I recall you saying that bica doesn't work. Is it working now?
I never said bica didn't work. I just suggested that it's potentially counterproductive if used without hrt or a 5ari since, on its own, you'd be dramatically increasing T whilst blocking androgen receptors. Meaning that there's a lot more T that can't go anywhere except to be converted leading to an increase in DHT which has a much much higher affinity for the receptors than bica does.

Anyone here have success with bica as monotherapy? If so, how long before you saw a reduction in shedding?
In my and many other cases of baldness, which began at an early age, he did nothing. It was like I didn't do anything. Although it reduced the oiliness of the skin and improved its quality, so I will take it anyway

Currently I use estradiol injections every 5 days (my E2 lvl usually sits somewhere between 200-400 during trough), 25mg daily bica (was 50 at one point, but I've reduced it to 25 for about 8 months or so), finasteride 5 days a week alternating with dutasteride for 2 days a week, and 2x daily minoxidil on temples (at night using in conjunction with .025% tretinoin).
Is there any particular reason that you are using 5 days finasteride and 2 days dutasteride?? How do you do duta days back to back?I use them both too but i would like to know your opinion!

As I mentioned, I gained fat mass on HRT and I don't know what role E plays in this and what role poor nutrition plays.
I eat in a calorie deficit and have measured different parts of my body. In July I will repeat the measurements. Let's see if I can lose weight on HRT and if the result is acceptable
A calorie surplus on HRT is a huge mistake. If you eat wisely, I think you can not change the physique significantly.

The more time passes, the more I talk about the fact that I will have to use HRT for the rest of my life. It is difficult to say for sure, in order to answer all the questions, a lifetime experiment is needed, which I put on myself.

It's not exactly 2x a week. Essentially I do 2 back to back days of finasteride then 1 day dutasteride. And keep repeating. No real rhyme or reason tho

I'm out of Bicalutamide and I'm too lazy to cut Finasteride tablets so I haven't done anything in a week lol. And more and more I doubt that anything other than injections plays a role in my regimen.

Calorie restriction on T “restriction”= no fat,no muscle
Calorie surplus on T restriction = muscle loss,fat redistribution but no additional fat if lucky
There is no winning combo to that, you cant look male if T is not present
The first option suits me. I'm not looking to increase muscle mass. But in general, estrogen does not interfere with a moderate increase in it: both transgender and cis women can gain muscle. I only think about the relief and dryness of the body
The difference between us is that I don't aspire to be masculine.

Yeah, good luck with that.
After some time its not about indentifying as man its about looking like one.

Only way I can see E2 in any regimen is bica + e2 just for lowering giga-high T levels from time to time. But you have to be very precise with dosing to not overdo it, to not crash T production. Since bica mono does not feminise IMO. ( you be the judge)

That sh*t don’t work topically, hardly ever orally. Experimentality has talked about the pharmacology of why. You need to increase your oral minoxidil dose for one, and secondly if you are already on bica then the only thing you can do to improve things is E2. Sorry bro

Got gyno glands out,liver enzymes are normal,ecg is normal so I guess oral min (5mg) is not doing any damage afaik. Only bilirubin had elevated value, ive researched a little and its most likely connected with cyproterone I took before surgery to lower suspicious 1000-1500ng/dl T levels. All nurses insisted (and surgeon) I have perfect hair and told me to stop finasteride (didnt mention bica or dutasteride because they even consider finasteride a poison), oblivous to how it even works for hairloss.
Funny thing, my surgeon is also urologist and PFS believer saying he had patients come to him for that reason lol. All in all I do recommend going with general anesthesia if price is negligible difference to local like it was for me. 2060euros in total, dr maletić.

Blood tests - after surgery - before
I wish you a nice recovery!How was the whole procedure is it painful after???Also what drugs did you kept using during surgery (hairloss drugs and psychiatric drugs!)?? Now you can take whatever you want knowing that glands are gone! that would be the best feeling in the world!

Can’t take whatever you want if you care about virility and fertility. Also some said the glands can still grow some after surgery, but don’t know how true that is.

I am very athletic with low body fat 8-10% my gyno is not visible despite all that stuff i am taking but i can feel it and it is kind of painful to touch!!Glands can't come back if you remove all of them the only thing that could happen is fat redistribution on the chest area i guess!!

I am just saying that just because Dani had his glands removed doesn’t mean that he can go full HRT without consequences. Pretty sure he doesn’t want to destroy his balls any time soon.

For you, why don’t you try 2.5mg dutasteride? It reduces scalp DHT by 85%. Something to think about before going full HRT

Hey guys,

I have a problem. I decided to upgrade my regimen of .25mg CPA, 6mg E and .5 Duta with 10mg Oral minoxidil. I ordered from Alldaychemist but they're facing delivery issues to my country the netherlands. Other thai pharmacies don't ship to the netherlands anymore. Is there someone who knows another way to order oral minoxidil online or someone who can help me ship oral minoxidl from their country to mine? Much much appreciated.
