    Keep at it.
    That is awesome, I'm feeling really optimistic though, since i have alot of small hairs around the hairline and temples that weren't there before (atleast if i remeber correctly). When I get a little older I'm definitely going to try out fin or dut.

      Why don't you do the same? You can always order them online. Although if you did that, I would play it safe and go with brand name Proscar since you don't know where the stuffs coming from.
      I thought you had to be 18. Interesting. I live in Sweden, so I don't really know how I would go about getting it here, but yeah online would be an option. I'm a little afraid however that it might stop my beard from developing if i start fin before it's fully developed.. :P I'll do some research

          Är också från Sverige, boka bara en tid med läkare vid din vårdcentral och berätta läget, iaf så jag gjorde, han hade ingen aning vad propecia var men berättade att jag hade läst om det och ville testa, så han skrev ut recept.

            Jaså, så enkelt? Men är det inte åldersgräns på det? och piller för en månad kostar ju 500 kr.. :P får kolla upp det där lite mer men tack för svaret!

              Ah, jag bokade tid, drog dit berättade att jag hade börjat få håravfall och det ligger i släkten, visade håret och berättade vad jag ville ha för medicin, han kollade upp att medicinen var mot håravfall, sedan skrev han ut recept ah 500kr kan va lite segt men det bara skaffa något jobb på sidan om skolan så klarar du det. Skulle inte tro det är sådan stor grej om du är 17, du kanske behöver ha underskrift från förälder men annars ska det nog vara lugnt, mycket handlar dock om vad för läkare du får, vissa är ju mycket mer chill än andra, värt ett försök då propecia hjälper mycket! Iaf för mig hehe

                Well although there is no proof it does that, I guess in theory it makes sense. There's no way of knowing for sure.
                Of course, if you discontinue it, your beard should grow in.

                But what I do know is that I'd much rather have hair on my head than on my face.

                      So a bit over 4 months into minox treatment and shedding FINALLY seems to have started slowing down. I have seriously been considering getting on finasteride lately aswell. I want to slow down my hairloss as much as possible and it feels like i'm losing/thinning a bit on top aswell
