How long to wait for results? What kind?

[Lastcall]

Hi,

I tried rogaine a few years back...i was on a medical drug then, prednisone, so I'm not sure if there was interference there. I haven't been on prednisone for over 12 months..hopefully, never again.

Anyway, I decided to start rogaine again but am wondering about the following:

1) Age - I'm 45....am I past the age where rogaine will help at all?
2) Type of balding - I look like a class 3-5A with lots and lots of hair on sides and back, but definitely thinning on top and front. I still have hair on frontal top, but crown doesn't have the same amount. There is hair on crown (can feel it), but not the same thickness/number as front.

How long should I use the rogaine and what should I look for to determine it is working?

Also, do I even try propecia due to 1 and 2 above?

Thanks,
LC.
