The thing is that people would believe you if you had either references or even an explanation as to what differs in an 18 year old versus a 40 year old. It seemed to be on tressless that a lot of young guys were going on finasteride right after turning 18.
of course but thats not what almas stated.
You could be right in that someone beginning to bald at say 15 years old has a runaway hair loss condition that finasteride is not strong enough to counter-act.
Pay attention to those sitting in this thread. Those who were not helped by Finasteride and Dutasteride fall into this thread. And who do we see here? Me - started to go bald at 16. Bridgeburn - too. Ikarus is also 14-16. Ein - 16-17. DHTcel - 15. I can go on forever.
Me; 13 years old, maybe even earlier :/
I worry that you are getting yourself into a situation of paralysis psychologically. Maybe it is the pot calling the kettle black but I don't know. Bica should help with compulsion and estrogen certainly does. First you were so incredibly up and certain that bica would work and now you seem to be resigned to it not working and your needing breast surgery. You might not grow anything but handfuls, if that. Bica is all but certain to stop your hair loss I think. My quibble was that it might not grow hair back but you have barely lost any hair yet.
I think about HRT for three reasons:
How long since you started bica?
50mg - 21 january
All males in my family have DUPA, meaning of that even donor 'safe' zone is thinning. NW7 is the hair condition by the age of early 20's - mid 20's, all in my family history have.
Have you thought about taking an intermediate step of something like dutasteride + oral minoxidil before going to the next level?
I seriously want to avoid Minoxidil, and yeah, if I won't start Bicalutamide, I will do Dutasteride. But if i DO start bica, I will continue with finasteride. If I will still be unable to achieve some results, I will put in some O MNX into the mix.
