Topical Progesterone used to combat male androgen alopecia

[k9gatton]

Hello,

So the deal is to add 0.5% progesterone in minox ?

Let me give you a better answer than before.

It depends on how long the hair loss has occurred. If it just recently started, you should
start with known medications first. Such as Finasteride, and Minoxidil Foam (I always recommend Foam,
because you won't have scalp irritation and dandruff).

If that isn't working, and your hairloss is agressive, Progesterone is the next step.

For agressive hair loss, (dropping a few norwoods in a matter of years), go STRAIGHT to Progesterone. Just
skip taking Finasteride, possibly. And get the HIGHEST Progesterone dosage possible.

Remember, every .1% topical is equal to one milligrams, in tablet form. That's the general rule
with this medications.

Since it's almost Summer here, in the U.S., I'm going to take pictures with better lighting, as people
have requested me to do that.

Everybody is different. My experience was a norwood 4 to a Norwood 3. It took time though. Doubled the dose in september 2016. Best decision I made.

Hello k9gatton, just one question, where to buy your progesterone? Can you PM me the link? I wanna try.

[k9gatton]

Hi k9 can you tell me why you do not use a lotion with minox and medroxyprogestorone in mixed from the pharmacy and also what strength of minox do you use and the progest strength as well?

Using a higher Progesterone strength with thirty percent Minoxidil mixed in.


Currently I just started to order from Regenere (Promox), which is cheaper and 15% Minoxidil solution.


Both have .5% Progesterone. However, med wellness center (Murray Avenue) refuses to go higher than 0.5%.
There website only goes up to .25%.


So I will probably rescript my Regenere formula, if they turn out to be good. I will start getting 1% (doubled),
which is ten milligrams of Progesterone.


Nobody in the U.S. sells medroxyprogesterone, otherwise I would order it.

What are the side effects? Progesterone is a potent 5 alpha reductase inhibitor, I would assume it would have similar side effects as finasteride, currently using minoxidil and ketocanozole with no negative effects, I've also heard of feeling excessively sleepy, any of you guys experience that?

It is very potent. Probably the same as Finasteride. Man boobs, and other side effects.

So far my regrowth has been great. That's the only side effect for me.

[k9gatton]

That is true. Finasteride is only one milligram. It is five times higher.

Medical Wellness Center. Online script. You only pay if you're approved. https://www.medicalwellnesscenter.com/

i've been looking into this too actually and have been looking into review sites for online scripts. Any opinion about this http://phrmreviews.com/r/trustedonli...fast-shipping/

[Smallville]

It is five milligrams

5mg is a very low dose of progesterone...

[k9gatton]

It is five milligrams

For me, I really don't trust anything without a doctor's script.

It might be pure, but it might not. Everything I take is prescribed by a doctor. It's illegal in the
U.S. to not give an equivalent medication for a doctor's script.

Have u ever tried using progesterone topically but NOT on the scalp? or always on the scalp?

Also, just to clarify, .5% is 50mg, progesterone, right? so you use 50mg progesterone per night on scalp?

This looks like a great result in your case. Congrats. I'm keen to try anything new on my bald crown at this stage. But I wonder if its an outlier result and most guys wont benefit as per the results of this study

Is there any way to get it without a prescription?

August 2013 hair - Notice how bad it was

Didn't start Progesterone until January 2015.

However, I got my dosage DOUBLED to .5 % in September 2016.

This is my hair, at it's worst. I was between a Norwood four/five.

Progesterone saved my hair. It really did. It did more for me than Propecia (Finasteride)
ever did.

Thanks to Progesterone, I'll probably go to a Norwood 2.5 this summer.
