Rogaine, or other options, to stimulate facial hair growth while on TRT?

[Guest guest]

I've been on TRT for about a year and a half now, primarily to promote the

development of secondary sex characteristics, as well as in order to bring up my

formerly low T levels. When I first started TRT, I was 20 years old and had

virtually no facial hair growth. Now, I'm 21 and my facial hair grows in on my

cheeks, but only faintly on my upper lip and the general " goatee " area.

I talked to my endo to see if there was anything I could do to promote facial

hair growth in this area, because it looks kind of stupid the way it grows in

now, but he said no.

Not willing to roll over and let it be that easily, I was wondering if anyone

knew of any ways I could try to stimulate my facial hair growth? Does anyone

know if something like Rogaine would at least make the finer hairs growing now

grow in thicker? Or if there's anything out there I could buy that would

stimulate growth overall? Would not shaving help it grow in faster?

Thanks a lot, and I really appreciate any help you can provide. This is really

important to me, since my levels are stable and I desperately want to look the

age I feel/am. I understand that not everyone can grow a full beard/everyone has

different facial hair growth patterns, but I'd like to make sure I've done all I

can.

Your still young my nephew did not get a beard until he got into his mid 20's.

I would not put so much into this as much as I would about feeling better and

doing great.
