Started RU 3 Weeks ago

[marikeo]

Anybody notice instant thickening after a just 1 weeks worth of application? My hair feels and looks thicker after only 1 week. Now clearly a week cannot produce anything of significance, but I take it as a very good sign of what's to come. My shedding for what it's worth has halted completely.

My only minor issue at the moment is red/dry eyes after application and minor puffiness of the nipples. I might lower my dosage from 50mg to 40mg after a few weeks if these minor sides do not dissipate.

Minus the minor sides (nothing remotely close to serious to drop), I'm liking RU so far.

StayThick, I thought you have been on RU for some time? One thing I have noticed in the past when a treatment has worked is "root lift". I got this when I started Fin way back when. Could be a signal that some of your hairs have gone into anagen phase. That would be great (could mean a shed to come though if they were in telogen phase). But you are right, it would not be possible to notice anything else that quickly.

Good luck. I start this week when my scale arrives, 25mg mixes with Lipogaine to start.

How has the 10mg been treating you?

Jlantern, how is your shedding going? Are you seeing any of those previously shed come back yet?

How has the 10mg been treating you?

Fine thanks. Not sure if its having an appreciable effect, but its the best I've got.

[jlantern]

My gyno flared absolutely from the missed days, yes.

I am still on RU, I use 10mg as its all my body can tolerate.

Wait, are you stating the gyno started as a result of missing days??

Are you currently still using RU? If not, was this why?

I was using 50mg every day, mostly fine.

Then the trouble started when I missed a couple days, as I was in a different city without my RU.

Be wary of missing days, I guess is the best advice I could give. Be consistent, and constant with your applications.

What dose did you use when gyno sides emerged? I'm currently using 50mg in 1ml of KB Solution.

I wish you all the best, absolutely. It'll be interesting to see how everyone does.

But it should be noted I've experienced gyne sides on higher doses RU. Just my experience.

Just read this entire thread and I'm interested in mixing RU with minox and applying. But I'm also concerned about J's shedding, god dammit I'm not sure what to do. I have to stop my hairloss now, it's thinned like crazy since I quit propecia and my hairline has gone back a ****ing inch in 9 months no joke. I would normally man up and get the RU but this goddamn shedding freaks me out, can't afford to lose anymore hair any quicker. Wtf should I do??

My shedding has stopped(for now I think). I've had two sheds that lasted 3 weeks after being on the treatment for 3 months. As of right now I can see some of regrowth in the mirror. ( I have light colored hair, the hairs have stayed a very light blonde, making them hard to see even when they were inch long.) The hairs are shorter now of course because of the shedding but they appear to be getting darker and thicker. The shedding part I worry the most about is my crown. For me the first shed was bad and made me nervous the second was mild .. All in all im okay with it. You have to accept it has to get worst before it gets better.

Make a regimen tweak if you need to, then stay committed to it no matter what.

Bingo. But this gets me really damn excited. RU/Minox might be the bridge for us to the next gen of treatments. Stopping loss plus thickening the crown is exactly what I'm looking for. Putting in my order this month if you gyno-prone guys remain side-free.

thats great:
dont worry on neogenic , its praised on HLH and i trust that forum a lot, I ordered some too.

I will soon be on neogenic + mpb RU + kane CB + Regenpure and drop keratene
Still debating b/w ordering cb or ru from kane, the only reason im debating is iv already ordered the damn RU from mpb so i feel like im gona be stuck with loads of RU if it doesnt work out, so maybe i try cb form3 in kb solution ? thoughts?

also dr nigam thinks cb is a good tool, he said hes ordering some himself

[StayThick]

ok thats good, anything with the hair? i know its only 6 apps but a week is usually enough to observe any affects atleast with me

So far great. Shedding has almost completely halted and I took pictures before my first application and will compare photos in a few more weeks.

Libido is still solid and no negative impact there which is a plus. Hoping for general thickening and possibly slight regrowth if I'm lucky.

Currently using: Rogaine Foam 1x daily, Capillogain 1x daily, Neogenic 1x daily (regardless what people say, I like it), and now RU.

I also rotate Nizoral and Big3 Shampoo throughout the week, along with Multivitamins, MSM, and Tococaps.
