    Will take about 4 - 6 months to notice any progress with minoxidil... Stay on it for a while before upping the %.

    I agree with the other posters. I would not up the dose until you give it at least 6 months. If you see progress with that then I would still keep the does low for convenience and cost sake. If you're not already doing so I would try a DHT blocker in conjunction with the Rogaine.
