Question about my upcoming procedure

[KO1]

^^Yo, Iker Casillas NEEDS to get on finasteride. Confidence is crucial for a goalkeeper. He's lost his spot, Spain got its ass kicked. This wont help his handling crosses, but he will have more hair.

I've liked the guy since he made his debut, but David De Gea may well be a better choice for Spain at this point.

As they say, you never know unless you try. If you've got mild hair loss, you may be able to get by with microdosing it - say 0.25mg/daily.

ill prob end up doing that after my hst

OK, herei s my "before" picture. This is just after I let it dry; I then comb it a little forward and part it on the side.

About time, listening to the bandwagon Spain fans is almost as annoying as Miami Heat fans and LeBron* James dickriders.

* Denotes championship due to shortened season, collusion, flopping as well as half the league's best players being injured thus creating the easiest path to victory known to man.

Or chicago blackhawks bandwagoners lol

They are so boring to watch as well!

Xavi, to Iniesta, to Xabi Alonso, back to Xavi, to Iniesta, back to Xabi Alonso...

I think Spain is awesome and I've loved watching them run over everybody, basically they just take the other team out of the game within the first few passes at their best.

But this is on Del Bosque. They haven't developed a successor to the aging Xavi, they wen with one defensive mid instead of two, they have better right backs than Arbeloa. Fernando Torres has no business starting for this Spanish side over Soldado...

How does Javi Martinez not start for Spain! They could have used this cup to blood Santi Cazorla, but no...

Spain is still the world's most talented team, but they need to do a far better job of integrating their rising talent and replacing their older guys...

Wow that's OT.

Yea Javi Martinez is quality, he should be starting for Spain. They still are the most talented team but other teams are catching up, and are working out how to play against them. I think Germany have a great chance of winning the world cup, they have developed so many top players...Goetze, Reus, ozil, schweinsteiger, mueller

im retrying propecia.

gonna do spex's transition thing.. but im only gonna transition to .5 dose and not 1 right away

do you think i could get away with a MWF dosage? or.. if i do that would you think i'd need to go for a 1mg MWF dosage?

listening to you.. seeing from front area thinning and seeing the spex/spencer comments on it... im just gonna give it another try. i never even gave it a chance from the get go and if i can prevent further loss and get this hst.. i could hold on to my hair for the next 10 years until "the cure" comes out..

Can you link the transition thing please, I did see it ages ago.

I'm thinking along similar lines to yourself, twice a week or mwf, good luck whichever road you go down.

Thanks man. I'm pretty much seeking to take a lighter dosage of propecia or just take it less often. Whichever works.

If it works I'd like to take MWF .5 dose. Thing is, I think DHT inhibition is a bad thing. DHT serves a lot of purpose to the body.. just one effect of it is hair loss which sucks

I think if you can find a good balace... inhibit it enough to stop hair loss but not totally.. you can diminish much of the side effects... its really about finding a good dosage.

DHT seems necessary to an extent.. but I wonder how much you can inhibit before it goes bad. Enough to keep hair? I think thats the key. And it's all independent.. person to person.

im like you.. scared shitless to take fin... but the thing is I never gave it a chance.

Also - noticing thinner hairs deeper on my head. And I was trying to tell if this means i will def go past NW3...

These hairs could be hairs that are growing in and are new (as in the fell out from natural cycle and are coming back in) or they are definitely miniaturizing. I cannot tell because my losss thus far is only in the front hairline area..

but if I can prevent it now I will. And if I take fin and my hair comes back thicker I will know my pattern.. and I will also be able to see if I am able to respond well to fin.

I hope i'm lucky and I respond well. and sooner better treatments come out.. so I only have to stay on it for a bit.

I'm scared but im gonna give it a try and just monitor the situation. I've gotten libido issues before and it was in my head.. I wasnt on any drugs... so I know how the mind can work. I'll be able to tell if its the fin or not. Also alcohol is huge for libido.. and erections.. it can kill your dick in an instant. people dont realize that.

so yeah, taking the plunge man. just gonna figure out a good dosage. I wanna do the smallest dosage I can to prevent further loss because I dont have a lot of loss besides the hairline as of now.

[Jcm800]

I hear you mate, well let us know what you decide to do, I'll be going down the road soon myself but I'm also scared shitless, gotta weigh things up with an educated guess and get on with it eh

No one really knows what you can get away with, I would start with 0.25mg EOD and see what happens, then move to ED then 0.5mg ED and over the course of 1-2 mos you end up taking 1mg daily. If you hit resistance due to sides, lower dosage and continue.

Or you could just take you know, the recommended dosage.

I think it is amusing how different attitudes we have. I was excited as hell to start taking this drug. Finally I was going to take actual medication proven to stop hair loss by addressing the root problem! In fact reading about the sides and how this is supposed to mimic pseudoherms made me even more excited about the drug. "This is potent s**t....nice....."

However it was very anticlimactic, no sides, just overall mild maintenance/slowing down of loss.
