5mg Finpecia ordered, pill cutter bought -- it's time

[BigThinker]

I've never tried it myself but It's made out the same ingredients, so it should work, then again I am not 100% sure . Do some research before buying, go to other hair loss forums. That's what I did before switching to proscar.

I did just that. Sounds like it's just as good. No more worrying from me. Just wait and see if it works.

Good luck, mate. Hopefully you can maintain since you can rock the side-part look quite well. I know how frustrating this can all be. I'm on the edge of ordering duta since I REALLY want to stop my hair loss now and possibly regrow. If I recede any further, I won't be able to style my hair as I always have.

I got a question good sir,

Do you shed a lot or some what around your hairline and temple area?

I got a question good sir,

Do you shed a lot or some what around your hairline and temple area?

I've always had a big forehead and my temples have been non-existent for as long as I can remember. I'm basically not shedding much anymore. I can shake my finger tips through my entire scalp as hard as I can and only have 2-3 fall. The hairs that fall are typically very light in color by the bulb, but normal color otherwise. The hair behind the hairline is very light and blonde towards the bulb, like the hairs fall out.

My hairline has been creeping back for 1.5 years I would estimate, based on pictures. And, I can't foresee it stopping. Currently, about 1/4th to 1/2th an inch from the hairline and back is incredibly thin - especially on the side that I aggressively part it (left side, see picture above). So, I've come to the conclusion combing my hair on that side has expedited the receding process and/or I'm receding asymmetrically (which I've read is rather common).

I have no diffuse thinning behind the "frontal lobe", and the diffusion is worse towards the front, getting gradually "better" towards the back. From what I've read, http://www.*****************/hair-los...ontal-hair.pdf, fin might save my frontal lobe.

I'm not thinning like my father (aggressive NW7 - bald by 27, or so) and I'm nothing like my maternal grandfather (NW1). I've noticed, recently, that my hair loss is damn near identical to my paternal Grandfather when he was slightly younger than me, as well as my paternal uncle. If my hair follow suit with them, it'll be the same M shape that gradually keeps moving backwards (maintaining the M) until NW5-6. My paternal uncle is in his early 50's and has froze at about an NW 5.

We were looking at old pictures at Christmas, and I saw a picture of my paternal grandfather with hair loss JUST like mine, except at an NW3-4, and my grandmother estimated he was 25-27 years old (after I inquired). It's funny how when we get self-conscious about balding we begin analyzing everyone else hair.

Thank you for the reply BigThinker. My hairline has been creeping has well and it sucks but FIN has alter it. So far, I only shed about 5 hairs when I shower which is better then 15 hairs a couple a weeks before. Ha true, I also analyzes every ones.

You bet, bud. Yeah, my hair shedding is naturally slowing down on, but the old hairs aren't coming back - time to intermittent, low-dose it with fin.

Yo guys. Fincar 5mg just got here.

I cut it into 8ths, which was surprisingly easy, and popped the first one without thinking twice (0.625 mg).

I've taken baseline pics and stored them on my comp, but for the purposes of this forum I will be treating the pics on the original post as baseline.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm that's about it.
