I saw NO results from Propecia during the first 7 months or so. On month 8, I am now pretty sure that my hair loss is stopping. I also happen to have started Rogaine 5 weeks ago, so maybe it is the combination of the two. No re-growth yet, though. In other words, my hair is significantly worse...

I really appreciate hearing your take on this I feel like most criticisms I have seen of young patients getting an FUE have two serious flaws -they do not identify the really tough psychological impact of losing hair so young -they take their own perceptions of hairloss at a more advanced age...

I have been on it for 7 months and I probably have 1/2 of the hairs that I started with in the front :shakehead:

This is an interesting point, and certainly hard for me to speak to Though I do find there to be a difference. I do not have unrealistic expectations. For example, even now I would be fine with a look that indicated a receding hairline, so long as I didn't have to go through all the pain to...

I understand the negatives of getting strip surgery for a young patient (early 20s) With a scar and already depleted donor area, there obviously will be a need for further surgeries down the road, which may or may not be possible But what exactly are the negatives with FUE? As far as I can...

Has anyone tried chewing tablets before? I took Propecia for 6 months (swallowing) and saw ZERO results. I'm not talking just about no re-growth, but I was losing hair at the same or worse pace than before. I have now chewed my tablet for about 1.5 weeks and the hair loss has decreased...

I know it can take over a year to see growth results, but my hair is getting actively WORSE every day. This is still happening almost 6 months in. So much scalp now visible, I am applying boatloads of Toppik just to get through the day. :dunno: Starting to give up hope for Propecia

It has been 5 1/2 months on propecia. my hair is definitely worse than when I started, so I am hoping that it is still part of a 'shedding' phase The noticeable loss has come from the middle of my scalp, on top. I used to have hairs here that I could layer over the front part and hide my hair...

Woke up today with about 20 hairs on the pillow and then lost about another 10 more when combing :shakehead: Is it really possible to still be SHEDDING this far into treatment???

Anyone? Is it possible that it could really take 6+ months for things to start improving? Hoping someone has experienced this sort of progression with finasteride

It's hard to tell if the hairs are thicker in diameter. I am still losing a good amount of hairs when I pull from the front-mid region of my scalp, which always terrifies me. Lose a few from there anytime I even brush my hand through my hair, and lose a lot if I comb it. Basically wondering if...

I'm 22 y/o and started Propecia in December. My hair loss had mostly been at the temples (started to form island in front) and a thinning of the top island area itself. I always covered this up with a layered hair cut that looked fine 1st month- no noticeable change 2nd, 3rd- less hairs falling...
