I started Propecia in the second week of March 2004. I am coming up on 6 months.
I have had about 2 comments about my crown-loss, and that is 2 too many. When there is a problem, I want to solve it the best I can (hey, I'm a consultant ). That is why I am on Propecia.
While reading this site and learning about hair loss, I realize my temples are a bit receded. It looks just like a normal "widows peak" and is easily disguisable.
So I just read on the Propecia site that 6 months "you should be noticing a decrease in hair loss."
Does that mean shedding? I thought shedding wasn't hair loss. How am I supposed to tell if Propecia is working to maintain, if I wasn't losing hair at a fast pace to begin with? I just took a shower, and as I have been doing for a while, I have been "counting the hairs" each time. I know this is bad, but this is how I am trying to measure my progress.
It seems to me like I am losing the same in the shower as I was at the start of treatment...now is that just "regular shedding" or am I not a responder? I just want it to maintain..and if it makes my crown a little fuller...that is great. But how am I supposed to know? Any help appriciated.
Also...I am/was growth hormone deficiant. I got off of HGH in 1999, when I was 17. I am 22 now. My doctor said I know longer needed to continue the treatment (getting shots everyday is a pain in the ***) so I was happy. But then I realized, what if HGH has something to do with hairloss...does anyone know.
Thanks for reading.
