use good quality photos to assess your progress - NOT mirrors and memory.

Just stick with it man. It takes longer than 4 months to see improvement. I mean it can/does happen, but most say you dont see improvement from either of those treatments until 6 months to a year.

And I agree with the above poster. Take photos. Our minds/memories tend to not remember the details so well.

all i can do is just stick with it i suppose!

I have been treating for a little over 5 months now. After 2 months of treatment I had good improvement. I think I am back at baseline now if not worse.

i am kind of scared now that the finasteride isnt going to work for me! like i still have those miniturized hairs on both sides of my hairline so hopefully they will grow back to their normal thickness with the finasteride! i say a prayer every so often that it will work for me! its just worrying that after nearly 4 months of treatment, that there isn't a huge noticeable improvement!
