Veteran losing ground: Fin to Dut? Niz 1% to 2%? Other?

[Nyhair19]

Hi all,

New to the forums but have been active in the online hair loss community for 12 years. I am 30 and got on "the big three" when I was about 21. I have held up very well over the past 9 years, but over the last few years I have noticed that I have been losing ground. Specifically, I have a bit more thinning around my hairline than I have had and a small birthmark is less covered by hair than it used to be.

I am wondering if it is worth it to try to move from Fin to Dut or to increase from Niz 1% to Niz 2%? Or perhaps try something else? I have dabbled with other things in the past, like emu oil, shampoos, and even other things, but none were effective and some gave me sides.

I could also perhaps just stay the course and if things get really bad consider an HT, but right now I am about a NW 2.5, which both of my parents are, so I still have a lot of ground to lose before really considering an HT.

Edit: It looks like I posted about this five years ago on this forum. I completely forgot! Nonetheless, I am still losing ground; definitely am worse off than I was five years ago. Hope this doesn't count as a double post!

Thoughts would be much appreciated. Cheers!
