I visited my GP last week , he had a look at my hair, i have hairline recession i feel like my hair has thinned in the last 2 years. I am 25 atm. He said propecia wont help me since he cant see any thinning. Where else can i get it from?. Or will it not help for recession without possible thinning?. I am currently a strong nw2 , not looking to be a Norwood 3 by 30. My right side is a Norwood 1.5 though , left side is alot more receeded.

GP refused to give me birth control because he said I wasn't a woman. Lol @ NW2. You are NW1. BDD.

I see it and it is extremely minor. If that is your bad side you are at worst NW1.5

Yeah but i heard that is a sign of male pattern baldness, once the other side catches up, i am probably f**ed . The reason i am worried is due to my family history.

Yes it is a sign but its no where near as bad as you've made it out to be. If you are worried why don't you try finasteride?
( buy it online from alldaychemist.com )

Oh okay thanks, thats what i was looking for , a trusted place to buy it , since my GP wont give it to me. Will it thicken up hair or just stop it from falling out? .

Individual results will vary. It might slow it down, stop it, grow some or not work at all. Maybe even make it worse.. Which was the case for me unfortunately.

What will happen if i start it then? , btw anxiousandy, are you still taking propecia? And what stage are you at atm? . Also i loose about 90 - 100 hairs a day, but i only wash my hair like once or twice a week. Is that normal? .

I honestly can't answer that, one of the outcomes I mentioned above. I am still on propecia and more. Still losing my hair :( I lose 150 -200 hairs a day. Your hair fall seems normal.

You've got a long way to go before you hit NW3 lol. I started balding at 14 and I'm almost 21 now.

If no thinning is visible to someone else then does it really matter if you lost hair? Live with it, and just watch it. If your really balding then at some point it will be visible. At that time go back and take action. You have plenty of time to forget about it. If its male pattern baldness you will know for sure, and so will he looking at it.
At this point you might not be balding.

If you have a family history of aggressive male pattern baldness, simply buy Finasteride online from alldaychemist.com or another trusted website. You can also go to a dermatologist or hair restoration specialist and have them prescribe you Finasteride.

I cant believe some people are making it seem like you have no hairloss lol. This forum only considers you balding if you are a lost cause.
