Upregulation prob, it only happened after i got on daily bicalutamide. Thing is the upregulation never went away, I'm waiting for my december blood test to confirm my dht is really lower
What I dont understand is that it seems that most ppl get watery semen to some extent from finasteride or dutasteride. But on 2.5mg dutasteride my semen was unchanged or even thicker hmmm.

@Adri23
Is 25 mg bica eod enough to block my AR ? I'm still hairy on 4 mg estradiol bro wtf ?
Most likely yes. When I was taking 25 mg of bica EOD I had less hair on my body and even on my beard. Now that i stopped it for a month already, I am getting hairy again.

There is a study that shows it. https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(21)02738-9/fulltext

''All patients commenced bicalutamide at a dose of 10 mg. The mean dose of bicalutamide that reduced hypertrichosis was 14.4 mg (SD, 5.25 mg). The use of concurrent bicalutamide permitted an increase in the mean daily dose of minoxidil to 2.2 mg (SD, 1.67 mg) without development of hypertrichosis.''

''Oral bicalutamide appears to be beneficial in mitigating hypertrichosis caused by minoxidil in FPHL patients. Daily bicalutamide (mean dose, 14.4 mg) both reduced hypertrichosis and permitted an increase in the mean dosing of minoxidil by 0.7 mg/day without further hypertrichosis.''



As you can see per studies 14.4 mg is enough to reduce the hypertrichosis, so 25 mg EOD would be 100 mg a week and 14.4 mg ED is 100.8 mg a week so as you cant really take 14.4 mg the best bet is to use 25 mg EOD, which due to bica's half life it will be very similar than taking 14.4 mg ED.

That is what I did, the fact that I tried everything makes me less anxious of going bald

Same here. At least I tried the standard hairloss treatments, high dose dutasteride with high dose oral min and it didnt do JACK sh*t. So I feel hrt wouldnt be much better for me. Also I reached my limit with hairloss treatments. finasteride has already given me permanent weak ejaculation from a big shooter. Hrt would mess me up permanently 100%. I wouldnt mentally handle growing tits or see my male body change in any way. I feel male and love the male body so much that I wanna lick a man all over with my tongue.

Yeah I think it wouldn't be worth for you, the bad stuff outweights the benefits in your case, if you want to remain flat chested you rly shouldn't touch estradiol, since it will alter your nipple shape and you will start to accumulate fat on chest area 100%. It is not even a possible side effect, it is one of the very few stuff guaranted with hrt, even if you take meds like raloxifen you won't prevent chest grow 100%
