Question about minoxidil

Hey.

So I’m FtMtNB woman. I was on T for 6 years all together and have been off for around 2,5 years now. One of the reasons I quit T was because of hair loss/receding hairline. I have now been on minoxidil (topical) for almost 4 months. I can already see some results of that which makes me happy. I have not done any surgeries that would affect my ovaries. So my «system» is now fully back to being estrogen dominated, and has been for 2,5 years.

I have a theory that once my hair is fully grown back I’ll be able to stop using minoxidil, as the underlying reason for my hairloss is not there anymore (being on T). I don’t have any women in my family with hairloss problems, so as far as I know I’m not genetically disposed to hairloss (except if I’m on T, a lot of bald men in my family)

Anyone have a similar experience and have successfully gotten back hair that was lost due to T, and then quit minoxidil without the hairloss returning?

I won’t see any big results after 1 year, and I’m determined to wait, I just don’t wanna be stuck using minoxidil for the rest of my life, and also scared that if I manage to grow back my hairline I’ll loose it if I stop.

And bonus question: did you experience weight gain after going off T?
