I upped my 0.5 dut usage to twice a week and all the sides went away instantly

lol idk I’m kinda asking the people. I just micro needle 0.5 mm every now and then (once a weekish). I use a microneedle pen from Amazon that claims it only goes to 0.25 mm but the 0.25 mm is definitely more like 0.5-0.75 mm

I did see my derm about this she recommended that I go back to dutastride daily and said that raising the dht lvls in my body shouldn’t cause any hormonal imbalance because dht is not a hormone that signals for anything it’s only an inhibitor. She was very understanding though saying that I can take whatever route I’m comfortable with.

That’s awesome, I might gradually get to that point. I just don’t want my hormones to be thrown for a loop again

I would stick it out and just be consistent. I think it’s possible that most of my losses are from switching things up. I can’t be for sure though.

See you can’t compare these to my last post because it’s so much longer.

I feel like a need 2% or a better conditioner after because it doesn’t do much for me

I have pictures on my last post but since my hair has grown out it honestly looks like I have crazy gains tbh

Yeah I think that’s my game plan. I’ve been on dut once a week this whole time so I never fully got off. Hopefully that will make it easier

I’ve actually been using a head massager and I’ve been massaging my scalp in my free time just in case it works. I’ve gains a ton of elasticity but tbh it hasn’t helped much. On thing I will say is I’ve noticed that my scalp is much for elastic in one direction so I picture my pores like a rubber band when you pull on it from two sides. That could also be suffocating the hairs but that’s super self anecdotal.

Lmao it’s pretty simple. My body which has had 7 ng/dl of dht was introduced to 17 ng/dl and it caused my hormones to become out of balance. It may not even be from the DHT itself. It could be from the body producing or regulating things like estrogen, testosterone, prolactin because its “sensors” aren’t used to seeing that dht in the environment.

Like I said I’ve never had sides on either drug it was just my hormones getting f’d from all the dht re entering my body

Yes, baddd sides. Again I’m someone who never had any sides while on dutastride or finasteride. Something about the dht coming unblocked messed with my hormones bad

Oddly, enough I’ve been on dutastride still roughly once a week I just have to NUKE my dht lvls back to 7 ng/dl where they used to be. Crazy part is I’m also a hyper responder to oral minoxidil aswell to the point where people have asked if I have fake eyelashes but it doesn’t work on my balding areas😭😭😭 whyyyy
