I'm sure that's not true. I myself have been taking dutasteride for years and have been pouring minoxidil with minimal results. It wasn't until I switched to ZGT that I got significant hair growth.
Choose your poison consciously!

It doesnt have to be poison to work.

I find bicalutamide 75-100mg not that much effective than RU. And maybe even less effective judging by itch and temple results.

ok but then surely stacking ru and e2 would be beneficial, rather than just disregarding e2 completely.... has anyone tried this with success? id love to know

You can try, but I found no use out of e2. Its all about androgen suppression for me. My best example is my sister who is diffusing like me at only 19y of age with female levels of e2. (I’m 24)

My mom is even worse. I have better quality hair than both of them because im suppressing my androgens adequately and they cope with natural stuff.
E2 will help with further androgen suppression alongside an antiandrogen. Obviously in case of a cis female she will not need e2 because she already have female levels and with AA she would further suppress her natural androgen production. All that said if one don't mind to get more androgynous/ feminine like me for example, low dose AA and higher dose E2 is safer long term for your liver and general health. All that with a 5AR inhibitor too ofc.

Thing is, if I want to beat balding to improve my looks or maintain it. Taking e2 makes me look pale,skinny fat,weak and outright ugly. And on top of that fertility question arises with almost no additional hair gains over standard treatments. Like noah I found RU and dutasteride to be enough to replace HRT. I hope for you all that you can find safe alternatives like me.
I just dont see myself using e2 for any extended period of time in any context anymore.
For me is just the opposite. HRT makes me look better, more cheeks and all that stuff. I haven't had any feminization yet, but I could take it. I guess you are not into the androgynous appearance, and that is totally understandable. Thing is if you have found your way to maintain your gains and you feel good with it, congrats!

Not many changes for now, just breast development and weight gain(which is pretty easy now lol). The weight gain is what most likely makes me look better since I was very skinny because my metabolism on T was pretty damn fast, and I also had high T. No changes in body hair(Could be because of oral minoxidil). About the mood, it changed the first month and a half, but now it came back to normal.

How injections equivalent to 2mg sublingual estradiol 3 times a day?
If it is estradiol enanthate(which is the one I'll buy) you have enough with 7.5-8 mg once a week. The half life is so long that you could use 15mg every other week if you are too scared of needles, because the half life is very long.

And what about estradiol valearet injection?

5-7mg every 5 days.
These are general data. I would say that E levels with the same drugs can be different and individual. You need to do tests to control, so for example my E level on the seventh day after injecting 10mg of EV =147pg/ml. Although in the experience of others, it should be higher.

Do you think 2 tablets of Diane 35 will be more powerful than 6 mg E?
Ethinylestradiol is very strong and I think yes, stronger than 6mg valerate and estradiol semihydrate. But at the same time the risk of side effects is much higher, I don't recommend taking it.

If you have the whole time around 140-200 pgml E2.. You'll get more feminization... A strong E2 or values around 600 pgml (= these are my values until April 2022) you get worst and sick (lost of libido, tired, belly fat, loss of T3,...)
