Sometimes I wonder if I've started losing hair [since this IS something I should be looking out for on T] but my hair is so voluminous when dry that I feel like I'm not gonna be able to tell until it's already long begun

i got put on dutasteride but i never took it because i also don't want to mess up my facial hair. losing hair afaik starts as receding at the hair line and thinning strands. mine are so brittle i cant bleach anymore. you also wont be able to tell til it starts because there is no other way to tell.
like can't tell til it gets noticable*. but also as a note i have crazy ocd so i pay obsessive attention to that stuff. i also had a lot more hair falling out during showers than usual when it was at it's worst! i think i lowered my dose and stopped bleaching my hair for a bit and that helped a bit
I've heard of dutasteride and that it might be a better option for people who didn't react well to finasteride! I dunno maybe I'll add a DHT blocker sometime next year, I want to make sure I fill out any patches in my facial hair first in case the blocker slows down growth
I could start finasteride preventatively but... weh... as a DHT blocker I'd be worried about it slowing the progression of my facial and body hair and the possibility of menstruating again :(
