UPDATE - so been just over 2 months into propecia. I've increased by dosage from .25mg to .5mg ed for the last 3 weeks. I think i'm seeing some results? i've also increased by minoxidil dosage to about 9-10 doses per week strictly. So i'm not sure if it's the proprcia working (very early) or the...

will try and summarise my story
Currently 29 yrs old - diffuse norwood 3ish. Been balding since 20/21.
minoxidil stage:
After denying my hair loss problem for 2-3 yrs, i finally started on generic liquid minoxidil x 2 day. Was messy as hell (esp the morning dose) but i stuck to it. 3 weeks after...
