so i've thought about getting a script as a sort of one-two punch. one, to save my thinning hair so it can still look cute. two, the side effects would be scary if they weren't basically just "ooops you transed yourself"
oh noes... what ever will i do if i grow boobies and my body hair thins
but seriously, some of the side effects (depression) I thought were maybe from cis men getting gender dysphoria but seems even transfemmes have experienced it. at least reading some reddit posts
anyone had experience with this? i'm hoping it can be a sort of gateway to everything else. dip my toes in the hormone adjustments
and minoxidil has never seemed to work for me. i know i won't get my hair line back but i'm cool with that.
so you are using a spray and not taking the oral medication?
Yep. All spray. Unfortunately the only national distributor I know of who carries the cocktail is HIMS. You might be able to consult a hair specialist clinic and see if you can get the same or similar cocktail locally.
When I was researching potential hairloss remedies and transplants, I did find some open online groups welcoming of trans folk who were all in all very supportive. I distinctly remember one person who had frontal loss and thinning, and the after photo was remarkable with how the techs were able to rebuild her hairline, while also lowering it - making it, for lack of a better term, convincing.
If you want to talk more specifics, feel free to DM me. Hair loss fucking sucks.
