    IAHRS doctors thoughts on FUT vs FUE

    Had a conversation with an IAHRS doctor in SoCal today and was told a lot of information, that while I assume is correct, I wanted to run by everyone here. He stated that FUT was really the only game in town due to a number of things including but not limited to: 1. Much higher harvestability...

    Hair system provider/salon in southern california?

    Hi all. Only a norwood 3ish right now and don't believe in a good candidate for a transplant (can't take finasteride) so I'm looking for a good system/salon in the southern california area to help with my hairline (no vertex balding). I searched the forum and didn't really find anything...

    Persistent Lowered Test From Finasteride And Recovery?

    Hi All, Been on finasteride for a year with no side effects other than lower semen volume (an effect not a side effect according to Dr. Bernstein). Like seriously, other than possibly some libido issues (was also on ssris for a portion of it) I have been fairly lucky with sides. I was on finasteride...

    Finasteride Causing Demylenation Leading To Sexual Side Effects?

    I had recently read an internet thread where someone made an argument that it was possible that finasteride actually caused neurological damage that led to loss of libido. I've been on it for 2.5 months and believe I'm seeing results but also experienced lower ejaculate volume, possibly less hard...

    Should I Up My Finasteride Dose Now?

    Been on finasteride .5 mg for two weeks with no side effects other than two days of watery semen. Can't complain at all. Technically my dosage was prescribed as 1mg but I had read that the difference on effect was so minor and that sides could be higher. Should I stay on .5 or should I go to my...

    A Very Important Study For Anyone Taking Or Considering Taking Propecia

    This seems to be the consensus. Again, it simply comes back to the risks and rewards associated with the drug. Keep in mind this only affects a certain percentage of users, but the risks are real.

    Just How Normal Is The Watery Semen?

    Ok good to know. At some point I will likely want kids. After looking at the clinical data it looked like it had mild effects in the short term but also that a lot of people were able to conceive normally. Sounds like with done people they even recovered while still on finasteride.

    Just How Normal Is The Watery Semen?

    Hey everyone, I started finasteride .5mg a few days ago. No real side effects other than noticeably more watery semen and possibly less ejaculate. This doesn't seem to be one of the side effects that's get lumped into the 2-3% chance of getting figure (impotence, Ed, libido). Is this...

    Should I Expect A Shed From Propecia?

    Just started on the pill today and have been using rogaine for the last month and experiencing what I would say is a decent shed (50-70 hairs a day?). Is it normal to have a shed on Propecia? I suppose I won't have any idea if it's from Propecia or Rogaine, but it would be nice to know if it is...

    What Dosage Of Propecia Should I Start With?

    Hi All, got prescribed 1 mg finasteride tablets to take once per day. I feel like I have seen things on here about .5mg working the same, is this true? It would be to save a little money (dr would not prescribe proscar as she was afraid I would not be able to cut it as small as 1 mg) and also...
