If that's a NW3 then I'm NW9.
This won't end well.
You just have a mature hair line in my opinion.
If you're depressed because of this at almost 30 years old, you need counselling. And no, I'm not joking.
Are we going to have BDD threads like this everyday now?

Didn't mean to upset you Fred. I'm payed close attention to your case and glad you're making progress with your HT.
If it's not a NW3 what do you think it is then?
You're probably right about the counselling though man. I've tried it before for a whole bunch of things. This is just another thing to handle. How are you getting on mentally these days?

This is what a norwood 3 looks like. You are a norwood 2 which is a normal and mature hairline. Here's some advice, forget about your hair, excessive stress can definitely impact your hair, and take it from me, my hairloss began after numerous stress related incidences. On the bright side, let's say you do have AGA, since you are older it's most likely to progress at a much slower rate as compared to younger guys.

Bro do not listen to these guys...
It is clear as day you have recession and it is going to continue to get worse. For now just stick with fin about a year or two and if things stabilize look into an HT.
You are a tad past the point of just being a mature hairline, You're about right where I am, approaching nw3 ie thinning in that area but can probably cover it up ok (nw2.5).

I agree. I was on the big 3 for 14 months before I got my HT. Just being on the meds gave me hope and reduced stress. I've been dealing with my hair for 23 months. I wish I started treating this 5 years ago.
I would still consult 3 hair surgeons. Get options and record progress. Do not buy anything or schedule a HT. Knowing your doing something reduces stress.

Basically been creeping up on me that I've been losing my hair and have been in denial for the longest time. Wondering what to do? Obviously stand at the NW3V loss stage. 28 years old so probably too young for a HT. Just started on propecia (1 month in).
What hope do I have to ever recover? Time to just face the music (I don't think I can, don't think I can move on just yet)...Got the money for an op but wondering who to go with (booked in for Feruduni but also keen on Erdogan as he can add to the crown). Thoughts? 29 years old in December.
Been a large part of my depression for a while now but was depressed before this too. Digging deep for courage.

That's how it starts. How long before it's all gone you can never know for sure. Sometimes you can go from what you have to Norwood 5 in a year or two. Sometimes a decade or two. It's not at all bad right now, so I wouldn't go taking any drugs because the side effects can be nasty and possibly permanent.
