hi Spex, I'd really appreciate your opinion on this. Do you recommend against somebody having a transplant if they are not on propecia? I have been on propecia for 11 days in preparation for a transplant in a few months time, but i'm experiencing side effects (dull ache in testicles, quite persistent for the last week or so). I was on propecia for a few months 8 years ago and had the same side effects. I planned to give the drug a go, or lower the dosage, but i think i should stop immediately. Opinion seems mixed as to whether a transplant would be advisable in this situation
