Not sure if it was the spelling mistake that losingbattle88 was referring to i.e. Duasteride < is missing a letter 't' I always wanted a backup option if one DHT reducing drug didn't work, which is why I opted for finasteride 1mg as my first line of defence. If that starts to fail me then I...

Even if your theory was to be true i.e. " It’s not the DHT but the resulting calcification exasperated by DHT" Then taking a DHT inhibitor (e.g. finasteride) would still work to reduce said calcification. Finasteride does tend to either halt or stop hair loss, it certainly seems to have paused...

Meaning??

From you guys the that have been on both finasteride 1mg daily and oral minoxidil for at leat a year, does it further assist beyond finasteride 1mg daily? I'm happy with finasteride, as while I never gained any regrowth after losing a lot of density, it seems to have held my current hair for the past 8...

Not a problem champ. No, I purposely didn’t incorporate anything other than finasteride because these treatments are lifelong and a daily task ---There’s simply no way that I could commit to putting a product on my head once or twice a day for as long as I wanted to keep any regrowth. I’d...

In my mind it would appear to come down to how sensitive your follicles are to DHT and of course how much DHT you have at the follicular level. People like you and I with low serum DHT (not sure if it's low also at follicular level to be fair), most likely have follicles of which very sensitive...

GF tried to console me going bald, on the basis that F’ing Jason Statham looks better bald then with a full head of hair... FFS Neither myself nor the vast majority of men look as good as him when bald!! It’s like saying Kate Moss still looks good without a gigantic pair of tits. Yeah she’s a...

No sides (touch wood), no extra hair growth, just seem to be maintaining at baseline, but that’s better than it getting worse.

Will do mate! Although I don’t plan on having another DHT test unless my hair suddenly starts to get really bad or if I were to experience any concerning side effects.

Hi there My DHT blood test I gave here was done before I started taking finasteride. I’ve not had any blood tests since I started taking finasteride.

Yeah it's a total bummer, it frustrates me daily too. Sometimes on a good hair day I forget about it for that day, but those days are few and far between. At Medichecks I got the "Dihydrotestosterone" blood-test and also got the "Sports Hormone Check Plus (male)" blood-test package too. Wasn't...

Nope, I am based in the UK and I used Medichecks UK for my blood work.

You can for sure only try my man. I'm also 35, my balding has been occurring very very gradually for the past decade, but mainly so at the crown which I never really noticed until recent years when people would mention it if I was sitting or crouched. I really didn't believe them so that would...

You are correct, it appears that finasteride is not very effective if at all for me. I could possibly of stabilised. It's hard to tell as it's very gradual crown balding so the immediate hairline was not my issue and not seeing my crown too often makes assessing it quite difficult at times. Definitely...

My result = 0.66 nmol/L The "Normal Range" as per the label that did my tests = 0.34 - 2.06 nmol/L
