Well, I'm only 18 so I really should get on fin early, if it keeps progressing of course... Here a pic of my right temple:

You are balding my friend, see a dermatologist and get on rogaine and Propecia.

Yes, not that you convinced me of it but that's what my conclusion is as well after several months of monitoring it/comparing... Took my first fin pill today (1/4 5mg finasteride). I have a hard time cutting the pieces in 100% even, if I'd get say 1mg one day and 1.5mg the next would that have an effect on the hormone system negatively you think?

your head of hair looks GOOD. Hair loss isnt a concern for you right now but listen to the advice you get here.

I also have a hard time cutting it and had larger mg then 1.25mg but it hasn't effected me. I really don't think it will harm you either, just keep practing and you'll be able to cut the pill like a pro lol

Ok, I'll try to describe some mental side effects after the first pill (it might be placebo but I don't think so). First, it felt as I lost the steady mental buzz of androgens, making me slightly more anxious... Then, I felt an extreme increase in energy, well-being and thusly confidence, probably due to the increase in testosterone? Of course this sounds very much like placebo but I am assured it's not, it fits into my knowledge of how hormones affects you... what do ya think?

Quite honestly I'm 99.9% sure this is just your psych reaction. Honestly how often were you thinking about "what are my fx" ?? I bet quite a bit... take one and just forget about it then come post

Theoretically this is what you should feel when your dht decreases and testosterone increases dramatically isn't it? But I'll keep you posted...

Ok, my test levels have definitely sky-rocketed, I've been feeling full of energy, and VITALITY since last night I took the pill... If it is the case do you think the test levels will go down eventually, how does it work?

Hang on a minute - did you just start taking Finasteride based upon the comments of this forum and your own opinion (looking in mirror/pictures)? I hope you sought a professional opinion from a doctor who concluded it is male pattern baldness. You have to remember there are different forms of hair loss, and from what you have shown, it is difficult, if not impossible to tell whether you are even slightly thinning.

I've been monitoring my hair and read hair loss forums, research around the subject, effects of DHT etc for over a year, I'd say I know my stuff. I've been to a derm yes although they couldn't prescribe fin just minox. Any thoughts on the test levels question?

I think if you are like that at 18 then you are definitely on a fast track to being bald, luckily you are doing something about it now!! Don't worry, you have time on your side since you have barely lost anything.
