    Default My progress with the big 3. (with pics)

    Hiii, so here's the deal. I'm 19 years old and I'm about a nw 2.5 and have significant thinning on top of my head compared to the sides and back. I've been on Nizoral and Rogaine since April 2014. I started 1mg fin in May so I'm nearly 4 months in.

    Picture 1 was taken about a week ago, picture 2 was taken 4 months ago, picture 3 was taken about a week ago, and picture 4 was taken last december before any treatments.
    As you can tell it looks like my hairline is slowly beginning to fill in, however I still feel like I'm losing an abnormal amount of hair when I run my fingers through it. I may switch to Dut. Anyone else got an opinion? Should I wait it out for a year? Want to stop losing hair when I run my hands through and also want the top to thicken!

    Looks like you're definitely thickening up at the hairline! Encouraging progress to say the least. I'm the same age as you and very similar hair loss maybe slightly less and am thinking about propecia, have you had any side effects at all?

    Thanks man! No sides really. I went through about a week where it was a little harder to get it up than usual, but it went away pretty quick. Other than that nothing. I'm still a little concerned though. Coming up to four months of being on fin and whenever I run my hands through my hair or shampoo my hair, I still end up with loads of strands. very confusing!

    If you're contemplating it though I would definitely advise you to go on fin. If you get sides just stop. No big deal. It's basically the our biggest hope.

    Wait it out... You have to give it more time. You are doing well as of right now, shedding is not necessarily a negative reaction.

    I'm not sure if it is actually a shed though? Or if I'm just losing the same amount of hair as I was before fin? Regardless, I see some gains. So I'm confused!

    Gains is a positive sign, shedding is a positive sign if your seeing gains. Carry on being consistent and your gains should only get better.

    Thanks man. That's made me feel better. I think I'm seeing gains. Not sure if it's a shed or not, but I'm going to keep going with it.
