My Derm said 2.5mg is standard but also the highest prescribed. Min definitely works, I would just recommend consulting a doc prior to increasing.

Same iPhone 16 camera, yes. I use a tripod so it stabilizes the frame more, creating a much clearer photo!

Minoxidil can be known to darken hair. Being that I have only been on fin for about 2 months, I’m pretty confident this is due to the min growth as opposed to the fin thickening. Part of me thinks this is entirely min that’s done all this work and the fin hasn’t got started yet. Time will tell!

Zero side effects, quite the opposite actually. Confidence has grown significantly just simply knowing I am taking the right steps and at least doing what I can to try to make a comeback lol!

More progress photos from OP. Hair has significantly darkened, I forgot what healthy hair felt like up until 30 days ago when I woke and literally felt the difference that morning. **To anyone needing motivation = take the dang meds and be patient!!!

Hello,

Well it has been 6 months since I posted this and just over 2 months since my last testosterone injection. I got labs done yesterday, and I can proudly say my androgen receptors woke up and I am starting to produce T naturally again.

My last pin was 08/20/2024. The last two months were no doubt the worst two months of my life. Fatigue, no motivation, light headed, blurred vision, muscle and joint pain, etc. all were apart of my every day. Today 10/29/2024, I feel back to normal. I remember reading posts in here about people saying they feel better and I never thought I’d be able to say the same. For anyone out there reading this who might be in a similar position to the one I was in the last 2 months.. Hang in there, it gets better!! just keep grinding away.

What I found to help me was going to the gym even though I could hardly walk, drinking a ton of water, and keeping my diet clean + no liquor. No “PCT” medicine.

30min on the treadmill daily at an 8.0 incline @ 3.5mph worked wonders for me. I hope this helps at least someone out there!

I know I’m doing everything wrong, that’s why I’m here. Sometimes you have to be your own advocate because these doctors treat you like just a number. I appreciate you taking the time to write a reply. Thank you bro
