In fact, Ein is the only one who got the result on Bicalutamide. Everyone else either didn't get it, or used doses above 100mg, or added E

He is a mysterious case. Lol. You can tell by his hairline that his aromatization genes are IMPRESSIVE, despite of the aggressive male pattern baldness (early onset).

To be honest, I am beginning to lean towards the idea that Bicalutamide alone will not help me. Because Ein has unusual baldness, and he did not help everyone else who has baldness like mine. I will wait until autumn and think about adding E to me, or increasing the dose of Bicalutamide. Ideally, I should try 75mg first, then 150mg, and then think about estrogen. The fact is that testing will take another 1 year, and my patience is running out. I'll try to keep myself together

Test your T levels in 1-2 months.
Adjust the dosage af bica to your T levels.

Give it another 3 months time.

If you are not happy, add 2mg E2.

And if you still dont get your desired result, take 5mg Minoxidil.

 

[Almas]

Bica is honestly safer

Mine is 719 pmol/L...

Holy, thats much! With only 2mg... and bica.

Query: I've been taking Bicalutamide (with 4mg e) for the past 3 months and I've notice no change at with my hair. I'm about to run out and considering going back to CPA? Have I given Bica enough time? or do I stick with it for a further 3 months.

Previously I've been on CPA + duta + minoxidil for a year or so, on this I managed to recover hair crown and fill temples with a ton of pigmented vellus hairs. But everything stopped growing, so I switched to Bica. And it's stayed the same - vellus temples stuck not growing, not falling either, weird.

You still alive?

If I want to add estradiol, I will add 1.5mg E from Estrogel, which is two clicks, as I understand it. Do you think this will work?
I'm going to apply it to my forearms, not my scalp

@bridgeburn used it the first couple months for his estrogen intake and saw very good results. There is very little science and research backing it but I do believe it has a localized effect on the scalp. Its hard to see the vellus hairs in regular lighting but the ones that have grown in the last 5 weeks are in places I have not had hair since I was like 13 so something is happening....

Not really. Flutamide is a STRONG anti androgen at the right dose for your body. It is oral RU or bicalutamide. My e was a 30pg/ml the entire period I took Flutamide. My T was well off the charts as was my DHT.

What dose did you use, why are you not using it now? I am using 50mg Bicalutamide

 

[Nimos0651]

At first I thought about pills, but then I came to the conclusion that the gel is more convenient and cheaper. I also consulted with MTF, they told me that the gel is better. But I don't remember why anymore, lol

I think it is better because it has a longer half life and allows you to have consistent E2 levels where if you take it orally through a pill there are moments that it spikes your E2 levels. I really do believe that it has a localized effect. Lets see what happens at the 6 month mark.

I really dont see any evidence why the regimen i started a month ago will not grow hair. I am using a low dose of spironolactone, low dose of E 5mg oral minoxidil and finasteride. All of my research over the last couple years indicates that this is bound to re-grow hair, the only thing that might need to change is the dosage.

 

[Almas]

currently I believe taking bica, estradiol and dutasteride is the strongest anti-androgenic regimen

 

[Pls_NW-1]

Bica+duta is already anti androgenic. But if you really want no androgens then E will solve that. But we want actually androgens... mh

 

[Derelict]

I still haven't fully recovered from the letrozole shed from march last year, i have no idea what to do to recover from it other than estradiol. It completely decimated my hair the two months i was on it at 2.5mg. Very stupid of me to take it instead of trying something like ralox instead, live and learn i guess.

 

[Swarleyd]

Pls-Nw1, why are you praising bicalutamide and you’re not in it yet ? Just asking, no offense

In some countries, it cannot be obtained without a doctor's prescription. I think sooner or later he will accept him because he needs him

You will get some gains for sure.

I take 0.75mg Oestrogel 17b-estradiol once per day. it's half life is 36 hours, so 1 dose of 0.75mg will last for 72 hours in the body. 72 divided by 24 hours = 3 days. 3 divided by 0.75 = 2.25mg estradiol per day after building up in the blood.

i hope i did that right lol

One press of estrogel, if I understand correctly. I wonder if this gives a result. I would not want to reduce T very much and raise E to female values

I would like to hear a bit of your hair story and what you did.

And where you able to recover fully before the big shed?!
