Wow. My hair is very very light blond, so any loss of density that I had on the sides is somewhat difficult to tell, as that was always almost white. I am pretty sure that it has thinned compared to baseline, just from examination and feel. I find it really, really doubtful that Propecia...

I think that the increase in testosterone could be related, but who can tell? The evidence regarding shedding and regrowth is something that people would be really helped by. I think that is what is missing on the site. If you knew that it wasn't coming back you would quit and if you knew...

You know, I think that a year from now the two of us will be able to say definitively if it was worth it. Either the shed hair comes back or it doesn't. That's something that is desperately lacking from the site. I hope things turn around for both of us. Good luck.

What you're describing is exactly what is happening to me as well. First 2-2.5 months my hair didn't change. The next month I could see the start of thinning at the vertex, which hadn't been affected to this point. At 4 months, my hair looked significantly worse, with the crown and...

I actually used dutasteride, but the stories are exactly the same. All I wanted was to maintain. About 2.5 - 3 months in my hair started looking worse. I shed a lot of hair and my density looks significantly diminished. I'm at the 5 month mark and the shed has tapered off, but baseline is still...

I started Dutasteride back in May, which puts me at about the 5 month mark. I started shedding at 3 months and lost a LOT of density. I would say my hair looks significantly worse than it did when I started. This really sucks because all I needed was some maintenance, not regrowth. I...

Yeah, I think that's probably the best course of action. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks Jayman. I agree. The pain is what I would call "very mild" and I've only had it for about 3 days, but my research on the subject points to antibiotics as the only real treatment, bacterial or not. Lickily there's no problem urinating, or any burning. Just discomfort when I sit for...

Nope. I've never been there. :)

I'm 28 years old and I noticed my receding hairline when I was in college (age 20). It wasn't too bad, but it was definitely visible. Very slow change for the next 8 years. A little recession, but not much. About 4.5 months ago I noticed that my crown had started to thin very slightly. I...

Hey, I saw that you had testicle pain early on. I've begun to experience some of that myself. I have a strong suspicion that it is prostatitis, did your doctor ever mention that to you?
