Hello good people. Recently, I've been noticing a thinning of sorts around the front of my head. This has led me to closely examine my hair and I've seen that there is a thinning occurring in the front of my head which I was not aware of before. To keep a long story short, baldness isn't really a common occurrence with many members of my family, as both my mother and father's side have males with full sets of hairs, even my grandpas manage to keep their hair, although they receded a bit with age. My father is the only exception, as he began balding shortly around his mid 30's and now looks like NW5 or 6, give or take a couple a hairs. And while I love my dad, I rather not follow in his footsteps and keep my current hair as is, or if I'm lucky, get back what I lost, if any.
So this is why I'm here, I have yet to try any regimens or pills of any form, but I am ready to take the plunge and bite this thing in the bud before it grows into a more noticeable problem. After countless readings of forums and medical sites as well as control testing, I've been wanting to give dutas a try, mainly for two reasons. One is that they seem to be most potent pills available at this time and I rather try them out instead of wondering whether or not switching from finasteride is a good idea. Two, because me being a college student, my funds aren't that big and seeing as certain members of this and other forums have seen improvement in their hair by just taking 2 or 3 duts a week, it would benefit me greatly by prolonging them for quite a bit instead of shelling out about 100 dollars every three months. Of course, I am still open to ideas as I have not begun anything yet, but I rather start sooner then later. The side effects still have me nervous, but I am willing to try and see if I might be a good responder.
I've attached a couple of pictures that show you the type of hair I have and hopefully give an idea as to how to proceed from here.

Forgot to mention, I've always had a weird hairline as my right temple recedes a bit more then my left.
