Help with Norwood Reaper (pics included)

[psl6by2028]

I have very aggressive hairloss as around half the men in my family are bald (NW7).

I knew this from a young age, and even at age 15/16 I had a Norwood 2 hairline.

I started topical minoxidil and topical finasteride as soon as I turned 18, and currently have not really experienced much improvement (NW 2.5). I think I'm in a shedding phase right now, and lose around 200-300 hairs a day (hoping it's just temporary).

I have also added in RU58841 for the past 3 weeks, and it seems to be in the shedding phase as well rn (apparently that's a good thing?). Perhaps I will start Pyrilutamide in a few months if RU58841 doesn't do anything, given its much greater binding affinity to outcompete DHT and seeming lack of cardiovascular side effects as seen by RU.

I am thinking of doing a hair transplant to fix the hairline, however would doctors even perform on me at 20 years old?

It also doesn't help that I have a relatively large forehead (genetically, mentalist muscle extends to the widows peak of my hairline and curves...), so even this slight recession has large effects.

I don't want to hop on dut at my current age, especially because I really need to preserve my cognitive function to continue moneymaxxing and I do believe DHT is useful for mental health. I saw a post regarding the use of 2.5mg dutasteride and then supplementing the 'DHT' via mesterolone (which has way lower binding affinity so RU can compete), so I may try this if nothing else works, but I don't want to get involved in injecting hormones.

Overall, does anyone have any advice. Should I try something else or just remain patient? I have genetically fine (but wavy) hair, so is there any way of thickening it, perhaps oral minoxidil (avoiding because of bloating side effects rn)?

Dut or you're fucked, that's it. No amount of paragraphs and research will change this. Diffuse thinning is the hardest to treat with both medication or transplantation.

If you're balding before 18, you were just not meant to have hair. You'll have to accept wearing a hair system.
You can try dutasteride at 21, if you dislike side effects, you can just stop taking it. I don't believe it's even gonna help though.

Really? I’ve heard of people keeping most of their hair by staying on finasteride even at 18. My plan is to keep as much as I can then get a ht a few years later to fill in the hairline and density.

DHT is rough.

I dont want to completely nuke my dht yet, but I’ve heard pyrilutermide is as effective as 2.5mg dut without the sides as it doesn’t go systematic, so I’ll try that in a few months is nothing improves.

Are the mental sides with dut real ?
