Hair questions

Been on low dose T for 10 years, suck at taking my shot consistently. Doctors have yelled at me about low T but I don't care, I like how I look.

I've decided to stop as I approach perimenopause (I'm 38) because well, biology is a thing, and I'm not interested in maintaining T levels while my body slows estrogen production.

My hair has thinned a bit at the temples and in the front. Most people don't notice, but I do. I'm booked to talk to a dermatologist soon about minoxidil, but curious about regrowth once going off T, and whether or not finastride would be necessary?

Currently I do use the HIMs topical fin+minoxidil . Not a fan, it fucks with my hair care routine.

If I stayed on a low dose the next couple years , tapered , and walked away.. would finastride even be necessary?

Would minoxidil be sufficient to see regrowth of areas im self conscious about (and literally losing sleep over)?

How realistic is it that simply going off T might spawn some regrowth?

Should I just shut up , stop asking reddit, and save it all for the derm (even though people going off HRT is a dead zone of research lol)

Thanks in advance for humoring my vanity.
