What's P4? Isn't estradiol just a bit weaker less aggressive option to estriol?
I tried oral minoxidil like 10 years ago, even at the smallest doses it made me super dizzy and nauseous. I couldn't go more then 2 days on that stuff.

I guess I should add there are 2 other variables here, but they seem like unlikely candidates to contribute to an early stage of gyno. When I started the estriol I was also starting a new batch of RU from alibaba, so that's something, and half of my daily RU doses are now coming from Kanes pre-made KB solution. But again, seems like unlikely contributors as I've been on RU at high doses forever.

I don't know how much oral minoxidil you took but remember that there are no absolutes since titration is our friend. The amounts that Rob Winter recommends to females are minuscule @ .25mg plus 25 mg of spironolactone. P4 is progesterone, usually Prometrium which can be used orally, rectally and in cream form like Biestro. For males, anything from .25 mg to 5 mg is recommended generally but many of us have used even 10 mg to 20 mg daily. @bridgeburn used 10mg ever other day. I have been at 12.5mg since October but recently halved that because it was bringing my beard back as laser removal never complete eradicates the beard and I was seeing more body hair regeneration than I wanted.
In terms of strength and binding ability, estradiol is much stronger than the other two and we have confirmation by many that E2, which is the scientific notation of estradiol can restore a full head of hair but some feminization has to be tolerated. I have posted pics of breast growth by MTF's in general and it is usually paltry and insignificant but....not for me or @bridegeburn. Both of us had outstanding breast growth from an MtF perspective. Rob Winter's has two or three oral min articles about both males and females and dosage. His knowledge of the field is amazing even though to me, massage is either too rough and can cause sheds or it takes too long(up to 40 minutes a day) but I tend to agree with every other thing that he says as he has encyclopedic knowledge.

If you want to learn more about hormonal means of hair regrowth and the differences, this is my thread:
This is the famous thread by @bridgeburn, where I also write a lot since he is off enjoying his new-found long and luscious locks:
Rob Winter's site is here and you have to remember the address because if you type perfect hair forever you get thousands and thousands of references to a cartoon that apparently has nothing to do with hair at all. Here is his article on HRT meds that inspired me:

On both of the hormonal threads on this site, we also take extensively about oral min since it is so powerful as to be up there with spironolactone, bica, duta, finasteride and estrogens in general.

I usually used Biestro and only used estriol alone when I couldn't get Biestro which was much less available five years ago on Amazon. Now their estradiol version seems to pop in and out of the marketplace on Amazon but that's preferred over the other two. Estriol might work better though with an AA but it is still likely to commence breast growth as is bica, spironolactone and CPA.

I just don't see how Estradiol would even be worth trying for me seeing how I only lasted about 7 days on Estriol.

I mean, I can't say since there is little research. MtF's virtually always use E2 or E1 which is estrone but estrone use is rare and mostly via metabolitic conversion in the liver. It's supposed to theoretically cause more breast growth which I doubt but still, you don't want that.

@ElToso when you used 1mg of estone, was that in pill form or some other mechanism? Curious if that's an option for me...

A man´s rule is to not touch opposite sex hormones lol.
Never do that just for hair loss, not worth it, too many (side) effects for a cis male. But sure, it will restore your hair like magic.
