I have been using minoxidil on and off for the last 6 weeks, I have little terminal hairs (seems to be growing with pigment very slowly though) i would have to say about 25 new hairs or so on each temple. It has to be the minoxidil in conjunction w/propecia because I was ONLY on propecia for 9 months, 2 years ago and I didnt have any hairs sprouting along my hairline but this time I do. Must be the minoxidil!!!
Well, ive been on the Big 3 for about 3.5 months and I noticed small white hairs filling in my temples after about a month. Now, I am noticing them getting much longer and they are starting to fill out and get some pigment. Now when I rub my temples, I can feel the hairs now, they are all growns up!! :lol:
In the direct sun light, you san see my whole hairline has tons and tons of white hairs all over it. My hope is that by Christmas, I will have some noticable regrowth.

No, but I got to my hairline way to late to imact it much (other than slow loss). If had the Big Three and spironolactone when I was 21, it might have been very different.

does anyone have pictures? and bruce, do you think im where you were at when you were 21 as far as my hairline goes? i cant see me being much better than you are now, i just want to make a decision on whether i should get some grafs to move my hairline up a bit, then just keep using propecia, ill probably try the 2 minoxidil bottles I have left and if i dont have any regrowth from that, i'll just get the minor surgery

It will most likely take you more then two bottles to see results and also becareful about approaching hair tarnsplants as a "minor surgery"

Newbies, this is a long game. Don't expect to see yourself ahead right out of the gates. It may take 4-6 months before you see any real results, so all I can say is don't quit and just keep to your regimen. I will attest to the fact that being committed to your regimen is very crucial. I HAVE seen the results, and all the hard work is worth it. I am so much further along today than I was 6 1/2 months ago. It's great. You cannot half *** this, or just try stuff out for a month. It does not work like that. I am just trying to help here, and give some encouragemnt to stick to your guns fellas.

Zak84,
Come on buddy, no need to take stabs. I am just trying to keep everyone on their gigs, and keep the level of follow through up here. We are all here with one common goal: to fight hairloss and achieve results. Sounds like you took the post a little to personally man. Additionally, I do not state false claims of success, I stand behind any and all things I post in this forum and will continue to do so. I don't post pics because I feel no need to validate my current successes.

Well you cant use my situation to compare. When I was 21 we had zero to use on male pattern baldness. I was in my 30s before we started using 2% minoxidil.
If it were me today and I was 21 (wouldn't that be nice!), I would be on the Big Three and spironolactone for the hairline, for at least 18 months before I planned a hair transplant. I would find a solid hair transplant MD and develop a long term strategy for a succession of hair transplants if that seemed indicated by my loss. Of course, that strategy would be modified by how well I responded to the drug therapy over time.
Hoped that helped.
Good luck

Each bottle should last one month assuming you use 1ML per appl.

Minoxidil alone may or may not get you hairline regrowth. WIthin the context of the Big Three, it is your best shot with no guarantees.
Personally I would add NANO shampoo and spironolactone on the hairline and you are doing what can be done.
