If you’re trans, best to get on oral spiro and progesterone, which are powerful 5-alpha reductase blockers, with feminizing affects.  

From my understanding, spiro is not an 5arI perse, moreover it is an antiandrogen. 
I am using CPA which does a much better job as AA and is not so bad to the to the liver. 
So I think switching CPA in favour of Spiro is a really bad idea. 
 

Progestogene is a good idea 👍, but using it to early in transition might harm the breast growth, there is also a backway path of P4 which might increase Testosterone

Really a loveley case, also I like how you solved his problem in the second approach 

I am on 12.5mg Androcur/CPA daily and 4mg Estrofem sublingual, as I am trans.

My testosterone is nearly undetectable, but I don't have tests for DHT.

Is there any reason to add Finasteride for hair regrwoth purposes?

Devnull,

It probably isn’t going to be real accurate if somebody tries to give you an estimate on how many grafts per cm2 you’ve received.   Frankly, the best thing to do it would be to ask your surgeon and perhaps he or she would be able to give you a more accurate answer.

Alternately, you can attempt to resize the photo to be accurate in terms of size so that the picture of your scalp on the screen is the same size as your actual head.  You can then use a draw or paint program to create a cubic centimeter and then try to count the number of grafts In that area.  You can do this in a couple different areas in the scalp to get a general idea and an approximate average on density.

I hope this helps

Thank you, I think that’s fair, I will just wait for my next appointment and let the doctor calculate the density. 
 

After overall 7800 Grafts placed in the Norwood 5a area, even with a small crown and high sides, I feel like loosing the battle, in the end. 

 

Dear Melvin, thx for the video. 
currently it is quite hard to do an appropriate picture with my old phone, due to my blonde hair, the image is over lighten and blurry. 
The picture above was taken by the doctor, an approximate estimation would help a lot 

Hello guys, 

I had 2 transplants, one with hattingen hair (5200 FUT grafts) and recently the other in december: 2600 FUE with HLC for Hairline and crown reenforcemance.

 Even if both procdedures would turn out good (Hattingen one did), I am still very unhappy with my hair situation and would like to do a touch up in the mid-scalp. 

If would love to have 45 grafts per cm/2 in the marked zone (Donor is still capable of 2500 Grafts).

What would you estimate how much grafts per cm² do I currently have in the marked area and how much grafts would I need to reach my goal.

Thanks a lot for helping me out!
