Im 33... began noticing my hairline receding a bit and getting a little thinner than usual (always had thin hair anyway) when i was 25...but i thought i was imagining it...bought 2% minoxidil anyway when my sister confirmed it- she def said i was receding... minoxidil showed immediate and good results, even there... the younger you are the better.... i didnt realize right away you had to stay on it to keep your growth.... eventually, i had to go to 5%-- around 27 or 28 years old.... more receding had taken place by then regardless.... at about 29- my hair starded thinning, thought maybe it was an account of some stress in my life-- but this could be a myth...?... over the next 3 years, it has been dramatic....i have really thinned out over the past year- really even the past few months in the crown and top...now it seems like every time i look in the mirror theres a different and balder man that ive never seen before there (how did i not notice him earlier?) maybe i should have looked closer ha ha... i wonder if its too late i went to a hair transplant surgeon and he said its real early but i will end up being a 4 or 4a soon, esp on account of the pattern, and that ive been using a testosterone gel-hormone deficiency- doctor prescribed, natural side effect, lucky me...i dont know what to do now i started propecia this last month and ive used procerin on and off the past year w some decent results and am trying something similar any ideas im at my wits end... trying not to panic but dont know what else to do....

I think you're doing everything you reasonably can - Propecia, minoxidil (5%, please), nizoral and stay on them this time. Try adding a proven topical, spironolactone or Tricomin.

The thing to do now is not to obsess and get stressed out over it. That's a tall order but just let the Big 3 regimen do the work and make an inspection every couple of weeks. Stay busy.

I hope it works for you.
