I've been on finesterine tablets now for three full weeks.
I've been taking them to ensure I do not lose any more hair (it's thinning at the Crown only)
I've read that they work by massively dropping DHT which is basically a super testosterone.
It might just be a placebo but I've really had a huge drop in dysphoria for the last week.
So much so, I haven't felt the need to put on makeup daily to do something, anything to feel more girly.
I still wear knickers and a sports bra daily under my work gear and I'll live and die in jeans and I love my cute jeans.
Um so yeah, just sharing :)

Sounds like a double win! Very glad you're feeling a benefit from them. X

Wonderful to hear you are feeling so much better Katie.
I hope the tablets give you further progress.
