Well its been 3 short months on the big 3 and I do have to say my hair is much better than it has been before I started treatment. It looks like I am no longer losing large amounts of hair. When I shampoo in the shower, I usually only get about 4 or 5 hairs compared to 15-18 hairs lost before the big 3. I have noticed that my anterior midline of my scalp has thickened up. I can no longer see my scalp when the light or the sun hits it in that area. I had a scare about 3 weeks ago when I went on vacation. I was in the pool and in the ocean for the most part. I noticed a bald spot in my vertex area appearing. The chlorine or the saltwater had to have had an effect on my hair texture because after I got back from vacation, the bald spot wasnt even noticeable or dare I say it "Gone!"



Month 1= decrease of libido, still had and maintained erections. Big time shedding from the minoxidil in the front temple regions in the first week or so. I cut back to once a day because it was a bit inconvenient applying it twice a day. I also made sure that I only applied the minoxidil to the slick balding areas of my temples. I made sure that no excess minoxidil dripped down into other parts of my scalp that already have had hair. This reduced the shedding dramatically. New non-pigmented vellus hairs appearing everywhere along the hairline. Three weeks into it and 5 or 6 pigmented hairs sprouted out on my right temple.

Month 2= decrease of libido, didnt get any worse or better, same as month 1. Hair is thickening up in the vertex and mid-scalp areas. Another 8 or 9 new terminal hairs on the left temple.

Month 3= major increase in libido, erections! Must be the l-arginine and centrum i started back in late month 2. Plus I started exercising regularly and a good diet. Hair seems to be filling in nicely. Looks thicker than ever. Sunlight on the scalp isnt a problem for me anymore in the vertex or mid-scalp areas. Temples still need some work but they are growing 2 or 3 new hairs a week along the hairline. The future is starting to look bright.

Month 4= Looking forward to regrowth in the temple regions. Going to be applying minoxidil 2x day from now on. Propecia doesnt do much for the hairline unless you use it with minoxidil. I was taking propecia by itself about 1.5 years ago. (I stopped then started over 3 months ago) Did a good job on halting my hairloss but never grew anything on my hairline. I dont care what anyone says. Minoxidl has the ability to grow hair on your hairline. Thats it!

Shivs - congratulations on the success. You may experience more shedding anywhere between now and month 11. Expect it, and ride it out like you did the first one. Things should look even better after the second shed so get excited when you see it because afterwards you should be doing even better. :)

Right on man. I hope I get to see some success, I caught my thinning really early.

Sounds good. Just one thing though, centrum and finasteride have high risk drug interactions. I started using centrum and then checked if fina and centrum interacted with each other and realized that it was the centrum and finasteride combo that made me start feeling odd. Check out Costco.com for more info.
