I don't use it anymore and never will. I'm not sure if the regression was caused by cancelling the minoxidil, after cancelling everything was fine for 7-8 months and then regression started.
The regression started after the covid.
I want to stop CPA cause I'm suspecting it is giving me hair loss. Already read stories about some people losing hair caused by CPA.

I've already read a lot of opinions here that contradict each other, so I decided to drink everything and a lot. The only problem is that I can't get E2 injections, even the gel is nowhere to be bought, and it remains to drink pills that are not really digested.

You know if CPA doesn't help there's a good chance nothing will
That is not true. I have seen people who stops cpa and do Injections + dutasteride and recover hair.

Also my hair got significantly worse on CPA and I lost more hair in 4 months I've been taking cpa than in a whole year on dutasteride. This is just my personal experience. Each body reacts different.

Obvious you will read contradictory opinions. You should already know each body reacts different, what works for you may not work for me and vice versa. For example, people here takes bicalutamide without side effects, and for me, bica gives me bad heart side effects to the point I had to discontinue it to be alive. I just say if you keep losing hair on CPA, it might be just doing more harm than good, like in my case.

Yes exactly that!CPA is the best hairloss med
Sorry but no. CPA can still activate the AR when lack of androgens. That + prolactin + partial agonist makes that drug not so good specially for aggresive balding where everything matters. People who say CPA is the best drug should educate themselve first.

I can just give an example of what CPA did to my hair. First pic is 7 days before CPA(only dutasteride + oral minoxidil) and second pic is after 4 months cpa + E2 + dutasteride + oral minoxidil. Even tho is not the same position, u can see the change in texture and colour, which means miniaturization

The problem is that it is not clear how to check whether the products work or not, because my hair falls out in periods: the end of summer before the beginning of winter and the end of winter before the beginning of summer. And thin hair falls out. I do not think that cycles can change cardinally in 1 month.

Did you also use bica? Because bica + low dose cpa is much better than cpa alone. I know that cpa killed my hair because after 4 months, my hair is worse than ever, even DHT did less damage when I wasnt taking anything at all....

I am practically a Norwood 0 with terminal hair all over my hairline. The quality of the hair is still poor, but it is improving very slowly. I plan to stay on HRT for another 2 years: I think during this time the quality of the hair will improve, and I will achieve the ideal. After that, I will try fat-burning HRT cycles for the summer season. It will be difficult to implement, but I will definitely try, because I do not like the increased amount of fat mass.
Someday I will make my own thread on this legendary forum. I will do this after breast removal surgery and after testing HRT cycles, as this information is most valuable for those who are not transgender, but are forced to take HRT so that baldness does not ruin their lives.
