      Guess so, but it's still pretty bleak news otherwise..

        Hang in there JCM, has your shedding stopped or reduced? It can take a while for regrowth stick with it.

        I am now 6 weeks into Rogaine Foam, hair is still worse, although not ridiculously worse, nothing like the sheds i had imagined in my head before starting, but there is a def shed going on. There are a ton of tiny vellus hairs all around my hair line, but im think they may have always been there and now im just noticing them because i am paying more attention to my hair. So really not much new to report, I missed one day of application over the last 6 weeks and have only applied it once about 4 days during that time period, the rest of the days have been twice a day. Also the cans do not last a month id say more like 3 weeks.

        Ill give another updat next week!

            Shower shedding is low now, sparse centre parting area has baby hairs appearing, still watering the garden so to speak, hope they blossom

              8 weeks in

              Hey guys thought I would share my results. I am 8 weeks in and had a pretty heavy shed. It was probably it's worse at the 6 week mark. Nothing Terrible but a few people noticed. I can see a few, thick, dark hairs sprouting in my hairline, my hair is still relatively thick so I can't tell if this is the case throughout my head.

              Well update again at 3 months, and just an FYI I'm a NW2.5 with mild diffuse thining everywhere and I'm only applying Rogaine FOam once a day. Also if you can get your hands on the no scent foam do so. It is so much better than having to smell the regular rogaine foam all the time.

                  Well it's been 38 days since I started, the only difference I can see is in my hairline, there are baby hairs growing. Some days I shed a lot, some I don't, a freakin roller coaster my head is.

                    Hey 8th week update. Still not too much to report, think the shed is over, and i might be nuts but most the time i look at my hair I think it may be getting slightly better...but it could be all in my head.

                    This thread is becomming pretty good chronicle of a bunch of peoples on going experiences...Hopefully in a few more weeks all of us will be happy

                      I'm not shedding much in the shower but my hairline is becoming more sparse-the small handful of baby hairs I see don't out weigh the ever onwards northward march of my hairline..

                              Not much going on my way, still thinning around the hairline-baby hairs still fighting to push through, ah well onwards we go..

                                hairline is broken up, temples heading northwards-and it's happened pretty quickly, since applying the foam actually

                                Hey, are you using the foam on hairlines and temples also ?
                                I have been using foam all over my head, including temples and sides. Everything seems to get thicker, but the sides were receding , so I just stopped using on the sides for now and see what diff it makes.
