Hello i guess the balding progress in my family hit me too.
Im 26 yrs old and since 7-8 month my hair started thinning a lot specially at my crown.
I have a history of Androgenetic Alopecia in my family. My Dad is bald and it hit my older brother when he was 19. He took Propecia for 10 yrs but then quitted because he got married and didn't like the idea of taking a pill everyday although he was completely healthy. He told me that he had no side effects at all. His hair became thicker again and more healthier.
So 2 weeks ago i had my appointment with my dermatologist we took a couple of blood tests and checked other possible reasons why i lost my hair to be sure that i have Androgenetic Alopecia. I then told him that i lost a little bit of weight last year due exercising and a healthier diet. We talked about propecia and finasteride and he said that he first would recommend me minoxidil and would like to see me 6 month later with the results. I told him that im really concerned about my hair status because in my opinion i lost all the thickness my hair had before. My hair is ok now but no way a comparison to what i had at the end of last years summer. I told him that im really concerned that i will even loose more hair the next 6 Month and finasteride would be hopeless by then but he said that 6 Month would make no difference and we could hop on to finasteride. Well that was 2 weeks ago i have a new appointment next week with him where i want to say that i really would like to give finasteride a try now because i think loosing more time is no good.
So i know this is really hypothetical. But what do you think do i have a chance of growing back the hair i lost 7-8 Month ago or are they gone? I mean it would be even a huge success to maintain what i have but my Doctor said that i should not worry about that.
He told me that he working with this drug since when it came out and had really really good results with it and his patient.
So maybe some of you guys have an opinion on that. Would be great to hear from some experienced people.
Thanks a lot!
