Hi
I'm not sure how well received this entry might be, please try not to jump to conclusions.
I guess that the feminising effects of some of the treatments for resisting hair loss will be undesirable to just about every guy on this site, in my case those feminising effects are exactly what I was hoping for, nothing to do with regrowing hair.
I dont want it to become an issue here but to briefly explain I'm someone that has a condition called gender dysphoria which is the overwhelming sense of self identity of being female, its got nothing to do with transvestism whatsoever, so please dont get into that.
As part of the process of transition with the NHS I was given various medications to take, most notably Oestrogen which took me through a second puberty this time developing the secondary sexual characteristics of a female.
I was also given Finasteride to block the effects of the testosterone I was still producing at that time, the reasoning being that the Oestrogen might be more effective that way.
Later, after observation of hormone levels in my blood, I was given another drug, a subcutaneous implant called Goserelin. I believe its normally used against cancer and works by over stimulating the pituitary gland and down regulating the production of testosterone. So I now have the hormonal state of a natal female, (I can almost hear some of you shrieking with disgust but I hope not, it feels entirely natural to me, finally).
Next summer the two dangly things that produce testosterone should be gone forever along with all the other bits I dont need (I can definitely hear you all shrieking now) and I can then have female hormone levels forever.
What I've noticed is that my hair (long gone) has unexpectedly started to regrow, obviously thats what most middle aged late onset transsexuals pray for but I didnt believe there was much chance.
So I started using Regaine extra strength and that seems to have pushed growth along even further.
At the start I was a definite Norwood 7 with no more than ten strands of hair on top, (think Monty Burns from the Simpsons).
Nine months later I am filling in fairly uniformly in the shape of a Norwood 3 but obviously at too low a density as yet, perhaps about 25% of what I need. The current appearance is a kind of cloudy look if thats any help.
Is it remotely possible that I might recover sufficient density given female hormone levels and no need to fight the dreaded T?
If I could I could then fill in the front bit with transplants.
Recently I've noticed hairs at about 40 to 50mm length shedding which doesnt look promising but I'm wondering if each growth cycle might elongate in time, like reversing the behaviour of how the hairs successively miniaturise throughout the MPB process?
I chose the username Chanceinamillion for a reason, It was either that or Clutchinatstraws.
Any useful responses?

. I love the fact that I am a man. However I would prefer being a man with hair
