Propecia shedding/regrowth

[brandnew88]

I started propecia back in February at .25 every third day and after six weeks went to .25 every other day. Then after another six weeks went to .25 daily and after about 3-4 weeks went to .33 daily. Since early July I have been on .5 of a tablet daily.

I believe I am seeing small hairs around my hairline sprout up in the last week or so. I am still shedding tons of hair though. Is it normal to see regrowth starting but still not see a reduction in shedding?

Also I have been on rogaine foam twice a day for close to 4 years.

i think some of the hairs that are at the hairline are getting thicker, but still shedding :-/

Noticed something similar. My crown was real thin when I started finasteride. On finasteride, I shed a lot. However, I've only seen improvements despite the shedding. My crown now seems fairly thick, I see spots of hairloss becoming less noticeable, etc.
Not sure what to think of the shedding, but finasteride itself seems to be working despite shedding

About 4 weeks after I started to take finasteride. I noticed a lot of shedding this few days and my crown looks thinner than previously. Anyway I believe this should be the stage I need to go through before my hair regrowth.
