Yes, I'm a minoxidil user and I think that minoxidil is a pain in the ***... it works well for me, but I'd be lying if I told you it is something worth avoiding if the finasteride works for you instead. Given your situation I'd let the Propecia have a bit more time to do its thang.

nothing between those two pictures!!

On Medications like Minoxidil and Propecia over the course of a year your hair will (we hope) be gradually improving, but this proccess is not linear, that is to say it will rise and fall on a micro level, but over the longer term improve.

Take a look at the overall improvement in this example graph, now compare that to the change between mid-may and the start of july if you were to focus in on this small portion of the year you would think "sh*t!!!! it ain't working!!!"

It means nothing to pick out a 19 day period (as you have) and make any kind of judgement on this.

People with no male pattern baldness whatsoever may have a bigger natural fluctuation than you have shown in the photos.

This is why all the old wise wizards on this site like The Gardener, Cassin and HairLossTalk.com say give it a year.

P.S. ignore the Deaner spike at the start of the graph, we are getting our best scientists to look into this, it may be a computer glitch.
