Rogaine before transplant

[canuhandleit]

Hey guys, I'm a 23 year old male who has started receding for the past 2 years. Thick hair otherwise - and easy to conceal hair loss, or even showing the recession it looks mature (for now). I can tell it's going to continue going past this level since it is actively doing so - and both my maternal/paternal side have balding. Though, it's very slow on my dads side and stops at NW3-4A (which is much better than NW6-7 on moms side). I am probably currently a NW2 - or well not completely a NW2 yet.

Anyways, I am thinking of using Gho to restore my hair as needed. I am willing to do as many treatments as it takes as well.

However, I have not used Rogaine yet. Do you think I should try Rogaine first? I have heard it can help maintain hair/hairline/vertex for a few years. I have tried fin - side effects were no good and I get the feeling it sped up my hair loss process after I stopped.
