Hey guys just wanted to share my results with cypro 6.25mg EOD, Estrogel ED, finasteride 1mg, and minoxidil once a day.
I believe these photos were taking in 2015 when I was contemplating getting finasteride. I had my college photo taken in this state and it felt so miserable.

I was 24 in the upper photo and started finasteride at 25 I'd post pics but there really wasn't much of a difference, the temples closed in slightly but the hairline stayed the same. Switched to dutasteride for a year and kept shedding until the year mark and my coworker even said my hair was thinning in the corners at that point. So I figured the boost of testosterone was my issue. Gave up on it.
Eventually I had a hair transplant by Dr. Diep and I must say I was unimpressed 12k for 1700 grafts. Yeah I could've gone to turkey but I was really concerned about some of the unethical doctors results I've seen out there. If you have fine hair like me you can expect the need to get more surgeries.
So now I'm onto the HRT treatment 2 months in.. using way less than most people have previously on this forum. I've been shedding but not losing any ground and I think the corners of my temples are starting to round off? But strangely you can still see some gaps in my transplanted areas but there's hair sprouting at the hairline. I hope my temples will round off!!
Here is 2 months in on my current HRT regime at age 30.

Side effects:
-I started at 12.5 mg cypro and an instance of vertigo and had headaches so I dropped the dosage to 6.25 mg
-For those familiar with the estrogel measuring stick I use 1.25 in the morning and 1.25 at night. Not sure of the estradiol content but I know ppl usually use a lot more.
-Libido has taken a hit but I can still get up. I don't really mind this because before I couldn't go a day without masturbating, also when I orgasm there's also little to no semen.
-Now here's the worst part for me, I can tell gyno is setting in, not as fast as when I was on bicalutemide but its there. I have gained a lot of upper body fat during this whole covid thing. So I'm hoping working out and playing with lower dosages will help even if the results come in slower.
