What do you think guys about 50mg bica + very low dose CPA like 5mg? + finasteride/dutasteride of course
Might not be a bad plan. Depends. Some people will probably respond well. Others might not since CPA could potentially limit the amount of estradiol that is supposed to increase from bica (on average it doubles E2 levels). But those doses are pretty reasonable imo.

Yea, but this way you can avoid gyno

I wouldn't necessarily bet on that. Both drugs cause gyno. You have to also keep in mind that gyno often precedes any major hair growth.
Risk of gyno with androcur monotherapy is very low.

With Bicalutamide chances of gyno are much higher mainly because of estrogen increase i think.

It is lower with CPA but still quite possible. Especially if you use both drugs. AnxiousAndy used CPA monotherapy and still got gyno, but he did say it was fairly mild. But don't think you'll avoid it altogether. However, the biggest problem with CPA is risking your HPTA axis

Which part? The HPTA axis? Basically CPA can prevent you from having normal sex hormones ever again, so you need to prepare yourself for that. Obviously it can make you infertile. On the other hand, Bica is an NSAA and in almost all cases your hormone production will continue to function normally

Doesn't Bica end up making you more sensitive to androgens in the long term?

Keepcoolmybabies, I believe is on 4mg E2?
Thank you.
I had a problem to figure out who's "KCMB".
Keepcoolmybabies ;)

She has injections.. I don't get injections.

I only can have from my doctor estradiol gel, finasterid, dutasterid and cyproterone

I am pretty sure Janey was using several mg of E2 gel on the scrotum as well as the scalp

Now I'm thinking about giving E a couple more months and then stopping HRT until the fall. See if I can lose weight with great success on T and how much bald I will be in that time
Perhaps, if it were not for a calorie surplus, I would not have changed the physique and would have continued. My Temporary Eating Disorder Made Me Make Mistakes And Losing Fat On Estrogen Can Be Problematic
It will also be useful in order to compare the rate of baldness with the rate of recovery and to imagine whether cycles of HRT are feasible.
Having given up E, I will again increase the dose of Bica to 50mg / day to keep the oiliness of the skin at a low level.

I think I'll give HRT for another month, and then stop until the fall to reduce fat mass if I can't do it on estrogen. So I will be on HRT for 10 months.
I want to note that my progress continues and I see a trend towards lengthening and thickening of miniature hair along the Norwood 0 line.
The most interesting thing will be to see how quickly I will go bald without estradiol.
If during the time on T I do not significantly lose hair, while restoring the percentage of fat, I can consider that the HRT cycles are working. This will be a crushing victory over baldness. I am positive.
Upd:
Decided to stop right now, I missed my injection. I expect my hormones to be low throughout the month and I may feel weak.
I stayed on HRT for 8 months, as I originally planned. I didn't recover, but I improved. Let's see what will happen next.
I'll give it a test in about a month and a half.

@dani500 some days I feel very tired and i need to take a nap or sleep a lot in general I have the same regimen as you ! Do you have extreme tiredness?? what do you do in that case? Also I think dutasteride is poisoning me I have a lot of side effects from it :( very very weak, zero motivation to do anything it sucks all my energy it overwhelms me completely.Dutasteride for me has the worst side effects I can ever imagine just poison :( :(
You need to raise your dutasteride dose to 2.5mg. dutasteride made me thanos I can lift cars now. Amazing drug.
