You have a good regimen and those sheds are a sign that your follicles are ready to start producing "better" hair. WAIT IT OUT. 6 months is a minimum. Results can show up after as much as one year. JUST WAIT IT OUT.
In the meantime, don't be tempted to do a hair transplant as much much better treatments are right around the corner.
Here is something to motivate you:

http://replicel.com
http://aderansresearch.com
http://follicabio.com
I'm sure one of them WILL have something by 2015.

Nah, its not par for the course.
More like back to back double bogeys by a pro golfer at the ProAm.
It happens even to the best, but definitely not that often.

A couple of things...
Norwood 2 is just a mature male hair line. This is a natural and normal male trait. This is one of the physical characteristics that differ between males and females. I'm not sure if there is anything a male can do to prevent the mature male hair line from developing. Time will tell. If the hair in your hair line grows back 12 to 18 months from now we will know.
You have only been on the medicine for four months. It takes at least 12 full months before you will know if Finasteride is working for you. It takes longer before you will know how well it is working for you.

That's true, but if he has frontal thinning, then that's not part of a mature hairline. From what the OP describes though, it sounds like he caught it early. If he can thicken things up at the front, a thick NW2 at 30 isn't bad at all.
