Don't really have a plan right now. I buzzed my hair over the summer. Thought it would be terrible at first but I've got to the point that I like the look now. So I'm not in a big urgency to do anything at the moment. I'm at the stage where I'm starting to come to terms with my hairloss.
Everything that is offered today has serious issues though:
finasteride/minoxidil -> side-effects
FUT/FUE -> scarring, limited donor
HST -> limited donor, thin recipient results
concealer -> high maintenance, social stigma
Honestly, I don't see a whole lot in the pipeline for the near future. Possibly CB. But I'll continue to follow the forums, and who knows, maybe something will pop up suddenly.

Have you tried RU?

Haven't tried RU, mainly because it's an anti-androgen so there's a strong potential for side-effects. I don't really want to play around with my hormones, regardless of the state of my hairloss. Doesn't help that the only place you could get it is sketchy online sources.

What about CB? Doesn't affect hormones.

Does CB even work with the vehicles we currently have? =/

That's basically my issue with it right now. We still don't have a proper vehicle and I don't entirely trust the online sources that are selling it. I'm not the type who likes to do a lot of experimenting until I hear more from the safety trials and other people's experiences on it. CB is a corticosteroid and a prominent side-effect of those is skin atrophy (thinning of skin). So I'm still concerned about that.
I'm definitely keeping a close eye on it though and it does have a lot of potential given that it shouldn't affect your hormone levels.
