Here I will publish my results on 25 mg spironolactone.

Progesterone is non feminzing? If so I may end up getting it (could you tell me where you get it from?).

Start with a dosage of 25 mg, one hour before bed. It shouldn't feminize you, but it may increase your endogenous estradiol levels because testosterone won't be able to pass through 5-alpha reductase, which will be occupied by progesterone. Testosterone will slightly aromatize into estradiol as it passes through aromatase. It's best to get a testosterone and estradiol test done before starting treatment so you can monitor your testosterone and estradiol levels after two weeks of progesterone use.

Would spironolactone gel be more efficient than progesterone gel?
And what is your current stack?

I use 1 mg estradiol gel + 0.5 mg sublingual estrofem. Progesterone should be used in courses because the receptors become accustomed. Sleep becomes shallow and superficial. If you have access to spironolactone cream, you can try it. Share your results.

When used alone, estradiol is more effective than when used with progesterone. It is involved in hair cell division, which allows hair to grow faster and new vellus hair to sprout.

To restore hair in the androgenic frontal zone, a constant hormonal level of 50-100 pg of estradiol in the blood is sufficient. Gels or patches can provide consistent levels throughout the day and evening. Finasteride is unlikely to raise estradiol levels to such levels. Hair grows only with estradiol in the blood.Finasteride will not make your hair grow in the frontal androgen zone!

You need a stable estradiol level of 50-100 pg; sublingual tablets cause sharp spikes in estradiol levels in the blood. I would recommend gels, and if possible, estradiol patches.

If gel, where do you apply it and how much?

If gel, where do you apply it and how much?

Apply the gel to the skin of the shoulders, forearms, and arms, shaving first, except for the hands. You can shave your thighs first if you have hair. Be sure to alternate application sites. Apply in the morning! I do this as soon as I wake up! This helps ensure I have a supply of estradiol in my blood for the day!

 

[Yar]

If gel, where do you apply it and how much?

If it's Estrogel, then two sprays from the dispenser contain 1.5 mg of estradiol in gel. This gives a level of approximately 70-80 pg. Apply a thin layer to the skin over an area the size of two palms. Two sprays of Estrogel spread a thin layer over an area the size of two palms.

Estradiol works wonders! DHT blockers are ineffective!

Alfatradiol is used topically and could be cheaper.

Alfatradiol is used topically and could be cheaper.

''In the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, the action mechanism of 17α-estradiol is to suppress 5α-reductase activity, which impedes the conversion of testosterone to the more potent metabolite DHT5,22,23. In addition, it inhibits 17β-dehydrogenase activity, resulting in a slowing of the conversion process of androstenedione to testosterone. As a result, there is a reduction in the syntheses of testosterone and DHT6. On the other hand, by stimulating aromatase, the conversion of testosterone to estradiol is accelerated, hence, testosterone is reduced. It thus acts to ultimately reduce DHT7. In addition, it has been reported to accelerate the generation of hair follicular matrix cells8.

The 0.025% Ell-Cranell® alpha solution has been used for the past 30 years in Europe and in South America. There were several reports about the therapeutic effects of 17α-estradiol in European population. In a controlled, randomized double-blind study, 63% of the treated patients with 17α-estradiol showed a reduction of the amount of telogen hairs, whereas in the control group the same reduction was found in only 37% of the cases23. Wozel et al.22 reported that 17α-estradiol increases and maintains the rate of anagen hair in 88% of the treated patients. When compared with minoxidil 17α-estradiol showed relatively lower efficacy compared to minoxidil in hair density and thickness5.'' https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3412238/#sec34

What DHT blockers did you try?

I tried finasteride. Unfortunately, after a week of taking it, it caused lower back pain. This, as it turns out, is one of finasteride's side effects, as it inhibits 5-alpha reductase. Because of this, progesterone can't pass through 5-alpha reductase and be converted into allopregnenolone, which calms nerve endings.

 

[Yar]

What DHT blockers did you try?

Well, I'm not satisfied with the results finasteride users get. The person in the photo took finasteride for 1 year, and I'd say the results are zero!1 photo before taking finasteride, 2 photos after 1 year of taking finasteride

To achieve excellent restoration in the frontal androgen zone, a good blood estradiol concentration is needed: 50-100 pg, possibly 150 pg. Hair grows only with estradiol and is degraded by testosterone. Even if finasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the amount of testosterone converted to estradiol through aromatization will be insignificant for hair restoration in the frontal androgen zone.
