Just realized the other day that it's gotten a lot worse. Not bald, but thinned on the crown to the point where the skin is very visible compared to the rest of my head. Then I took a picture this morning when my hair was still wet from the shower and it looked really awful even beyond the crown...

If I were a guy I could probably make peace with it, but I feel like I'm gonna need all the help I can get to appear feminine and this is so obviously not helping.

I'm getting blood work tomorrow to evaluate how my HRT is going which may shed some light on the situation particularly with T levels, but idk if they'll test for DHT. I ran out of finasteride like a week ago and stupidly didn't refill my prescription until just now, but the extent of my hair loss suggests it's not just from that. Might see if dutasteride will take me where I need to go, plus maybe some microneedling

Basically shit sucks and I hate it

Once my balding got really bad and before I got my hair transplant, I used to think about my hair every. single. day.

Wears on you to see your own hair fall out in a way nothing else does. And people don't understand how little comfort "you look good without hair is." Sure, I appreciate that you think I look good like this, but the person I see when I look in the mirror isn't me.

Shit does suck, but sounds like this isn't just regular balding and you're being proactive so I think you're doing everything you need to be doing to turn this into a best case scenario.

I mean I think it is just regular MPB (mixed with a little stress and poor nutrition) but I thought I was keeping it at bay. My dad had a proper bald spot at 19 though so I'm doing better than him at least
