    can progesterone on its own regrow hair wthout anti androgens such as RU or fina duta?

    are the effects comparable with the above anti androgens?

    It is potent, that's very true. And I currently take twice the highest dosage they prescribe (which is .25%, I take .5%).


    The side effects are man boobs (haven't got those).


    Progesterone is also used to help people with brain damage, believe it or not. It protects the brain.


    It's been so helpful in regrowing my hair. Also, my hair regrowth where I apply the thirty percent
    Minoxidil grows twice the rate as my non DHT resistant hair (sides and back). It's growing really long
    now.


    There are more side effects with the high Minoxidil dosage. I've had ankle swelling due to lower blood pressure.
    That can be very dangerous.


    If I took Finasteride in my thirties, I wouldn't be taking such an aggressive regiman now.


    Minoxidil is temprorary. Trust me, I should know.


    If you don't take Finasteride, or some other anti DHT inhibitor, your results will slowly go away,
    and you will be near the same point you were. I took Minoxidil for over twenty years now.

    this is what you use right? if not could you sedn me a pic. i just renewed my script with her.



    Yes, that's what I use. Got some resistance initially when I doubled the dosage.


    I'm surprised she does that with other customers. I've been using her since 2012. It's equivalent to five
    milligrams of Progesterone.


    I want to go higher. I'm going to ask for one percent when I get a refill. Doubt they do it, but it's really helped
    me regrow my hair.


    Even my temple hair. I've regrown more than a centimeter. Problem is, not all of it will grow back. It's been in the
    vellus/dead state for far too long.

    You can put it on your head. Believe me goldnt, I'm going to show you the pictures today.

    Progesterone has grown so much of my hair back

    Judge for yourself though. Don't just take my word for it.

    Default 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.

    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.
