Still shedding substantially.

Do you have a reference for that?

An interesting read thanks. It's looking more and more like when this is finally cracked minoxidil will be used in conjunction with another agent.

good news guys: shed today was less than it's been in several weeks. still not too hopeful but i wasn't pulling hair out each time i tested today. it's been roughly 1 month.

How much would you say you shed per day before the indo/chromo?

[Conpecia]

haven't shed much today either.

well i started regenepure and i/c combo at the same time. but prior to indo/chromo i'd say i was shedding 10-15 hairs a day, then for the past month it's been about 30-40, but for the past two days back down to under 10. still, i mean, i could shed 40 tomorrow. who knows. i won't get excited until i haven't shed for a few weeks.

But that sounds like nothing. Even 30-40 hairs a day does not sound like much. The problem is, of course, if they are not replaced..

I brush my hair in the morning before washing it to avoid clogging the drain and to try and keep track of how much I shed, and in the morning I usually count around 15-25 hairs. I brush and wash my hair again in the evening before I apply minox and when I brush my hair, I will see another 15-20 hairs or so. I varies, of course, some times I see less than 30 in total and some times I see 50 in the morning alone. I use wax to style my hair, I think most of the hairs I shed during the day get caught by the wax, so I guess it gives a somewhat accurate picture of how much I shed - from the crown anyway.

i agree it's not as much as some here claim to lose, but i'm coming from finasteride where i may have lost 1 hair a day. i'd say i probably lose 50 a day during a shed that i actually see, who knows how many i actually shed.

all i know is my hairline is pushing NW3 and my crown is getting thin. so either way something bad is happening.

i/c irritates my crown. did not apply yesterday and won't apply today to prevent irritation.

[justeone]

hey conpecia , im still applying it , sometimes every other day just to do with slight irritation .. Its definatly the Indo that makes the irritation for me, the chromo applys quite like minox . LOL man I spilt a bit of my chromo like you described the other day . was choked ... lost about 1/3 of the bottle ...still plenty to give it a good test tho . Keep me posted , ttyl

[Conpecia]

hey justeone, yeah i took a couple days off over the weekend to give my scalp a break. shedding still seems down! shed maybe 10 hairs today rather than the 40 or so i was shedding at the peak of my shed a couple weeks ago.

i'm going to be adding derma rolling to this in the next couple of days. if any of you guys haven't checked that out i HIGHLY recommend reading the trial we're going to begin at btt. here is my planned regimen by September:

1. minox 5% foam 1x daily, 6 days a week
2. derma rolling 1x weekly
3. CB 1x daily (depending on optimal dose, vehicle, etc., could be less frequent)
4. regenepure 2-3x weekly
5. i/c combo 1x daily, 6 days a week


I think this is a killer regimen. I'm attacking mpb from every known angle and boosting regrowth in the best way we know how to at this point.

I will stay on the above regimen (barring side effects) for 6 months. If my loss has not progressed in 6 months, I will book a fue hair transplant with Dr. Rahal, for a dense packing of the hairline. Then, I'll wait for the true cure, knowing that I've done everything I can and it's only a matter of time before superior treatments arrive.

Very excited for the next couple months guys.

yeah, man i wish i could still take finasteride! everything would be good to go. but hopefully cb works just as well with no sides!

[Dan26]

Con, what is the lowest dose of fin you have tried???

0.05mg/day reduces serum DHT by only 50% vs 70% like the other doses..I would definitely try that before dut if you were still considering it

[clandestine]

Debating whether to get on indo/chromo or CB premixed when iron dragon comes out with it. (Don't have the money for both).

Would like to try derma roller, but worry about RU going more systemic and exacerbating gyno sides when rolling.
