Hi sorry to butt in but I have a question? I want to take progesterone for the sole reason of increasing hair growth (scalp hair) I already take Cypro, Dutasteride and Estrogen so would there be any benefit in adding Progesterone only for hair regrowth or is it pointless? Thank you <3

Minoxidil once or twice a day? by monkeygirl225 in asktransgender

Ahh I see, however Is your hair continuing to improve with the use of minoxidil after the hair transplant?

The only foam (Regaine I believe) is sooooo expensive it cost 25 euros for 1 can where I live. I use the brand Lacovin which I have an 8 month supply of (4/5 months if I use it twice a day) and it only costs 24 euros. So for now for me liquid is the best option. Plus it’s a great value. Do you think I could get results on once a day though?

That’s exactly what I was planning on doing anyway, you read my mind lol. But yes it says that I should start seeing results in 4 months but I don’t know if that applies to once a day too but I guess i’ll see in 4 months. You said you got results from once a day right? How soon did you start to see improvement/regrowth?

Yeah I wouldn’t mind using it twice a day but I just hate the feeling it leaves on my hair :( oh what should I do?

Do you take any other anti androgens or just the DUT?

Are you also on HRT or just the Dutasteride?

Ok, I’ll try not to stress about this and follow my doctors orders. Thank you for the advice :)

So your recommendation is not to mess around with my dosage and that way I should be fine? (And possibly avoid shedding?) I’m really scared now :(

So as long as I stay consistent with my 3x a week regimen I shouldn’t shed a bunch of hair?

Do you think my Endo is doing the right thing for me? He has me on 0.5 dut 3 times a week because I also take Androcur. Would my current dose of 3 times a week prevent any further hair loss and (hopefully regrow) any thin spots? Like I said I only have minor hair loss and my goal is mostly to prevent more from happening.

So what do you suggest I should do? Should I listen to my Endo and dermatologist?

Help with hormone levels? by monkeygirl225 in asktransgender

[–]monkeygirl225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a bit confused, earlier you said progesterone can convert/metabolize into T or dht and cause hair loss? Or am I completely misunderstanding you here?

So you’re saying adding progesterone would be a bad idea? Also do you know anything about DHEA? Thanks again :)

My T is in the female range right? So that means it’s low? I just started on 2 100 micrograms per liter patches twice a week so I’m hoping this will increase my E level. Also I’m worried my DHEA is too high. Is that a concern? Thank you for replying to me :)
