Conpecia tell me something,
You said that on HairSite there are a lot of people who had good results with I/C but it seems like only that "alecbaldone" had something while everyone asking him about his "progression", and he keeps pushing it and pushing it like he really wants everyone to belive it works.
I think he is "lawly" something from ***, the man who uses like 432 products on his head and every few days says "Capillogain is the one I'm telling you!! so what if I use propecia avodart minox aminexil neogenic and K-300 ? that doesn't mean anything!"
Just saying...Hoping I'm wrong.Comment

Well there's him and three or four other guys on it at Hairsite affirming it stops loss, guys like bencarter, then there's Casperz, Chromeo, Sparx, and I think a few others on *** who were all on CET, not to mention all those Germans who first started CET and had everyone freaking out. So no not hundreds of people but I'd say at least 20-30 have said good stuff about PGD2 blockers. I think it's on it's way to being something like RU, a decent experimental.
But I'm not gonna say I'm positive it works, it's only been a week. Honestly if fin hadn't given me gynecomastia I'd be on it right now, but that's life.Comment

In fact, it is the exact opposite, alecbaldone says in ten years of trying, nothing at all has worked for him, not even freaking dutasteride.Comment

Update:
Still slowly shedding after 15 days "on" I/C combo. I use quotation marks because I've taken it probably 10/15 days, once a day, and others may have used it as much as twice daily. So take my results with a grain of salt.
Notes:
-I also started Regenepure shampoo at roughly the same time, which is said to induce sheds (heard some pretty bad horror stories online). Perhaps this could explain the fact that I'm still losing hair regularly?
-Hair is MUCH thinner than it was this time a year ago. Can feel the diffused outline of a NW6 pattern. Starting to look like I have a mullet because the donor area is so thick.
-The sole ray of sunshine in this is that I'm definitely seeing a little regrowth around the hairline. Can't tell around the crown, but vellus hairs are slowly improving around the hairline (we're talking snail's pace). Since I've been on minoxidil for the past 4 months I think it's finally starting to work. Unfortunately, I'm still shedding, so I'm pretty sure my gains are for nought in the end, as long as DHT is attacking my scalp.
-I may end up dropping the chromo. I need to do more research on what its actual role is here. Someone on another forum remarked that chromo might retard/inhibit the anagen phase. I wish I knew more about the science behind this.
Sides so far:
1. Still have a bit of a sore throat, very strange feeling, more uncomfortable than painful.
2. Scalp gets a little irritated from the I/C, which is why I've not been using it daily.
That's all. Thankfully I'm not feeling fatigue, libido issues, brain fog, or gyno issues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the vellus hairs reach an interesting length I'll take photos. And if shedding slows down in the next couple weeks I'll report. Still very undecided about this, particularly since a bunch of guys said it "instantly" stopped their hairloss. That is certainly not the case here, but they were probably taking it twice or even three times as much as I am, so we'll see.
I plan on continuing this treatment unless my hairloss becomes significantly worse, whereupon I'll be forced to get back on finasteride and combat the sides. It may be easier to combat gynecomastia and low libido than hairloss in the end...Comment

Indo may work or it may not work, we don't really know. We do know that there's at least a tinny bit of science behind the theory, but still, that's not really saying much. Anyway, it does'n't matters what other people have said on other forums, even if at the end we find that indo do works, there's just NO WAY it can't stop you hair for falling in just a couple of weeks.Comment

Ok, im on Indo/chromo since 1 month(apllied on my hairline)
And i'm going to make a break with it,
2 big reasons:
-I'm shedding too much on the left side of my hairline, with a good recession.
-Unfortunately, side effect... : Huge fatigue, when is say huge is HUGE, i sleep like 9hour each nigth and for the summer im working in a office, easy work, in front of a computer all the day, but im soooooooooooo tired with some big balck circles under my eyes, **** my life!!!Comment

Yeah i'm shedding a good bit too, like constantly getting hairs in my hands when i run my hand through my hair. It's weird: go to one forum and everybody is raving about how CET and I/C stop hairloss in its tracks, go to another forum and we're shedding more than usual on it. I'm dedicated to giving it at least until the end of August. In the meantime though I'm gonna research like hell about how to minimize estrogen levels while taking propecia. at the end of the day it may be better to just stick with what works and deal with the side effects. **** my life is right...Comment

Well here's something positive I guess: there may be a pgd2 blocker shed similar to that experienced on fin and minox, where weaker hairs make way for stronger hairs. this makes much more sense to me than hair loss just magically stopping. when casperz and some other guys started CET there was a heavy shed for a couple weeks THEN all loss stopped. for the sake of my mental health i'm going to assume that this is what's going on. some other guys are shedding on HS, and someone said he started Ramatroban, had a nasty shed (as many did who thereafter bailed on it), stuck with it, and is now noticing some regrowth around the hairline. all of this is hearsay without pics, but at least other people are experiencing a similar reaction.
i'll take a shed as long as regrowth is on the way. i'll stick with this definitely through August and will reevaluate in September to see if I need to add a proper DHT blocker like fin (cringe). it's never a good idea to hop from treatment to treatment. you guys need to find regimens and stick with them for at least 6 months before switching around to other stuff. adding is ok, subtracting is not ok. going bald takes time. growing hair back takes time too.
the fact that Nigam might actually be curing baldness as we speak gives me more confidence to endure as well...Comment
