3 months after HT #3

 

 

 

Donor farming areas (especially above left ear) coming in a bit slower than everything else it seems. Crown is beginning to look better than it has in a long time, slowly but surely. This is not with a maximizing haircut, either. I'll either go to a barber next week to fade down the rear donor area or do it myself. 

My frontal presentation has not been this strong since I was in my early teens. Starting to enjoy it more and more.

Additionally, I'll share an update on my dutasteride use: I started taking dutasteride 0.5 mg twice a week shortly after my 3rd HT back in March, so I've been on it for about 2 months now. That is in addition to finasteride M/W/F. Over the past month I've felt libido sharpy decline to almost nothing, which is certainly out of the norm, along with my cum being very transparent. So, I've decided to stop dutasteride for now to see if things return more to normal and to determine whether it's the dutasteride that is the culprit. I did not experience anywhere near this degree of effect from finasteride alone. They aren't unbearable side effects by any means, but I also just feel sluggish and low-energy and it's no fun. So, will see, and will report back.

Sometimes it can take time for body to adjust. It's possible excess free test aromatising into estrogen that's giving you sides. Sometimes staying on it for more time can help body adjust.

Have you tried topical dut? That could have more efficacy and less sides. Mwamba's clinic prescribes it I think. Maybe you can consider switching to it from topical fin. You could also try an anti androgen as adjunct therapy if you are open to it.

Are you on oral min? Otherwise I would try that. LLLT is also an option if you want to throw in the kitchen sink.

From where you've come from, hair looks great.

No, haven't tried topical. Topical will ultimately be too annoying to constantly apply when I grow my hair longer, as I plan to. No oral min. No interest in it, just using topical minoxidil daily as always on areas of new growth needed. Will keep options open but that's just where I am for now. Maybe will try dutasteride again once a week and go from there. Thanks!

It’s looking good man!

Some comparison pics of 3rd HT vs. current status and where to expect the growth to come in...

This is looking really good @general-etwan. Hard to believe that you are only three months post op also. Great stuff! 👌💯

I'm really looking forward to the 6 and 9 month marks.

Dude, absolutely magnificent results. You put in the work and never gave up and it’s paid off. You deserve this.
