    Default Entering 7 months on Propecia

    Hey everyone. So I am 31 and started Propecia back in the beginning in September and entering the 7th month of it. I take 1mg a day and do Rogaine once a day as well.

    The thing is I have gone through a horrible shed in the past 4 weeks! I believe I had a moderate shed back in November, but then in December and January my hair looked okay. But since February (month 6) my hair has gotten crazy thin, it looks terrible.

    At the moment I am a NW3. However, while my hair has thinned out, I am starting to see some small hairs growing a little outside my receded hairline in the temporal areas. While I haven't seen hairs in different places (bed, pillow, etc) I have only noticed this shed through my horrible thinning hair.

    I am just curious, for those of you who went through massive sheds, when did you go through them? Also did you see little hairs growing like I did? Did those thicken and improve things greatly? Is that a good sign usually?

    I just hope this is a shed and things start thickening up soon. I am actually going to a HT for a free consultation to see what he says. Because if by month 12 no progress, not sure what I will do.

    I had a shed when I first started and then things got much better, lots of good re-growth, I was so happy! But then after about 8 months I started to shed again and thought it stopped working for me. I kept taking it anyway and it filled in again very nicely. I was worried like you are, but I think that is just normal. I haven't had another shed since.
