Let me start with some background. I am 19 and started college last semester. I had had pretty thick hair all my life with mild thinning the last couple of years and slight recession on one side. I began noticing what seemed to be accelerated thinning in October of last year. It got considerably worse in November-Decemeber. I started finasteride (generic propecia) on Jan 1. I noticed no considerable change until about two weeks ago I began shedding slightly less hair. However, my hair is much thinner now than it was two months ago and my hairline has taken a hit and the other side has started to recede very slightly. Is this heavy shed normal for the first 2 months and is it likely that I regrow/recover shrunken and lost follicles from the last several months?
Also I have noticed considerable body hair shedding since I began finasteride, which I assume is due to lower DHT levels.
