she didn't get that far. she tried supplements for a few months, then found info about how birth control can be androgenic :https://www.wdxcyber.com/ncontr132.html after switching from alesse, which had levonorgestrel, her hair improved to what it was 10 years before in her opinion. something...

@Georgie one more thought. My wife started rapidly losing her hair, and switched her birth control to one with a less androgenic progesterone (ortho low, her previous one was alesse)

Wow, sorry about your case, definitely a tough one

Yeah, and I'm trying to figure out why some see regrowth in 3 months, and it took him more than 6. Also, the amount he shed? Most people probably would have freaked out.

here's the success case that i was referring to: https://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/interact/threads/loss-and-regrowth-progress-pictures-treatment-timeline-and-details-shedding-health-effects.110986/#post-1603832 i was thinking you could see results in 3 months, but he would have been at his worst at...

oral minoxidil? i'll have to check that out. does the same as topical?

for now... hair loss makes it pretty much impossible to really be myself, if you know what i mean

Planning on starting Finasteride this month, possibly with a low dose of Dutasteride and/or Spironolactone. I started thinning about 8 years ago. Tried Minoxodil foam for a solid 2 years, but it was impossible to feel like i was applying it properly with long hair. So I quit. Then I realized...

wow, what was it like mentally losing more before gaining again? how did you stay patient?

@Georgie have you had your SBHG tested too? just curious if you had a production issue or availability issue

@AmericanHairlines90 have you had your sperm count tested? or any checks for osteoporosis? those would be my biggest concerns for you and they might not show up in a hormone panel. infertility is why i haven't started spironolactone yet (don't want to risk it) and it's fairly established that a lack...
