RegretNot's story (photos and results included)

Hi everyone

I'm 20 years old. I'm not newbie at hairloss battle. Forgive me, if sometimes my english will be bad. I will do the best I can.

My adventure with balding (surely male pattern baldness) had it's beginning when I was 15. There was first signs. Since then I have dense facial and body hair, but nothing abnormal with it- just high testosterone level.
I have never could grow long hair, which was my dream

In the past it was all because of weak hairline. Hair didn't grow longer than 2-3 cm, only few of the front. The rest from all over head surface was ok.
When I was 17 I visited a skin doctor. He told me about propecia, minoxidil and inneov homme (grape extract). So I started my treatment: Inneov + minoxidil 5%. I was an amateur and foolish. I saw positive results, because I wanted to see them. But nothing really has happened. I gave this treatment one year, but it was discontinuous (especially it was bad decision for minoxidil).
The winter of 2009-2010 was the worst for my hair.
In March of 2010, I had registered on one site and decided to start with generic of propecia (1,25mg finasteride daily) and also back to minoxidil 5%. Effects just were amazing like on photos below.
I was maintaining them with no other changes. Hair has become dense, but hairline still didn't want to grow properly. I realised that my hair are miniaturised. So then I started to search for improvement. I added nizoral. It gave me nothing noticeable (I still use it).
Now my story accelerate. In 2010 I tried also:
*one month xandrox15% - nothing for +, only glued hair.
*zinc 15mg
*green tea
*mixed even flutamid into minoxidil - nothing

In 2011:
*Folligen spray to boost minoxidil = nothing
*miconazole = nothing
*atrederm = nothing but maybe decreased number of dht receptors

2 months ago (too short to be objective)
*dermaroller= guess only hurt and greater heartbeat after minoxidil and folligen.
*biotin 2,5mg daily
*zinc 25mg daily
*lysine 1500mg daily to boost finasteride

Three months ago something failed. It's probably DHT upregulation. Quite soon, because only after 1,5 year of treatment. I back to starting point. From two weeks I don't take finasteride and minoxidil any longer. I hadn't noticed greater shedding.
From these three months I suffer increased miniaturisation on front sides. Line went back. I don't know good words in english to explain it. Pictures will explain everything.

I really don't know what to do. I have nice shaped head and face to be bald, but I want to have hairs :sobbing: My balding is so agressive. If I was sure about hair clonning in next 5 years, the hurt would be smaller. But there are many voices, that this is only the same what companies told years ago. Wish the cyotcol was available
