    Estimation. Also on 1mh propecia makes it easier than the 5mg generic. quarter it to .25, then .25 in half to .115(roughly) then cut that in half as best you can and take the smaller piece which gets your roughly 0.006 to 0.010. Not exact but better than not trying to get as small as you can.

    To BigThinker: Getting a HT is still my goal, eventually. I hate the idea of going bald, I will never accept it. I have a BA and I refuse to go back to the university as a bald man, no ****ing way. I will never want social exposure like I used to. I just decided I'd rather live as horny baldman with a rich sexlife than as a lifeless insecure man trying everything to feel attractive to compensate for his thinning hair. If someday I can get my hair back I'll change my plans. Sure people will notice I did something about it and I will be embarassed with a few friends but they'll get over it and I'll be able to live again as a top of the food chain atractive man which I think I can be, sorry about the Highlander mindset. People like us are perfectionists and even if I admit I could tolerate fin(libido was low but bearable) it's no longer worth all the hassle, a Norwood 3 takes a lot of styling and it still looks like shit under the light.

    As I'm typing this I have a raging hard-on it's funny how I decided to drop the fin when my libido went up these days, it had the opposite effect on my relationship with propecia I realized I am not living to my full potential because I remember how CRAZY I would get just two years ago. Nothing age-related I was 24 when I started and I'm 26 now.

    I started propecia after a knee surgery, I remember waking up the night after the operation in pain, the nurse came to check and I had to jerk off as soon as she left because she was sexy enough to drive me so horny despite my pain and trouble to clean up. Before Propecia I was into call girls and all of my disposable income was burnt in prostitutes.

    I got on fin, and felt like I needed to secuce because I had an expiration date coming up. I became all about slaying ***** and I had really impressive results for someone who wasn't that good in the first place. But it didnt come from my sex drive, it was mostly out of boredom, wanting to be adventurous and play mind games. Now I have proven to myself that I could pick up women I am left with half a dozen decent looking regular partners(I work in the night club scene this is the secret) but I really don't fully enjoy them deep inside.

    I remember the raging horniness, the burning desire to ****, and it's gone. Is it because of fin or because ***** has become something a lot easier to access now?

    Back on the original topic, the official study says original DHT levels are back after a couple weeks.

    I read about PFS. This is scary but it seems rare and I believe there are a lot of hypochondriacs out there.

    back from the hairdresser: the sad thing is that I actually really like my new haircut!

    I will wait at least three weeks off the propecia to decide anything, if my newfound sexdrive makes my life so much fun I wont give it a second thought!

    I'll keep fighting hairloss no matter what, with minox only if I realy get a surge of sexdrive that I want to keep or I'll get back to my regimen if things don't seem much different!

    Day 6: Started to feel as if my thoughts were more clear, a surge of optimism. I remember skipping fin for a week last year due to some prescprition problems and feeling better mentally.
    Been abusing porn and ****ing a girl three times in one hour as well, so much for someone who's main motivation is to recover his libido! I have erections during the night but not when I wake up. But I cum three times a day. So far my libido is about the same no sudden change I havent turned into a raging sleazebag like I was before fin. It should take a couple more weeks but I'm so looking forward to it.

    I have been taking homemade ZMA (Zinc magnesium and vitamin B6) for a week. I sleep better I had already tried that years ago.
    I don't work during the week(bouncer on weekends) so I spend my days browsing the internet and I started to get interested in concealers such as topikk and dermatch.
    I had another job last year that was very social, and I would never be able to work in that kind of environment again as a bald man, I'll be too self-conscious, so I think besides continuing Rogaine and living really healthy I'd like to add a concealer if I get another job, not for going out though, this is not about women it's about liking my own image at work.

    I'm on the verge of buzzing myself, starting to be a pain in the arse styling it. Big step tho as used to longer messy back and sides.

    I'm getting realy exited about trying topikk but to be fair my density is alright maybe when things get worse due to my discontinuation of fin, and it seems topikk works best on diffuse thinners. I really would love to enjoy a full head of hair outside of my close social circle. I'd wear a hat half of the time, topikk when I go out or to work depending on the job, and wouldnt give a damn about my MPB with my mates and family.

    But then again, if I am disapointed by the increase in sex drive I am expecting I'll get back on fin. I give it about one month.

    I hear ya, bro. I started wearing my hair like I used to, flipped back and parted so my "mature hairline" is showing. It feels like I'm embracing what I've been handed, similar to the dudes who just cut all their hair off.

    Me and my roomie had a double date last that that ended superbly. There's something about just owning your physical appearance that just makes you radiate confidence. Couple that with some gin and tonics, and it's a wrap.

    Still going to start fin though.

    Day 10:

    I have spontaneous boners all the time, not sure it is the dht coming back yet because my dick felt numb as ever dring sex yesterday night. Good sexdrive overall, but nothing crazy so far. Still waiting and being patient.
    I migh feel a slight increase or it's just a good day! I have been experiencing similar days when I was using fin though. Hope I'll be a raging hornball in one week.
    I don't know if I'm ready to give up on my looks it still hurts. I will order some topik shortly.
