Fleezy's journey from bald to not bald (finasteride plus minoxidil)

[Rojogato]

If you are prone to being bald just accept it

 

[Fleezy]

lol this guy..

 

[Fleezy]

week 24


no changes made to regimen


as you can see, beard is quite thick


if you want a beard, oral minoxidil is the way.


i dont have beard genetics in my family, but now have a solid beard

 

[Fleezy]

once im done dieting down (in about a month), i am going to drop my test dose even further... about another 20-25% from where it is right now - after the last drop


should help reduce my DHT even further and facilitate the reversal of the miniaturization of the follicles.


and with this current gear debacle going on right now, it should help my stash stretch further.


i am also going to add cialis back in once i get off the DNP in a month. i feel like the DNP may be stymying my progress in this area.

Thanks for sharing this journey.

@Fleezy question for you, are you still taking the same dosages that you posted on this thread?

Just curious, i know that you kept bumping the oral mix up.

I said F it and committed myself last month to give a go for at least year, albeit, my protocol is lighter at the moment, dura x 3 a week + 2.5 oral mix daily.

I am currently taking

1mg finasteride/day
15.5mg minoxidil/day

.5mg dutasteride m/w/f

 

[Cinder]

I don't wanna hijack your post but I had a question that maybe you can answer.

Should I take duta with it?

I'm gonna start oral minoxidil at just the minimum of 2.5 grams a day for awhile to see what happens. I was thinking about a low dose of duta twice a week only.
I'm not shedding nor do I think ill ever do a cycle again. I plan on just being on true trt or slightly above indefinitely.
I only have temple hairloss but nothing crazy like Vegeta (dragon ball z) lol.
I just wanted to see if my temples can come back a little.

 

[Fleezy]

Sounds good

 

[JUICEDUP3]

Sounds good

You may have mentioned this already, but what has been the most effective thing you've done? I know it's probably a combination of everything, but curious if there is one thing that stands out?

hard to say


finasteride puts out the forest fire


oral minoxidil regrows the forest

can't have one without the other

 

[Fleezy]

Yesterday makes week 25

Almost at the 6th month mark




Might up my OM dose to 18mg

We shall see

 

[Sully1234]

Are you getting any sides from these?

 

[Fleezy]

i was getting some water retention/lower leg edema from the OM the first couple months.. now, nothing.

As far as Minoxidil being a blood pressure med, has this effected your blood pressure much? I may have missed if you are adjusting dose of any prior blood pressure med.

2nd question, did you ever order you hip abduction stretch device for doing straddle splits?

I haven’t really gotten low blood pressure as a side effect from the OM

IIRC, OM isn’t really a reliable medication for this purpose

And yes, I ordered the splits machine

 

[UnholyAlliance]

Nice progress so in due time you'll get to rock a ponytail lol.

 

[Fleezy]

upped the dose to 18mg per day lmao



chick ran her fingers through my hair last night at work saying how much she liked it... definitely need to keep growing it back

 

[Fleezy]

also ordered legit dutasteride from ULO, and i'll be taking .5mg per day

apparently, dut needs to be formulated in a specific way in order to be sufficiently bioavailable.

powder formulations don't cut it.



soooooo, the nuclear option has been activated. i imagine this will yield substantial results over the next several months.




stay tuned

Have you seen any eyebrow growth with the oral minox?

My eyebrows have gotten kinda thin. Was wondering if I could grow them without using topical minox.

haven't really been paying attention to my eyebrows


but basically anywhere you grow hair, you will grow more, and it will be thicker.

OM will improve your eyebrows
