    I'm back. Please read.

    Hi sorry for not being clear. I meant that even if the meds are very successful and keep your hair good for a very long time, say 10 years, well eventually they may well lose their effectiveness and you have nothing then to fall back on. Basically the balding may accelerate back to the rate it...

    I'm back. Please read.

    I haven't read anything about you before (dont come here so often anymore), but looking at your pics I would say that your hair looks good now, but it does look like you may have some form of hair loss in motion, although of that I cannot be certain. If you feel that the state of your hair is...

    Propecia and childbirth

    look i think its generally accepted that conceiving while using finasteride 1mg per day is safe. some peple are paranoid but so what, good for them. the more interesting question is whats the deal with Dutasteride usage and conception? Any ideas about that?

    Mature hairline or balding?

    OKNow, I recommend getting on propecia. You have great hair, but if you have noticed yourself, without doubt, that the hairline is moving back and the density is reducing, then chances are it wont just stop. For you I would say that you options are (my predicted outcomes follow): 1. take one...

    Rejected Propecia

    I think you should get on Propecia now! You are in a good position, you have great hair.One pill a day should help you maintain what you have, or at least dramatically slow further loss. If you tolerate propecia well which most people do, then you can probably look in the mirror 6-10 years from...

    can most people keep the hair they have for at least 10+ yrs

    i have been on the big 3 for 10 years, pretty much without "slacking off" as the previous poster put it. maintained hair great for 5-6 years but have seen it deteriorate dramatically since then. now at 10 year mark things are very bad. conclusion: the treatments lose their effect, finasteride doesnt...

    Propecia Past 10 Years?

    I havent been on this forum maybe a couple of years before i replied to this thread. I was just checking to see if the miracle sure was available yet. While the answer still looks to be no (although the thread about sebum and accutane looks interesting) I have to say you guys have re-newed my...

    Propecia Past 10 Years?

    Hi guys, unfortunately its near impossible to accurately say what exactly has caused my accelerated hair loss. There are a few factors to consider. About 3 years ago i switched to proscar 1/4s from propecia to save money. This was around the time i started noticing loss of volume in my hair...

    Propecia Past 10 Years?

    Been 9+ years on finasteride. 1-6 Years: Maintained my hair very well, temple recession continued over those 6 years but finasteride had the effect of making everything happen very slowly to the point where 6 years had passed, and I could pretty much hide all hair loss that had occured in that time. 6-8...

    David Beckham, now also thinning??

    Beckham is definitely losing some hair. I have noticed this for a few years now. Its getting thinner and he is receding slightly. BUT, his hair still looks great. It is so mild that I doubt any normal person would notice, but to us HairLossTalk.com'ers it is definitely detectable. I don't see that...

    Time to change yet?

    CD79, if things are going well then I think it would be unwise to change your regime. Remember you don't have to buy a year supply of finasteride all at once, so just by a few months worth and re-evaluate your situation after this time. Sounds like you are in a good place at the moment (having ridden...

    drinking and hairloss

    I found my hair always looked super thick and strong after booze binging. In fact its this whole having a family, being responsible, drinking less thing that has coincided with my hair deterioration. Go figure....

    foam disappointing 6 months in

    I think this is the key. People who start their minoxidil marriage with foam seem to love it, the reports of those who have switched from liquid are less encouraging. I had the same experience as the original poster. Was on liquid for 2 years and it was doing the trick. Switched to foam after...

    Under / on FOAM for 6 weeks

    This happened to me too. My hair deteriorated more in my 3 weeks on the foam than it has in 7 years on finasteride. I had to quit. People say it grows back but I think we all know that its easier to keep what you got than hope something grows back. Nah its not for me man. Even if it grew back somewhat...
