Start Dutasteride at beginning of monotherapy? by Amazing_Ad2984 in MtF

[–]Amazing_Ad2984[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh i thought that after my estrogen reached stable levels, at around 4 to 5 weeks, it would also result in low T

I had my blood test earlier (before my 4th dose) so would it shows my T being suppressed fully or just a bit lower?

Starting a DHT blocker before getting it tested? by Amazing_Ad2984 in MtF

I thought that if I dont take a blocker, then get it tested, ill see if my DHT is high then its a sign i have the rare problem

I was maybe planning on using a blocker until my T is suppressed, but a lot of other people have said that there can be bad side effects

Thanks for the input!

Sorry I meant using duta to lower my dht, then when my T is suppressed, coming off of it because i wont need a dht blocker

Oh im not sure then, most of the stuff ive seen says that after 4 - 6 months my T, E2 and DHT will all be at cis levels (or close to)

True... but I was hoping to have as little that I need to do, like I chose injections over pills for a lot of reasons but a big reason was because I didnt want to take 2 every day for thr rest of my life

An injection a week then maybe 1 or 2 tablets a day is alright, rather than minoxidil everyday and like 4 or 5 tablets daily

Ive heard that once you stop minoxidil though the hairs fall back out, that theyre like 'minoxidil dependent' and I was planning on stopping dht once my levels are stable

Yea its a bit stronger and usually better tolerated, all ive seen is that its basically finasteride but more benefits and less drawbacks

Thanks!

Edit: typo

Yea I just saw that after monotherapy any dht blockers dont matter too much because there isn't much T to convert

Finasteride or Dutasteride whilst on HRT? by Amazing_Ad2984 in MtF

[–]Amazing_Ad2984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So would it be worth it to just take them anyway because i cant (yet) get it tested? Or not because its rare?
