasteride, 0.75mg of E2 gel twice daily on the scrotum (and also apply it locally on my temples) and 5mg of oral minoxidil. Do you think adding an anti-androgen would be beneficial?

This is nonsense... Dude, why poison yourself with chemicals for the sake of 5 hairs...
I'm also from Russia. There is RU58841 here.
I use RU with dutasteride. And this is the best there is, HRT is not even close.
not even gonna begin to happen until you switch to estradiol injections
from others results, yes. but i haven't personally tested them yet. start with the injections.
I see, but injections are impossible to obtain in my country. I can only get prescribed pills, gel, and patches + AA
I saw on transfemscience that the application on the scrotum greatly increases bioavailability and allows for higher levels to be achieved. Why wouldn't it work then?

I had best results with bicalutamide and dutasteride. But ru and dutasteride 1 year later are still keeping my hair in good condition.
All in all 3 years later Im still gucci….
Btw estraidol did nothing for me, no shed after quitting nor regrowth. Useless.
Did you topical estradiol? And what dose? For how long?

do you still use oral minoxidil?
I drank Dutasteride for half a month. Then + a month and a half of duta + ru 5%. From 2 norwood I rolled back to 0.5
Well + keto 2% + microneedling + shampoo with aminexil
how old are you and how long have you been bald?
I'm 21. I've been going bald since I was 14.
I’m 37 years old and I’m 17 years old now, with very noticeable hair on my receding hairline, the top of my head and my temples.
But compared to the bald ones, I find it quite a bit boring. And even then I can’t learn how to return it.

Ever tried minoxidil?
I never felt energized for even one day of my life when I had T. Just hairline recession and the sick compulsion to jizz a lot.

This isn't the thread for that. Everyone in this thread is well aware of the wide world of minoxidil. It also doesn't really work without proper suppression of androgens.
I think you fail to understand how individualized this problem is. I'm happy you've succeeded and have confidence in your hair. RU isn't the opposite of estradiol. They both need to be discussed as potential cures for this disease. Not everyone is as obsessed with T as you are.

@dani500, @hair228
I believe that HRT with estradiol injections is the most effective thing that can be for hair growth, because HRT provides two things necessary for growth: the absence of T and estradiol. This is the most powerful thing that can cause regrowth without minoxidil. At best, RU ensures the fulfillment of only the first condition, depriving receptors.
So I'm skeptical of claims that RU causes more growth without containing minoxidil or raising E. At best it is as effective as castration (Stopping baldness without regrowth), but I think a smaller percentage of balding people respond to it.
Because even HRT does not reverse miniaturization (even use minoxidil), it does at least stop hair loss. I'm afraid that if I spend time on RU my hair will deteriorate a lot and I'll have to maintain even more damaged follicles after going back to E.
