I’m nearly 32 Norwood 2 with not overally aggressive hairloss. Anyway my hair isn’t what it was when I was 24 and I think if I was to leave it I would need to buzz cut it within a few years. I’ve just starting taking 0.5 finasteride everyday as well as biotin and use a organic thickening...

You’re right but it completely sucks. The idea of keeping my hair as it is for 10 years would be amazing

They started as just a discomfort and ended up being a pain I guess like a cramp. More in my pecks than in between them.There wasn’t any real pain when I touched them although last night I did feel very slight tenderness. It’s unlike any other pain I’ve had and isn’t like a back ache or...

I started taking 0.5 finasteride 5 weeks ago and was pleased that I wasn’t suffering any side effects. Over the last week I’ve been getting terrible chest pains and have decided to come off it to see whether they were caused by the medication. I’m pretty annoyed as not worrying about my hair...

Your hairline looks fairly okay but you have obvious thinning at the crown. I think Finasteride and Regaine would help immensely and I would get on it now

I wouldn’t see this a balding if I wasn’t so obsessed with hair loss. Your hair looks absolutely fine. If you can keep it at that with medication you should be pretty happy

When I use my pill cutter I end up with one piece that is 2/3 of a 1 mg pill. Obviously the other piece is around a third of a pill. Was wondering if this could be an issue

Great and do you think 0.5 is enough or shall I go full dose?

I’m 31 probably a NW2 my hair hasn’t gone back that far as it was never great but has definitely receded and is thinning at the front. Come from an average family in terms of hair genetics. Not many baldies but everyone over 40 has lost some hair. Anyway I’ve just started finasteride and was...

I’ve started taking Finasteride 7 days ago and have just read up on the gynecomastia side effect. I’m naturally in decent enough shape but I’ve always been fleshy around the pecks and fairly sure I have a mild version of it already. Anyway I don’t want to to get worse and have man breasts but I...

That hair comes back though right ?

Thoughts ?

My hair has thinned and isn’t quite the same as it was when I was 25 (I’m not 31). I here a lot of people say that Propecia works best when you catch it early, the problem is that it’s often takes you’re hair to look significantly worse before you realise that you need to take action. Anyway...

Hi Tristan, I’m glad Finasteride is working for you! I just wanted to know was there any point where it made our hair worse? My hairs retreating but it’s not yet advanced which makes me not want to risk make worse!

Cheers, although it doesn't seem bad I've had a couple of comments made about it and looking up on the internet I hear loads of people saying how they'd wished they had started before it was too late. I'll try the taking a lower dose of finasteride just to keep things as they are. Im just...
