well its not that i dont feel it wont work its that almost everyone ive seen on testosterone has reported bottom growth even doctors said its the first thing that happens. Im 3 months in and ive noticed absolutely none, but im also on finasteride which is known for slowing that process but also some people dont get bottom growth but its way more rare so im just confused as to why i havent noticed any if that makes sense?

just take your time!! It will most likely happen eventually, the gel also isn’t as fast as the injection process. 3 months is still very soon to see any major changes like that but I wish you the best!

I'm coming to this late but unfortunately some of us just don't get a lot of bottom growth either. I maybe got an extra inch or so, if that

Wait, isn’t finasteride a DHT blocker? DHT is the main hormone that causes bottom growth, among other things. I’m not sure if the finasteride would affect your whole body if you’re just using it on your scalp, but it’s something you might want to look into / check with your doctor about.
