I just have to remember that I am not ruining my life I will be if I don’t start I cannot bald at all anymore I will effortmax then realize I can only go so far but be happier than I would be if I became a fat bald man. I think I can start laser in the summer provided I can save enough. Its kind of insanely required for me to ever start not manmoding unfortunately full beards aren’t exactly androgenous.

    I cannot bald at all anymore

    Real. I probably started too late to see any meaningful change (I’m 28 years old), but even this simple fact was enough relief for me

      Yeah I’m 25 and I am hoping I’m not too old. I haven’t had noticable thinning on the back but for sure in the front receding+thinning. It’s more significant as of super recent probably due to really a whole lot of stress but I can’t expect any of it to come back I can only hope.

        You’d be surprised how much is still there, but ‘hidden’. Even before HRT i tried some basic hair treatment with Minoxidil and in just a few months I could see some thin hair growing back. I have been Norwood 2 for approx 2 years and now I’m closer to 1.5-1.

        I still think I will need hair transplant cuz I have the ‘M’ hairline shaped, but atleast its not as bad as I was dooming about it

          I get you I’m just trying to be realistic. I already am on minoxidil. I’m planning on taking HRT then seeing about trying to get fin/dut if I need it.

            Realistic as in not expecting things and just hoping for anything to happen. If I just stop losing I will already be happy. If I get any regrowth that will be great
