I was replying to @Quokka@quokk.au earlier but seemed to make sense to ask everyone here:

Is anyone on a hair regrowth journey here? Is anyone taking the combo in the title? I'm curious about a few things.

Did you start finasteride at the same time as starting hrt? Given that I'm about to start HRT, I feel like i should wait to start fin for a few months ago I can tell what emotional changes come from HRT and what come from fin.
Did you get the dreaded depression side effect from fin?
How do you take them and how do you take your E? Is there any worry about hepatic stress from taking all of these orally?
Any increased body hair growth? If so, even after laser / electro?
How careful do you have you have to be with hair care? Are you sleeping in hair covers? Using expensive conditioners etc?
Are you getting the results you want?
