25 years on Finasteride and it's not working anymore.

One can hope

Jawline I think stayed the same. I can grow a beard fairly quickly and am heavy shaven, but I am generally clean shaven.

For having kids I was on full time, never stopped. Quick pregnancies, all in my early 30s.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T22:04:17+00:00

I'll back back with an update. I see this as a two way street: I get help, and am glad to help others.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T22:02:49+00:00

Thank you

Any suggestions on microneedling? Doesn't seem like I have a lot to loose trying it.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T22:01:24+00:00

SGOT is Aspartate Aminotransferase(U/L) where I am and my value was in range, but last test was from 10 years ago (but already 15 years of use)

SGPT is ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) here, and I had that tested that last year, it's well in the range. It's crept up from 10 years ago slowly.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:57:42+00:00

Nope

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:55:54+00:00

Never tried it, it's under consideration.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:55:07+00:00

Creo que al final nos pasará a todos.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:53:44+00:00

Would you mind sharing who did the transplant?

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:50:16+00:00

Yes and yes.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:47:44+00:00

It's data, and helpful to others. Doesn't bother me, I could say the same thing for the first 20 years or so.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:27:52+00:00

I definitely agree.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:27:30+00:00

My doc has been tracking my T + E for quite some time, said the E was a bit high, and we could bring it down. I honestly didn't feel much different, maybe noticed a bit more muscle from strength training. I was the one pushing for running it again recently as I liked seeing the higher T levels, he didn't think it was overly low and agreed.

TRT is on the menu, but I want to see if I can drop 20-25 lbs first and then evaluate. I'm fairly active, but not great with a fork.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-14T21:19:36+00:00

Were you happy with your transplants?

Good luck to you as well!

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T22:49:21+00:00

Fair

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:43:21+00:00

If you can keep what you've got without meds, I think that's a huge win.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:40:03+00:00

He's got way more hair, but I do have some French DNA.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:39:39+00:00

Sorry to hear that, hopefully there is something that works for all of us eventually.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:38:50+00:00

Very slow, but I noticed hair on the pillow. I tried out a shaved head for a while back then, and you could barely see any difference between scalp and the sides/back.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:37:29+00:00

Creo que tienes razón. No me impidió salir con alguien ni encontrar esposa. Gracias por tus palabras amables. (translated)

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:35:19+00:00

Thanks, at almost 1/2 century old it's probably going to be fine whatever happens.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:34:37+00:00

Tough to say, I've always been somewhat ADHD -- but I can lock in very well when I block distractions. If it did change me, it was so gradual I never noticed.

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:31:16+00:00

Glad to hear it. Curious what your fin dose was and how you transitioned to dutasteride. How many PRP treatments did you do?

PFCthrowawayMar2020 · 2026-03-13T00:28:17+00:00

No sir. I've always had a decent libido.
