I must have gotten massive upregulation after using dutasteride and even finasteride cause both drugs made hair worse for me. Im much much more stable after dropping them. dutasteride 1.5 years ago and finasteride a few months ago.
Enanthate. I thought that my health would improve as soon as the T level increased, but this did not happen. I started reading information on the Internet and found out that it takes several weeks to feel better.
I feel like dutasteride improved my crown but my hairline thickness got worse, while my hairline got thicker almost immediately and regrew dead zones that I lost as a teenager when I was on the heavier dose of e for like 3 months. Now that I’m on a much lower dose my crown is still steadily improving to the point there’s very little visible thinness, but my hairline has stalled out
Yes
For me it nuked my crown. Crown is doing so much better without it.
i feel like that from dutasteride finasteride combo
For me, things are a little more serious. I sleep for 12 hours and still have difficulty getting out of bed, and after 5 hours I feel unbearably sleepy again. I feel extremely weak and cannot work. I hope this ends soon.
Now I'm worried about the changes on the T. I'm not sure if they will be good for my face... I'm afraid how people will react to the changes if I was socialized when I was already on HRT
Clown.
Why u care so much? Its who you were meant to be. Meant to look like. You were born male not a woman. Own your manly look and if they wonder what happened to your face just say you had low T issues before but now its normal again. Just make some excuse man.
Are you beautiful though? Do you have a cute gf/bf?
Well coincidentally I was looking over pictures of just before starting estradiol today. It's crazy how much worse my face looked personally. I think its really on a person to person basis. Its obvious that there are tons of men with normal testosterone levels that have great looking faces. I have no basis or desire to deny that fact. But this was simply not the case for me. The difference between then and now makes me seriously feel as though I have some sort of allergy to the testosterone that my body was naturally producing. I mean, I was literally balding at 15 years old. Just because I was 'meant to be that way' simply by way of being born male doesn't mean I should have to live with that pure self disgust and let myself rapidly degrade each year. Life is far from perfect on estrogen, I hate how I look most days, but the before and after is still shocking approaching 2 years on the drug. All my friends agree that I have had a major improvement in looks since starting estradiol. I only plan to get better as there is no other way for me to live.
Think of it this way: People change appearance all the time for a myriad of different reasons and normies have absolutely no comprehension of how hormones work. Those that see you every day will notice no difference unless they overanalyze a picture 6 months own the line. Those that see you once in awhile may think "something is different about Almas" but not be able to put their finger on what. Think about how many times you've seen someone and they've gained a massive amount of weight since you last saw them. People are conditioned to that degree of change, so hormone differentials really won't throw the average person off unless you decide to express yourself drastically different.
My DHT was also quite high at zero T. Any ways to block the backdoor of DHT synthesis?
