    Hi Illuminated the part of the hair you mention is the same part where I'm losing my hair so I can relate.

    Now I don't take DHT inhibitors of any kind, but if Dut has stopped your hairloss after a longer period of time than you basically won the battle early enough.
    Women can also get AA but it is usually around central parting. However yours it seems is apparently going towards the male pattern baldness route but with Dut you may have stopped it which actually makes a hair transplant a viable option.


    I mean since you still have hair there and density is still significant you might not need a lot grafts to achieve satisfying results. However if you do opt out for HT, it might be good for you to consult with a hair transplant doctor first. If you are in USA you might consider a doctor from IAHRS, you have a sub-forum with pictures from recommended surgeons.

    You can also consult with your doctor or a hair specialist if you want to use minox.
    There are some side effects to minox but I haven't heard of the one you mentioned, although there is increased shedding possible and for some it might not work.

    But as I said stopping hair loss is really good and it seems you already succeeded. Don't despair, thoroughly check your options.

    However you might still have good enough of density, and sometimes it could just be in your head, can't tell what your level of hair loss is and whether it is noticeable.

    But I urge you to consult with professionals in the field before taking any real significant steps .

    I agree with the poster above- you should see a dr. If your loss is the male type, the removing T/DHT should stop it like clockwork . There are well known studies that proved that. And adding E should give you a chance at regrowth.

    So you should really see a Dr to find out what kind of loss you have if you are sure you are still losing hair. Best of luck..

    Thanks you guys. I wanted to share this : http://www.baldingblog.com/2009/07/2...a-with-photos/

    If I had not interviened with my castration and hormonal transition this is the pattern I would probably have ended up with. I believe I am in the very early stages of this right now.

    What I'm saying is if this young man could reverse that much miniaturization with just 1 MG of finisteride when he was at a much later stage of miniaturization than I am, with all of the drastic changes I have made to my hormones and body there HAS to be some solid logic that my hair could recover almost completely as long as the hairs are still active and not fully miniaturized yet.

    With dut and/or chemical castration is is true there is like 99% chance you will experiance no more further minirurization due to androgenic alopecia ie DHT (but still hair may thin over time just due to age, stress, envirornemnt etc)

    But again there is no guarentee any miniturization will be reversed. If you are lucky, it will happen. It SHOULD happen for you in that frontal area, but it is not a certainity.

    Those miniturized hairs have experianced fibroses which is not easily reversed, things like AHK-CU (copper peptide) MAY help.

    Oh no are you serious??

    How likely do you think it is that I can reverse it??

    I don't understand why everyone kept telling me it would reverse if it's probably not even going to, I'm freaking out now.

    Dont fret! If the loss is recent ie the follicle is not dead then nuking DHT and T should bring them back...but again no guarentee.

    I know the ups and downs and uncertainty of hair loss treatments and I'm sure for you it is that feeling time 100....try your absolute best to have peace of mind knowing you are doign all you can. Seriously, the absolute worst case scenerio is you experiance no further loss, and you already have great hair! Plus there is no stigma or anything on woman wearing hair extensions, you could always get a hair transplant way down the line...there are many options.

    You will be fine in the end beleive me! focus your attention towards other things it is being wasted on this hair situation when you are already doing all you can

    Default too young for hair transplant?

    I know 22 is usually too young for a transplant, but might it be different in your situation because of you various "female' med. Not sure if it is something you can afford at this stage, but maybe a possibility.

    I admire what you are facing in life, these things are not easy, they are very scary without having to add appearances in the mix.

    I do however feel bad for people who feel suicidal about this stuff, particularly when they are young. I don't think that youth has the life skills to foresee the future and that when they are 30, 40 or 50, there outlook on lives will change, their circumstance may change, hey, maybe ever a cure will be found. the thing is that sucuide destroys those chances.

    All of these challenges you are having are typical young adult problems that are exponentially bigger because of having to deal with the gender issue.

    Be strong, fight this all head on and try to go about your business of being a lady, and you will imerge from this all with a very profound sense of confidence.

    Good luck
