I’m on cypro 12.5mg, 2mg estradiol and 0.5 dutasteride. Do you guys think oral minoxidil should be added? I’m hoping i will get great regrowth with my regimen, but ymmv.

Don't do estradiol. You testicular function will never return to normal and in addition to that you will significantly feminise yourself.
Im pretty sure he/she is aware of the sides from taking estradiol. As for oral min, i think 5mg of oral min should always be in someones arsenal of weapons in tackling hair loss if you don't get any serious sides, which you shouldn't at that dosage.
that depends on how long you take estro.
I took Estradiol 2mg, for 2.5 months then dropped it. My nuts seem fine & my gyno disappeared.

MINOXIDIL IS NOT WORTH IT GUYS ITS A ILLUSION ITS TOTAL NONSENSE IN CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE CHECK OUT YOUTUBE NOT ONE LEGIT PERSON OUT THERE ...
Thanks for stating the obvious. It’s quite known that topical minoxidil is a sham with a low success rate (I don’t include maintenance; I don’t find that to be success with its claims of regrowing lost hairs). Paired with finasteride, it can be miraculous for some males, but expecting results similar to others is unrealistic due to our bodies responding differently.

False. I took it for more than 1 year, I've been off of it for a couple months and mine function as they did previous to taking estrogen. It "can" cause permanent infertility after many years of use, that doesn't mean it Will

ofcourse it's an illusion, male pattern baldness still progresses while you use minoxidil.

give it a year to see how much you can regrow before you add minoxidil, if there's any thin spots that are still struggling to recover then add minoxidil. that's what i would do anyways, prevents as much hair as possible from becoming minoxidil dependent

Have you checked your testosterone level?

I’m wondering if estradiol alone without Cypro can be beneficial to hair?

I've been removing things from my regimen, i cut Prometrium, Bicalutamide, Estradiol. I'm just on Dutasteride and Cyproterone Acetate Now Until i notice any kind of decline in hair density
@Ikarus Have you noticed it helping much?
My theory behind minoxidil working, especially for some and not all:

@Itsnoahkennedy So it seems like you've cut all stimulants and kept the inhibitors. Have you noticed a shift in side effects/body hormonal profile?

well my skin is producing oil again and I'm more sleepy than usual that's about it.
It’s theorised that it doesn’t work for some due to a lack of conversion to minoxidil sulfate. And, for some, it doesn’t work because using it alone or pairing it with 5AR inhibitors isn’t enough to support the initial shed, leading to potential worsening. It’s only been 1.5 months since adding oral minoxidil, so I can’t speak on it much yet.

What results did you get from those 2 months?
Gyno? Was it worth it?
I used some Estradiol topical on scalp today and I must say my short hair is less oily and ive had no itch today.
