I agree on going aggressive. If you are having suicidal thoughts, and if you are going to resort to hrt, you need to give it an honest chance. That's the whole point, we are so desperate that we will go to the last resort in order to feel comfortable in our bodies. That means facing hairloss with all the courage you've got.
And about the injections, it isn't as necessary as checking your levels... BUT it's an almost certain way of suppressing T. The way estrogen promotes hair regrowth/thickening is by suppressing androgens to female levels (chemical castration). I saw an online conference about a Spanish dermatologist who is using bicalutamide injections, and when explaining the theoretical benefits of ADH (androgen deprivation therapy) for hair, he says: "if a bald man had an
orchiectomy (castration), he would likely see a very drastic improvement, and in some lucky cases, a full recovery"; that's how powerful this treatment can be. It is objectively the only therapy that has real possibilities of curing baldness.
My message to you (
@dar3k ) is: don't lose hope before you've done everything you can; and ¡¡¡don't be pessimistic!!! if you are seeing a lot of mtf who fail at stoping baldness, it's probably because that's what you're looking for... If you search "hair regrowth" on reddit/transtimelines, there are some unbelievable results. The chances of you being a non responder or a hyper responder are equally low, you'll probably fall somewhere in between.
