Would bica be more beneficial for growth than spironolactone? Which would lower test more

I am not certain about this as both work similarly by occupying receptors and sort of tricking the body into thinking it has less T when actually more is circulating. Provera(brand name) which is medroxyprogesterone acetate is an AA of sorts that actually lowers T straightforwardly which makes interpreting testing easier. Some people get better results on bica and some on spironolactone.

In my experience, spironolactone needs to be used more gently and titrated because it can have pretty debilitating sides if used in excess. I used 100 mg and 200 mg and 300 mg and probably 50 mg was all that I should have taken but I was less aware of the concept of titration and shedding a couple of years ago. Some people prefer CPA which is sort of in between MPA and spironolactone in terms of how it works. It seems to block receptors and lower T but it is the most dangerous long-term and not approved for use in the U.S. Some people swear by it though and get it from offshore pharmacies.

Even if I get some results on Bicalutamide, I will try E as a temporary measure to improve my hair quality to adolescent levels. I don’t know if it’s worth it, but I have a purely scientific interest. In the meantime, we are waiting for July and August.

You are an adolescent so it shouldn't be hard to reach adolescent levels....

 

[JaneyElizabeth]

I would just drink 2-4mg E pills, sublingually, for a year or two. And then ditch it and continue with dutasteride/finasteride and 100mg Bicalutamide.

Take Resveratrol high doses 2months. Then test Aldosterone and DHEA-S again.

Isn't aldosterone an antagonist of spironolactone? Resveratrol is a phyto-estrogen, I believe.

Yes, Resveratrol recudes adrenal androgen precursors.

I really am not sure how spironolactone certainly works. From my knowledge it flushs put Aldosterone, it can be found then in the urine.

I'm talking about teenage hair. I once had thick and shiny hair ...

I can't remember having such hair.

I am thinking more and more that I will be in need of E.

My hair vanishes more and more. I hope I can get bica regrowth as much as DHTcel got lol.

I’ve been taking 50mg spironolactone for the last 2 months and haven’t noticed any side effects yet. I agree with you I think 200mg is way too much but someone I think his name was “americanhairline” on this website took 200mg with dutasteride and had amazing results it just took time. I’m going to get bloodwork done again soon and hound them for the results so I can update you guys.

 

[Swarleyd]

Yes AmericanHairline takes (took?) 200mg of spironolactone since he though that 100mg after one year wasn’t enough because of a shed

Hey, our warrior, how is the fight going on?

I thought about your latest posts... Maybe the rise of the liver enzyms raised due to Metformin + Bicalutamide combo. You mentioned the enzyms (smt about glucose?), which metabolize Met., raised!?

Might there be a co-relation?

 

[JaneyElizabeth]

Teen and adolescent are mostly synonyms.

Are you getting this from the Anarchist Cookbook for HRT?

I suggest standard boring HRT dosing while you guys are trying to reinvent the wheel and make it roll even better. I will continue to follow your experiments and experiences with interest.

Hi, I came and asked again, 3 months on spironolactone, gyno is the only change, because it hasn't been there before, is gyno a good sign for hair growth? How long will it take for me to see results at the 200mg spironolactone? , btw I am NW3 And the sebum on the face is still annoying

 

[Swarleyd]

You have to take finasteride and dutasteride when you’re on spironolactone since spironolactone obviously raises DHT levels without 5AR

 

[Pls_NW-1]

Look at all these vellus hairs, crying for rescue! >_<

 

[Swarleyd]

Do you have only frontal hair loss ? It is not that bad

The front is not that bad. But my vertex/crown/top is almost dead.
