Bridge, good to see you (and more importantly your hair) are doing well.
How long were you on HRT overall and how long have you been off of it? Any chance we can get some pics? In relation to your sperm (lol), are you trying to have kids or something? Is that your main motivation for...
The best thing anyone trapped on this godforsaken hellhole of a website can do is log off permanently. It is not good for your mental health, especially not for the many people on here that are already inclined towards mental illness
Yeah I believe these devices are called phototrichograms but for your average person comparing photographs is unfortunately probably the best way to do it. At least comparing photos is more accurate than counting shed hairs or just going by vibes
If you have a freckle or birth mark near your...
spironolactone is no longer in vogue any more among trans women partly because it seems like it might stunt breast growth, though this might be a positive effect for many people on here
Its effects mineralocorticoid receptors also seems to have benefits for hair growth
Still, I would personally avoid...
Your temples are still very good. Honestly better than mine after a full year of treatment. I wouldn't worry about your temples. The top of your head is worse, but I've always heard anecdotally that that area is easier to regrow than temples.
Side effects are very rare, usually mild if they happen at all, usually will go away after a few months if they happen at all, and will stop after cessation of the drug in virtually every case
I think the verdict is still out on whether PFS is real, but even if it is it's going to be impossible...
I wouldn't say that it always leads to gyno but they're definitely very frequently correlated
There's different degrees of gyno. Some people will get puffy nipples with a little tiny glandular growth, some people get small, strangely shaped breasts and some people get big ol honkin mommy milkers
Yes hrt can "permanently" feminize you. If you stop hrt and start megadosing androgens you'll re-masculinize but you'll have lingering effects from HRT. Obviously gyno which has to be surgically removed once it progresses past a certain point. But there will also be long-term effects in terms of...
if you're really afraid of balidng take some finasteride as a preventative measure to keep your hair for the rest of your life but it'll still be years before it becomes a problem
work on your confidence and self-esteem. Can't help you much on that but trust me, there's nothing wrong with you...
@Trompt for your own mental health please leave this website. Your hair is really really nice. There's nothing wrong with your hair. Also on your other thread you said that you thought you're ugly - you're not. You're actually really good looking and I think the long hair looks good on you. The...
I'd think the two potential dangers would be liver damage and completely throwing off your HPG axis. You can get regular liver enzyme tests to check up on your liver. But on the second point, you're going to be completely reconfiguring your endocrine system so it is possible that you will be...
What's your reasoning bicalutamide benefiting penile function? The higher levels of testosterone from upregulation? But that shouldn't aid penile function because the higher levels of T will still be blocked from binding to ARs, right? Or am I missing something here
A lot of people actually do...
Really looks pretty healthy imo. It does look like what most people call a "mature" hairline in that it has recessed somewhat from a prepubescent hairline.
If your forehead is significantly larger now (proportionally to your face and head) than it was before puberty, that would be clear evidence...
