    Got it, that explains why my scalp was itchier and I was shedding more on 4mg e. So are you saying 0.5mg dutasteride + 2mg e is more effective at fighting hair loss than 2.5mg dutasteride + 2mg e? Also, I tried nuking my T again with 12.5mg cypro everyday (on 2.5mg dutasteride + 2mg e) for a couple weeks, but noticed...

    Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

    Thank you for your response, this was really helpful. I should've mentioned, I first pulled the trigger on increasing e because I had switched brands of dutasteride, which caused an initial shed. I was using 2.5mg of dutasteride from alldaychemist, and switched to a different brand from a legit pharmacy...

    When I first tried using cypro after going off for a year I got a similar shed as the one I'm getting after upping e2 from 2mg to 4mg. My test was 740 with 2.5mg dutasteride and 2mg e everyday. Would that be causing the loss? I'm shedding a mixture of short and long hairs, which has never really...

    I increased my estradiol from 2mg to 4mg around 2 weeks ago and I'm seeing a 2x increase in shedding + my hair feels like its thinning. Has anyone had this happen before?

    If I raised my Estradiol from 2mg to 4mg everyday should I expect an initial increase in shedding?

    Is 740 test high considering I'm taking 2mg e and 2.5mg duta? When I start back on androcur, my shedding doubles. I'm considering doubling my estradiol to 4mg to lower T.

    I think I messed up...

    I would agree, I had the same in the past and still noticed thinning. However, I'm seeing even more aggressive thinning with the increase in shedding. I know my hair pretty well, when I was losing 1-3 hairs applying minoxidil I felt as though my hair loss had come to a halt. Now it's 10-20 and...

    I think I messed up...

    Yes, I went on it for around 4 days after not being on it for over a year. On day 2 I noticed a big increasing in shedding. I never shed long healthy hairs and tiny short hairs before but saw them coming out right after I started. Before the androcur I maybe shed 5-10 hairs max applying...

    I think I messed up...

    Around 7 years ago, I started noticing hair loss and began researching solutions. I eventually got a prescription for finasteride and took it over the course of a year but was still losing ground. Hair is one of the most important things to me so out of desperation I decided to go the nuclear route. It...

    Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

    Around 6 years ago, I decided to hop on androcur (12-25mg), 2.5mg dutasteride and estradiol (2mg) per day and saw pretty good regrowth. About a year ago, I decided I wanted to slowly taper off androcur and e to see if 2.5mg dutasteride could maintain my hair. About 3 months in to tapering off the drugs, I...
