Yeah lol better safe than sorry

Usually PG+Ethanol since it's cheaper. I used KB once but it irritated my scalp so I switched back. I order 5-7 at once and just store them in the drawer, it's an alcohol solution so it doesn't really go bad. By the way, is actifolic quality?

Good to know, I haven't really been following the hairloss scene in 5 years or so, so I'm not up to date. I'll check them out

anageninc.com Sometimes there are issues with shipping as they ship from the US, but it's not a big deal. Once they even resent it from the UK when I requested.

Once, I use the 5% solution and use about 1.5 ml daily total, uniformly distributed on hairline and vertex

It just came away on its own. I think I might have been using it on my face as well for beard growth so I stopped. Lol I could never get used to it, I’m quite stubborn

>Have you had any issues with water retention? Hmm only in the first year of using minoxidil I'd say.

Yes I am. As for my T, it was quite average around 500-600 ng/dl when I measured it.

Thanks for responding! Just wanted to correct you a little bit for the record: the darker hair color and decent thickness is actually my baseline from 2016. The towhead was actually from abruptly stopping minoxidil in May 2017, which made me shed like crazy. Attached photo illustrates it...

Ok attaching more pics. Overall I'd say I've more or less maintained and the initial hair loss was likely from minoxidil withdrawal. Also I can finally grow some facial hair. ;)

I'll try to post some more objective photos when my hair is freshly washed (I just applied minoxidil so it's wet) but yeah basically I'd say I'm somewhere around the 2016 levels. I think what made me make the initial post was mostly the shedding from abruptly stopping minoxidil in 2017. I...

9 year update - still have my hair. :) On RU and minoxidil since like 2019.

Yeah, I didn't have many if any side effects at 40 pg/ml of estradiol in blood. I went to a doctor to check for gyno since I was paranoid but they found nothing. MAYBE my face was a little puffier than usual, but I was also bulking and my weight increased so that could have very well been unrelated.

It's estradiol benzoate. It did elevate my systemic estradiol levels but not to such extreme; I just checked the previous pages of the thread when I was describing it and it was 40 pg/ml. The substance I took to counter this was indole-3-carbinol and it worked; after a month my estrogen levels...

No I actually meant Alpicort E, but yea the main active ingredient is the estradiol which is quite powerful. The systemic absorption is not that big, I had no gyno or anything, but my estradiol levels were elevated. They fell down by a mile after I started taking herbal estrogen blockers though.
