I took the Propecia Plunge

[ThinningB420]

Testicle ache is gone, I think the pain is because I haven't had a nocturnal emission in awhile.

Only had the testicle ache that one day. I think it was because I have been spending time with a girl and had increased erections but no ejaculations so that was built up. Things are back to normal.

I gave in after meeting with my dermatologist last week. After six months on minoxidil with more diffuse thinning than before I started the treatment I've decided to try finasteride. I picked up my prescription for $8 and cut my 30 5mg finasteride pills. I took the first one tonight. I will continue to take the drug for at least year and will have to drop it once I get married as my derm said I probably should not be on fin if I'm going to have a child. Therefore, after marriage I will have to be off the drug.

I will post my results as time goes on.

Just to let you know, a very new study has shown long term finasteride use can make men infertile.
As far as I understand it can creep up on you without any other side effects.

Worth getting a sperm count test at the very least.

Sorry, I'm not married and it's against my religious beliefs to intentionally ejaculate outside of marital relations. I'll risk the infertility as the tests I had done were normal before I started fin.

Your nuts must be on mega swell.

I respect every religion or belief, but a good ejaculation once on a while probably would relief that ball pain iirc.

wait...no masturbation or intercourse? You my friend are a SAINT.

Good cause I don't want to have more children.

Another update:
I've been on fin for almost four months now. I have no side effects as of now. I have noticed some growth in my hair line. It's not great but it is new hair. Once I finish this bottle for the 4th month I will post a picture. Sheds are a little less than before but I never really shed a ton in the first place except for initially with Rogaine. Honestly, if the existing hairs would thicken up I would be very happy. I'm not asking for new hair but it is a nice bonus to see it growing.

This is all I want, man. Keep the hair I have. I have enough to frame my face and it's not see-through up top. Hell, I even like my receded hairline a bit.

Excited to see your 4-month pics.

Best.
