    Default Shock loss

    Hello all,

    I am new to the forum and have a question.

    I had a trasplant about a month ago. I went to Bosley in Atlanta. I just discovered this site so I guess I am an ignorant balding 29 year old.

    I started Propecia about 5 weeks ago and had the procedure the following week. I am experiencing quite a bit of hair loss in addition to the transplanted hairs.

    I have read that many men will experience non-transplanted hair loss. How long should I expect the hair to keep falling out? I used to find about 3 hairs in my hand when I showered. Now I find upwards of ten to fifteen. Is this something to be concerned about or is this normal? How long should I expect this to last? I have read that I should grow this back but I am really starting to notice thinning at a rapid rate at the middle and top of my head.

    I am 29 and really started to thin over the last year but it wasn't very obvious. I just wanted to jump ahead of the loss before it is obvious in hopes of others not finding out. I had about 1500 grafts to fill in my front which is where most of the loss occured and scattered throughout my middle and top.

    Overall I am pleased with the recovery. My scar is not noticable so I am happy about that. I did experience swelling but it went down after about 5 days.

    I really appreciate this forum.

    I look forward to the responses.
