This is from my reddit post, hope this helps.
Cypro is moderately safe short term, long term not so much. Over time it can cause brain tumors (meningioma, prolactinoma), overall elevates prolactine levels, depletes b12 in your body, can cause depression because it passes blood brain barrier etc.. You can keep using it with EEn for a month or two until levels stabilize, and than taper off slowly. but i'd honestly better stick to EEn mono or include Bicalutamide instead, cause it's relatively safer and more effective with good injection dose.
i dont want to worry about my hair anymore i dont plan tapering off meds i just want my hair forever

Finasteride can be omitted from HRT. I gave it up over a year ago. I only take Bicalutamide, but only to reduce the oiliness of my facial skin.

Your life, your choice=)
Imo bica is better because it only blocks testosterone receptor, so it can't bind to it, while cypro does similar thing but less effective and requires a pretty high dose to achieve this + it has progestogenic effect, which is responsible for reducing testosterone production by gonads. This progestogenic effect is very systemic and can interfere with many functions in the body, while decent dose of E basically dose the same with less sides.
In any case, i really recommend to track any headaches you get while on cypro. It's a first sign that either prolactine levels are too high or that a high dose of medication has reached blood brain barrier, or both. If this happens lower dose to 6,25 every other day or better cancel.
yeah i might sound reckless but i want the most effective thing for my hair and thats whhy i wouldnt try it .I domt know the exactly dose that doesnt rise T too much
And then im scared of any upregulation ive heard all types of sh*t.

Both. With low T and low E you won't be able to live, you'll feel terrible and you'll get osteoporosis.
I need hair i dont know what is the best thing to do for keeping my hair forever.
I think i need something else besides e2 for the sake of my hair

I'm not too sure if you actually need E in your regimen, but if you already made your choice, 5mg EEn/week and duta 0.5mg/day should be plenty for like 90% of ppl to stabilize their hair. Tho if you didn't use duta prior, loading dose of 1mg for the first month might be useful.
I need to stop miniaturization and get regrowth for my diffuse thinning cause its gross one way or another , im doing 0.4 mo every 2 weeks

you have to get back on androcur or switch to bica. the thought of having 740 testosterone is making me want to vomit. how is that even possible with estradiol?
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.

Is this trolling? I started with much worse hair condition and now I'm Norwood 0. You and I are the only people on the forum who were able to maintain Norwood 0, although we started going bald at an early age. All thanks to early treatment.

I wish it was trolling. You are lucky that you have been able to maintain NW0 for many years, but yeah I am with you that we are not bald now due to aggressive regimens, otherwise we would have been slick bald prob
