    Default Topical Progesterone used to combat male androgen alopecia

    Spiro is a better treatment than Progesterone for females, so I'm not going to touch that subject in this thread.

    Although this didn't do much for my hairline (twenty new terminal hairs), it did do quite a lot for my vertex area. However, I currently use it on both.

    Started January 2016 (.25% Progesterone). In September the amount was doubled to .5%.

    Currently I am using a topical formula that contains .5% Progesterone. In "theory", every .1% is equal to one milligram of medication.

    Left picture - January 2016.

    Right picture - September 2016

    Default Progesterone .25% used from January 2016 - March 2016

    My progress pictures. Have pictures of both the vertex and hairline. Took topical
    Progesterone after three months. The vertex is filling in.

    Currently taking twice the amount of Progesterone (.5% since September 2016).

    Do you apply the cream directly to the scalp only?

    Yes. Only on diffuse/or bald areas.

    Hey k9gatton. I'm looking to order from Susan (I've used her before) but I wanted to know how big is the bottle and how long does it last? I take it you need a script also. The uk currency is so low that if I got a minoxidil mix, topical progesterone, new year script,shipping and custom tax it costs more than belgravia in U.K. Which they have a 8% which has progesterone and caffeine in.

    I'm going for a check up tomo. Jazz was saying carry on with regaine liquid as I'm cing ok/good results and get progesterone from Susan.

    I also wanted to ask how it dries? Liquid regaine can some time leave my hair greasy (I have Afro Caribbean hair)

    Do u apply minoxidil then cream or other way around?

    It does dry and leave white powder around the scalp. My hair density is very good now. For that reason it really
    doesn't show (and I put it all over my forehead, and vertex as well).

    I supplement it with 5% Foam (regular Minoxidil).

    Hi k9 can you tell me why you do not use a lotion with minox and medroxyprogestorone in mixed from the pharmacy and also what strength of minox do you use and the progest strength as well?

    Using a higher Progesterone strength with thirty percent Minoxidil mixed in.


    Currently I just started to order from Regenere (Promox), which is cheaper and 15% Minoxidil solution.


    Both have .5% Progesterone. However, med wellness center (Murray Avenue) refuses to go higher than 0.5%.
    There website only goes up to .25%.


    So I will probably rescript my Regenere formula, if they turn out to be good. I will start getting 1% (doubled),
    which is ten milligrams of Progesterone.


    Nobody in the U.S. sells medroxyprogesterone, otherwise I would order it.
