OK so here's what's going on with me. With my PCP's agreement, I have cut my T dose in half (from 200mg IM every 2 wks to 100mg IM every 2 wks) and will eventually cut that to 50mg IM every 2 wks. Possibly going off altogether at which time my period will come back (ugh) and in which case I will DEFINITELY be having major cramps and such and she knows a few surgeons that will do hysto's just on that complaint and know the right codes for t-men to get hystos covered by their insurance. Then I wouldn't have to go on T at all. I don't plan to get my ovaries removed, btw. ETA - I had bloodwork done and my T levels were way too high so that's a possibility for my hair loss. Last year I had almost no hairloss and my T levels were normal.
I got my propecia (sp?) in the mail today, and am curious how I should cut them up. They're 5mg tablets. Rats, that reminds me, I need to buy a new pill cutter because I lost my last one. I've been doing rogaine via liquid up until last week when one of the cats made off with one of my droppers (and no, I don't think it's as poisonous to cats as the fanatics have claimed 'cause none of them have the slightest illness and I can't find the dropper ANYWHERE - I kept it behind the sink lip by the tap so it couldn't have been rolled off the counter). I ordered a new bottle and when it comes I'll keep the dropper in the same container as the "old toothbrush" holder (I have a sonicare now). So hopefully it won't be stolen again. But that means I'm almost 2 weeks off rogaine and I'm seriously annoyed. At least I remembered to take "before" pictures.
(This is before on the top, and this is the back (look behind me in the mirror, not at my face in the foreground)). So that's my starting point. I'm really really hoping I can regain some hair through rogain, propecia and going off T.
