3 months on fin: nothing

[ccmethinning]

5 month update. So basically I'm just going to turn this thread into my log at this point. Still feel like my temple points and hairline are getting hit a little bit. No other notable changes. Might start posting pictures soon.

Keep in mind that this won't show anything other than what your levels are. If he doesn't have anything to compare with it won't do any good anyway. Hairloss isn't a matter of how much DHT but how much your hair follicles are genetically programmed to be effected.

On average should be a 50-70% reduction. His levels should be low regardless. If they are not, and his results are no good, time to re-evaluate!

Hi again CC'
Im at the beginning of my 6 month of using Finasteride now.
Cant wait to focus on my scalp at the end of this month.
I can say this, I DO see improvements CC"!
I HOPE that the hairs that seem to be 'woken up ' a bit continues to improve!
Just to reiterate, even if i see no improvements at the end of this month I will not lose hope on its use.
Ill await the 9 month mark and then the 1 year mark before I might form an opinion on Fin's overall effect on my hair.
With some others,,it can take OVER a year of using Fin'.....One step at a time CC'
Happy New Year to ALL and Cheers.

Just finished month 13 and that's when I really seen the difference. The front area is a difference story. Gonna need a HT to fix that up.

Fin didn't stop the hairline from receding or something?

fin doesnt work well in the front but it helps some. Honesty I never cared that I was going bald so I never did anything. It wasn't till jokes where being made then I thought going bald is going to socially suck. Plus I do look like an x con with a shaved head. Funny. I shaved it down then I was getting more remarks about my birth mark than hair loss. That's when I looked for help. Glad I found the forums. Wish I could help others.

In short I got on fin to late. I should of been on fin 6 years ago. I'm 34

You think that's bad, I was almost 37 and at best a NW5 when I started.

Almost 6 months now. I am fairly confident I have loss ground on my hairline and temple points, and at a faster rate, since being on fin.

However, I feel like the hair that remains on my hairline is stronger than it was before. It feels more thick and substantial than before fin. However, I have no way to prove this and it could only be wishful thinking.

Also, I just reordered fin from inHouse pharmacy and it should come any day now. I live in the northeast US, and we have been having a very cold winter. I am worried the effect that fin sitting out in the cold in the mailbox could have on it. Could freezing diminish the effectiveness of fin?

naw man the cold wont do anything to it....extreme hear i could be a tad worried but not cold

this is a pretty frequent response for fin, if your assessment is correct...hairline taking hits, rest of hair getting thick

nothign has stopped my hairline from retreating since i started fighting my loss, but since fin/dut (was on fin for 5 months then dropped and went to dut) i think ive gained some thickness and my hair is definitely darker

It took me 9 months to start to see results and had best results at a 18 months. Hold in there it takes time.

This.

Sensitivity to androgens is the top issue, but I still think testosterone has some role in the front for hair. I am just really curious to see how something like CB or a stronger AA that works at receptors works for MPB compared to what we have now. I wonder how much better it works in the front I hope they test it specifically for the temples and front.

thats why ultimate AA regimen right now is dut and RU (blocks T and DHT)...

It is more potent than CB btw, but CB also helps with inflammation.

7 months in. No changes for better or worse really.
