Yeah but you said the same thing about fin. OVerall, I think fin and RU will keep you in good stead.

Blood tests are the only way I know of. But check out the wikipedia article on hair loss, it lists many possible factors, even things like excess vitamins.
However most cases of male hair loss are MPB. I only brought it up since your loss pattern seems completely diffuse.
Technically it is possible that you could make gains in the next several months. My fin results peaked around the 15 month mark or something like that, but then again I definitely was seeing results before 11 months.
Dutasteride might be worth trying.. I recommend brand name Avodart but is is an expensive treatment compared to fin.

I have tried Avodart for one month then crazy shedding hit me.. I shocked about the massive shedding and had to stop... I think i should wait one more year

i see the bit of thinness you are concerned about, even though you still have a great head of hair and hairline
propecia and minox can cause an initial shedding but this will return stronger than ever
MINOX will most definitely cause a massive shed in the first year
propecia 1 pill a day
and
minox 2x a day
consistency is the key
the minox is a pain though
although now they have a foam base which you can use as mousse
don't worry
from the look of your hairline, this is just a blip you are going through

I quit fin for this very reason. My hairloss was not bad at all, so I started fin so it would stop my hairloss and I would still have plenty of hair. In the 6months on fin I lost more hair than I ever lost over the 3years before that I started to notice hairloss. Lost a ton of ground due to huge shedding. After I stopped my hair seemed to thicken back up some, but the damage was already done. I would stop fin now cause its not going to get any better. Some people just don't react well to the hormone changes and it speeds up your mpb it seems

How long did you use and how long have you been off? Did you recover the sheds from finasteride?

I would have just stuck with it. At 4.5 months in myself, I understand your frustration, but I still think it deserves a full 12 months.
Regardless, I'm about to add dut once a week. If I am having reflex hyperandrogenecity, then I'll probably nuke myself bald. Either way, I was headed there one pace or another.

shedding is not necessarily bad guys, i'd reccomend you ride out a shed rather than just getting off the drug! It could definitely mean your hair is cycling back to normal again!
anyway to OP, stay on fin.
maybe try out indo/crom or CET if you wanna experiment with some PGD2(they seem fairly safe).

baldnotbeautiful, this is off topic, but did you end having PRP + Acell done with Dr. Cooley? If so, anything to report?
