I'm a norwood 2 and I plan on man moding with HRT soon. I've heard total test suppression and estrogen work better for re growing hair than finasteride or dutasteride. Is this true in any of you guy's experience? Also will I need to use rogaine or should HRT be enough?
>>44644396the trans woman i know who regained the most hair did everything: hrt+fin+minoxidil+various supplementshard evidence for any of this stuff in trans women is difficult to come by, because we just don't get studied that much. in principle, minoxidil should add extra benefit on top of hrt while fin/duta shouldn't do much if your test is already suppressed, but biology is a complicated rube goldberg machine and things don't always work the way that you expect they should
holy shit how are you thinking of taking HRT before even trying fin,min, or dut.
>>44644483>fin/duta shouldn't do much if your test is already suppressedYeah I was gonna say what's the point of that. Adding a 5-AR inhibitor on top of HRT just sounds like adding extra potential side effects for no reason. Did the trans women explain why they used both?
Be honest are you really a 2? No bald spot on the back of head?
>>44644563no idea why an mtf would use finasteride, but if you're taking prog then you definitely need dutasteride to prevent prog from turning into dht
>>44644483>>44644563>fin/duta shouldn't do much if your test is already suppressedDht is a sneaky bastard and has a habit of backdoor pathwaying itself in multiple ways just to ruin your life.
>>44644546Curing MPB would make repping so much more valuable
>>44644546Probably just a repper looking for an excuse to troon out.
