Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

Tbh, I feel like it might be connected to lack of testosterone in tissues. SHBG binds to T much more aggressively and our hair needs T, because its a part of hair cycle.

Yeah I think some T is not that bad as some ppl(me included) thought as long as is in the femenine range. I think breaking balance of T also does something weird that makes DHT to rise I'm not kidding. Like highish SHBG and bica together must be fucked up cause I prob have very little T inside tissues. DHT started to increase when my SHBG also increased

 

[Adri23]

Yep, seems very likely.

I will first try to lower e2 to see if my SHBG gets lower. If that does not work after few months I will just entirely stop bica and risk even higher Minoxidil hypertrichosis. At the end of the day high DHT is worse than minoxidil hypertrichosis and if I lower DHT it might indirectly decrease hypertrichosis because hair will have less androgenic stimuli

 

[Adri23]

Also my skin is excessively dry to the point I am getting wrinkles no matter how much moisturizer I use, same for hair(obviously no wrinkles but excessive dryness). My hormone balance is broken af

No foy meant that YOU were talking about almas.

By the way, my name is Lana, not Foy, the forum doesn't let me change it.

"Unlike DHT, testosterone can play a role in stimulating hair growth, and a study has shown testosterone therapy has a beneficial effect on scalp hair growth in female patients treated for symptoms of androgen deficiency [3]."

It makes sense tbh. Hair is getting worse the more time I am on HRT thus the more time I have my T over superseded. Like I've been with high shbg for a whole year and bica for like 2y 5 months. All that with Free T of 1.6- 2.1 pg/ml last year and as low as 1.2 pg/ml to a maximum of 1.6 pg/ml this year. Ofc bica is prob suppressing the little amount of T I have.

 

[Adri23]

Yep, and that's also considering that Bica elevates free T levels, so the amount of T available for receptor is probably negligible.

Exactly!

Ima go sleep, GN.

Have a GN!

Most asians respond the best to treatments. You are a hyper responder to oral minoxidill even. You dont NEED HRT you chose it cause you are feminine. And damn you wrote a wall of text just cause of my comment. Triggered much chill xD.

This is a lie, and it comes from redneck stereotypes about Asians. There are no statistics to back it up
Minoxidil only works if you can fix the androgen problem, and in my case, HRT is the only way to do that. Yes, I got little hairs on minoxidil (like almost anyone else who takes it), but what does that matter if they fall out after I stop taking it and minoxidil doesn't improve the quality of my hair?
While people in the west think asians have good hair genetics, asians just wear hair systems lol

Im not gonna do sh*t anymore im so tired of this. I will just lower my estrogen, stop the custom DIY dutasteride and might stop bica. I am officially done Idc

You've been showing your hair recently and it looks good. If you go by the condition of your hair rather than the tests, how are things? Your DHT may be high, but estradiol has anti-androgen blocking properties, so maybe that won't hurt your hair?

Thing is my hair is getting bad again. Could be worse for sure but not as good as before. I am now tweaking things and pray for it to work

I do it, makes no diff at all

 

[foy]

I'm getting pimples again, my hair hurts to the point where I can't lay my head down, and every time I wake up I have morning erections and my boobs don't hurt at all. Seriously, does E2 work for you guys or am I the only idiot who doesn't get any of it? I'm starting to think I just have bad luck with everything.

 

[sg2000]

i dunno i think its doing something to me but even if it does anything its better than T whic in contrary damges me

 

[Adri23]

HRT is not better than a skin care routine for many people(myself included). There are some ppl that it doesnt even work on skin which sucks even more.

I have no changes, my skin has spots, hair has grown back on my face, I have erections, the few breasts I had have disappeared, my breasts do not hurt at all, it is not that I have any benefits, I have none, I am about to inject myself more now.
