other androgen metabolites also lead to DHT, testosterone in dht is only 1 way and there are 2 more. Testosterone in dht passes through enzyme 5a. There are 2 more enzymes that form dht from androgens. In addition, 5a also forms other metabolites that are also needed hair.And it is inhibited by finasteride or dutasteride.

In addition to testosterone and DHT, there are other androgens that also affect alopecia. These are androstenediol and androstenedione, dihydroepiandrosterone, but also testosterone itself. Testosterone finasteride does not inhibit but increases, or dutasteride. Hair also undergoes its attack. Although the opinions on testosterone are contrary. FTM from testosterone injections immediately get a receding hairline. Inhibit dihydroepiandrosterone, it's the source.

it increases testosterone to heaven. I would not want to. It is clear that the receptors are blocked.

its a complicated subject, so the consensus has gotten updated throughout. Plus members have disagreements.
currently I believe taking bica, estradiol and dutasteride is the strongest anti-androgenic regimen.

You still take oral minoxidil as well right? I'm curious how much of your initial regrowth can be attributed to that vs hrt. Or more likely they have a synergistic effect with hrt allowing minoxidil to work unaffected by any androgenic activity.
If you still take minoxidil do you ever plan on trying to taper it off?

I take 1 pill every other day, usually.
I started with topical and took either 1x per day or 2x per day every other day.. I'm sure at the beginning it wasn't from just min caused i tried min a couple times before hrt.
yes exactly, I believe it is synergistic and that min is required for maximum regrowth
eventually I plan to gradually reduce. maybe at the 3 year mark..

Excuse the dried toothpaste in the sink -- this is how much i shed every morning, and it's growing back just fine, so if anyone is worrying about shedding, just don't worry, as long as it's not miniaturizing towards the roots.

what about darolutimide? I remember a few were trying daro after trying enza (all topically) because enza does something to the gaba receptor and gives panic attacks. daro supposedly has the same mechanism of action but with less effect on the brain. A year and a half ago the consensus was that daro was better, but i haven't been following to know the current
I shed 1/5 of what you shed, but it's not growing just fine.

Hey brother, you reassured me. thank you buddy. I always almost cry when I see this at home. but this is rare with me. it happens that not a single hair falls at all. it’s just that when the hair is long, it will grow new when falling in, but it is very short. and it seems that there are fewer of them, but in fact the opposite is true. there are many new ones, but they are still small and short.
