Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

[Almas_NW0]

I'm Asian, my father has Norwood 0 at almost 60, my mother has no baldness, my grandfather has Norwood 1 at 70, none of my ancestors had early baldness.
Meanwhile, I: went bald at 16. My cousin is not going bald.

Genes are a very random thing. When I was 16 and the doctors told me I had Androgenetic Alopecia, I couldn't believe them because I didn't believe that baldness could happen at such an early age, especially if you are Asian. I felt like the unluckiest person on earth. I was depressed in a way I had never been depressed in my life.

My issue is reflex hyperandro and yes it’s real.. back story im 41 now hair loss runs on my moms side.. at 21 I seen just the slightest and I mean slightest bit of temple loss.. freaked out got on finasteride this is 2005 so 20 years ago.. probably week 2 my sex drive went wayyyyyy up to the point if I didn’t jack off I couldn’t be normal and just tons of hair coming out hairline getting fucked and able to see into the scalp plus never ever will I forget being in the bath and seeing upper arm hair coming in and is still there now .. I kept going for some months then stopped went to the Doctor got on dutasteride but I was young and stupid so some days I’d take 3 dutasteride a day plus lasers.. over the past years I’ve tried finasteride dutasteride min oral min lasers ru58841 blah blah nothing has ever regrew or stopped sh*t.. so questions for the smart ppl on here is reflex hyperandro and permant thing?? Here we are 20 years later and my for the last 4 months it’s now .5 finasteride 3 times a week, oral min 5mg a day, scalp massager 30 min a day a really good one, topical min mixed with tren melatonin,and gonna add keto.. so far no results still shedding atleast 80 a day.. but this time around not getting the sex drive or itchy scalp so question is could I be safe from reflex this time around now that I’m 41 and talking it much lower dose or is reflex gonna happen no matter what???

it happened to me too, lost tons of hair even on the sides and back of my head. Im now using duta everyday and shedding still pretty bad but i dont have the other symptons like you

Duta is a drug I regret ever taking. Killed hairs permanently. It spikes your T too much that a guy at work thought I was on steroids. Stay far away my friend ur better off just using finasteride. But if ur already on estradiol its ok to use dutasteride.

So random but if it does happen and even on dutasteride why aren’t we just stopping ??

Also how much hair do you shed a day even a guess and look at the shed hairs are they much thinner at the root??

Guys for all of you that are on HRT, can you share your estradiol, shbg and dht(in case you have this one tested)?

 

[Adri23]

Btw my Free T tanked even more after I killed my testicles. Went from 0,21 ng/dL to 0,12 ng/dl. All my androgen issues are coming from DHT, I am a mutant

It used to be over 180. Im working on it

Are you seeing good feminization and hair benefits with such high shbg? Like your estradiol is not that high but your SHBG is so high. Your free e2 is 1.36% which is considered kinda low

How did you lower it?

 

[Gergely]

How did you lower it?

Less frequent injections, quit cypro and taking boron glycinate currently

I'm gonna test in about 5 days. Unfortunately, I'm still in Russia, so no free DHT, but I'll do serum one.
This is from month earlier.

Metformin is also known to increase SHBG. You might want to quit that

Nice. I used boron chelate for last 2 weeks, 400mg/d. We'll see how it goes.

Holy fck your free e2 is very low. It's ~1.24% but if you're doing fine as Gergely then it's fine. I have 1.75% e2 yet I feel like e2 is water. Had everything better including hair when my free e2 was between 2 and 2.11%

Yep, I found out recenly too. No sure for now, I kinda feel good on it, guess I'm gonna act based on tests.
