Before (April 2016)
After (May 2018)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros
- No sexual or anti-androgenic sides like fin i.e erection/libido issues, thining the beard (allegedly), body comp changes
- no skin sides like minox i.e bloating/water retention, dark circles, wrinkles (allegedly)
- You can get it right now through private sources
Cons
- Expensive as ****. Seti is $11/day @ 2g/day and PGE2 is about 70 cents/day @ 1mg/day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Current Regimen
- 1g Setipiprant taken orally every 12hrs
- 1mg Prostaglandin E2 in 3ml of distilled water applied topically to scalp after very lightly microneedling session (goal is not wounding or to draw blood and should not be painful!). I usually do this every other day.

Thoughts
This has been a looong ride with a lot of tinkering and trial and error. I can say that
all of the growth is from pge2+microneedling. Seti is only for maintenance and a prerequisite for pge2 to work. For pge2 to work you must also microneedle before applying it.
I made a huge mistake in assuming that seti would be enough and all that was needed to get regrowth. I can not stress how important both are (Seti+pge2) and it makes sense since Allergan the company thats doing trials for seti is also doing
trials for bimatoprost a PGF2α agonist.
Im making really good gains still. The areas where I had hair but were thinning (my vertex area) are extremely thick now. im 100% satisfied for those areas.
As for my temples and crown where i had severe hairloss its filling in very nicely.
