I think I’ve maintained/gained back some ground. Not the results I’d like to see, but you can definitely see baby hairs sprouting out all over my scalp on top but very baby thin hairs on temples and that’s my main area of focus along with forelock area. I was on finasteride prior to dutasteride for...

I asked my Derm about going up to 2.5 dutasteride and he basically gave me the finger. Sounds like I’ll just need to source the additional mg elsewhere. I should have clarified I’ve been using keto shampoo for about 2 years. I purchased a dr pen microneedler but just haven’t started on that journey...

A little over a year, added the oral minoxidil about 6 months ago.

Currently taking .5mg dutasteride and 10mg oral minoxidil daily. Trying to decide what to add to my regimen with going the hormonal route. It seems like Bica would be my next addition to minimize the chances of sides. However I have very high T levels in the 1200+ as well as a pituitary tumor...

Is this not the innernet? I tried googling and couldn’t confirm if I should skip a day and double the dose.

I’m currently taking .5mg of dutasteride and have been for about a year but have read 2.5mg is more effective. My doctor won’t increase the dosage due to off label use. Would it be effective to take it every couple of days at a higher dosage or anyway to increase my dosage without having a...

Getting tired of using topical minoxidil and I know you mentioned you’ve used it orally. If I’m using the liquid orally, how do I figure out dosage etc?

Yeah even if I could get back just the quality and shine that my hair used to have would be a vast improvement. I may consider doing the estrogel if the biestro doesn’t have an effect. Thank you so much for the informative reply as always :)

Hello, Current update, I’ve been on Dutasteride after managing to get a derm to hear me out about 4 months back, been noticing some light regrowth coming in and upped minoxidil to twice a day. However even with dutasteride my testosterone both total/available is still through the roof and...

Yeah as far as all my labs go, thyroid is all good, t3/t4 all good. I had really low ferritin levels(14) a few years back that I’ve been supplementing to bring back up which is at a 83 as of a few weeks ago. Through discovery a month ago through an MRI I do have a pituitary tumor that’s causing...

Okay thank you for clarifying estriol as I had found a thread on these forums stating that was the best as far as avoiding sides go. I’ve never had gyno in my life except when I was going through puberty and it lasted for only about 2 weeks which I think is pretty normal from what I’ve read. I...

Ah well that definitely makes things a lot easier when they are specialized in hair loss and can use it as a reason for being prescribed. The one thing I’m needing help on is determining which estrogen cream. So for sure estrogen and not estriol? Am I wanting bioidentical?

Thank you for your informative reply. I agree with your logic and actually feel myself do deal with androgenic sensitivity as proof of my super high testosterone levels and actual lesions that have appeared on my face which apparently are androgenic derived as I was afraid I had some sort of...

That sounds like an excellent plan. What would you do if you were someone like me that can’t present their situation to a regular doctor. Should I just resort to some estrogen cream from Amazon?

Thank you, that definitely makes a lot of sense! As far as estrogen cream goes, is there one that you can recommend? And you think estrogen over estriol?
