I've been on propecia for 9 months and, the shedding started in month 2, and still continueing...
I've never seen anybody shedding like 250 to 500 hair every day on this board. That's what I'm loosing.
Once a month or so, I rinse my hair in a bath tub after washing my hair and count them. Usually ther are more than 250 hairs in there.
Pretty depressing. I've been very patient for long time, hoping for a good regrowth after the shed but, the shed doesn't seem to be ending...
I had absolutely no sign of thinning on my crown befor I started taking finasteride 9 months ago but now, I'm very thin on the crown. Despite the fact that I'm losing so much hair every day, I am also surprised that I am not completely bald yet! Means I'm regrowing some hair?!
I really want to stop taking finasteride and, see if things improve. On the other hand, it will be such a waste to quit if I'm expecting a regrowth after this long shed.
My question is, is it possible for someone to be shedding (good sheddign for regrowth) for such a long time and expect improvemnt?"
That was a straight quote from male pattern baldness Thoroughbred, but as my situation is identical, i decided to use it.
So do you have any other advice than "just ride it out?"
