Am I balding? What Norwood Level am I?

[RecedingFast]

Late twenties, been receding for about 8 years. I would really like some opinions about my hair loss. Where am I at on the Norwood scale?

I am finally going to the dermatologist soon. Does anyone know what I can expect regarding a hair-loss consultation? I would like to start taking Propecia.

My hair covers my forehead, but I am not sure how much longer I can maintain this style. Any gust of wind and the ruse is up. Should I quit concealing my hairline and just own it? I've had several people ask me to pull my hair back so they can see my hairline.

Any help is appreciated.

NW 2 and I believe You will respond to finasteride significantly. Good Luck.

Thanks. What makes you think I will respond well to finasteride?

Also, should I fear the potential side effects of the medicine, or is this overblown?

Does anyone else have a second opinion on my hair loss?

More like NW 2.5 or 3....You have no idea what will be his response to fina because no one does...
