This is what I am doing. I started with a minimum and will increase as needed. I know that the basis of treatment should be Bicalutamide in a dose of at least 50 mg in combination with finasteride / Duta. Further, either an increase in the dosage of Bick, or estradiol. Either of these two options will end baldness.
finasteride/duta: for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Extreme fatigue, weakness, i.e. lack of strength, couldn't open the peanut butter jar, excessive sweating. I had a huge shed which is ultimately benevolent but going slower and titrating might have prevented that plus it is synthetic and while slightly easier on the liver than bica and cpa, it is still something you don't want to be on forever as MtF's often take meds for decades. Your situation might differ. I started on 100mg and quickly went to 200 mg and at times 300 mg so I was taking a lot.
A person has to have a dominant hormone, either E2 or T or bone loss will occur rapidly as well as some other not so great stuff. That's why people after SRS have to take estrogen. At least for eunuchs, AA's appear not to regrow hair without estrogen supplementation so I still have my doubts that AA's single shot are a path for anyone.
Wow. I didn't know you treated patients but maybe see Transfeminine Sciences on reddit and some of my writings about the history of HRT and the refusal by practitioners to prescribe enough estrogen due to liver worries. If possible, no one wants to hehave synthetic meds churning through their liver for decades as is common for MtF's.
The MtF state is a mental state not a physical one. As Tato says, prostate cancer folks get these meds and they are not transformed into MtF.
Q
Yes! I already have some appointments ready with the endocrinologist... corona is just delaying appointments soo much oof
We will all follow you and continue to help regardless of your decision.I'm starting to develop a silver dollar on top with a big radius of VERY thin hairs. Not mentioning about the intense loss of density...
I really don't know how to reverse it as of now.
This sounds like an extreme regimen:
finasteride 1mg
50mg bica
2mg e2
5mg minoxidil
Personally, I would cut of the last 2 and add them after 1-2 years, if I continue balding/thinning.
Thank you!
This isn't over for him in terms of having to have surgery. Most of us were far past that level who have had full recoveries.
Hopefully... my dad started with the same pattern with as me and was with 25 a full NW7 with thick sides and back lol.
YES!!! THATS RIGHT I dont want to touch E2. Really...
BDD? Well if you are asexual then you don't need to worry about libido effects. Learn everything you can about androgyny and classical Greek standards of beauty. Being beautiful is its own reward and people treat me so much better now as Janey compared to my formerly sullen alter ego, whom I still love. No dead names for me.
It's strange because estrogen and T have almost identical chemical forms and without AA's, I notice no strength diminution at all from E2.
Not that I have a right to know but I am still confused as to how you identify with that cute feminine avatar.
I never had any libido to start off lol.
