6 Months On Finasteride = Hairline Receded Back A Full Norwood

[badhabiz]

sometimes problem is, your hair are falling and you self diagnosed androgenetic alopecia.
but there are several patterns that lead to hairloss.
dht level is not a reliable source in order to get to know your hormones lev, check androstenedione and sexual precursors (which are less fluctuant) and if its low as well, i would investigate other causes

My derm diagnosed me with classic male pattern baldness.

First of all, shave your f*****g head.
Get a blood test and tell us what your testosterone/estrogen levels are while on finasteride
Get on Dutasteride.

Not really very helpful but okay. Lol.

Does the hair on the top, front grow anymore?

I checked my dht and its below the normal range.

Estro and test i should check

I have no idea

 

[ScaredOfBalding]

What the f*** on earth are u taking pictures with?

 

[Hairicane]

I have no idea

My hair is somewhat like yours but thicker. I know that when hair is nearly done it stops growing, do I grew mine out for three months. Looks like sh*t but I found out it does still grow like a MFer.

Just completed 9 months as of today. Hoping the sheds I've been having produce bigger hairs in 2-3 months. Shedding seems to be lighter than a month ago

 

[Jpon541]

I swear I've lost more hair in the last 3 months than ever before..

Are late sheds normal and do the hairs come back?

They say wait a year to see proper results but it does look like you are continuing to lose ground. Temples are hardest place to hit though. You might be non responder.

Should ask dermatologist for dutasteride and oral minoxidil.

Oral min? Interesting. My derm got me duta i just haven't taken it yet.

How's the safety of oral min?

 

[ScaredOfBalding]

Time to get on estradiol @Yar ?

 

[Jpon541]

Time to get on estradiol @Yar ?

Is this oral? And if so, will i get gyno from it?

Was thinking of just switching to dutasteride. 9 months and i slowly recede back each week.. makes no sense.

Before finasteride my hair loss was wayyyyy slower

 

[Jpon541]

I FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM.

So like 5 months prior to finasteride i was using minoxidil on the crown, and the hairline for 2 of those months. I stopped shortly after starting finasteride.

No wonder I've shed so much...

Did i permanently ruin my chances? Or will i eventually grow hair with the finasteride

It won't grow back, minoxidil and finasteride work in very different ways. For best results you should be using both.

But why am i still losing if i stopped like 7 or 8 months ago?

It won't grow back, minoxidil and finasteride work in very different ways. For best results you should be using both.

So the minoxidil grown hairs won't come back. But what about the other hairs i had prior to min?

 

[Jpon541]

So I've pretty much lost 40% of my hair in the last month. What is going on........
