    Watery semen, less of it and balls aching...

    In my experience, these all go away with time. I definitely noticed a lot less semen at first and then it went back to normal after a couple of months.

    kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 4 month update

    I never posted last months pictures because my haircut looked so bad. I'll be getting another one in a couple of days and posting the pics. I'm not sure where I'm at right now. My hair is getting long so it's not looking great, but my sides aren't bulging out anymore which is a good thing...

    kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 4 month update

    Well, I don't know. It looked great pre-haircut but post-haircut, it doesn't seem to look as dense as last month. The person who cut it did a very poor job this time though, so that may be it. You can tell that the hair is longer in some areas because there is an overlap. My head looks like a...

    Apply Rogaine to Full Hair of Head?

    The difference between finasteride and minoxidil is that if you do a study with minoxidil and have a treatment group and a control group for a certain number of years, the treatment group will have the same density as the control group when they stop taking it. If you do the same study with finasteride...

    kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 4 month update

    I took Accutane as a teenager and had really bad side effects. I was turned off of finasteride for that reason and I didn't think it was worth it to use other stuff without finasteride. I did try minoxidil when I was 18 or so but I wasn't consistent because it made my hair so greasy.

    kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 4 month update

    I started minoxidil about two weeks after, so yeah basically. I haven't been taking Biotin/MSM consistently so my hair hasn't really grown out enough for a haircut, but I'll post month ~5 updates in a couple of weeks.

    kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 4 month update

    I had to renew my driver's license today and there is such a huge difference. I had to post it. What makes it so shocking is that I was exactly FOUR years younger in the picture on the left and never started on any hair loss medications until five months ago. The reason it looked like I had a...

    Diffuse Patterns and finasteride

    Have you thought about adding minoxidil? I'm around the same age/pattern and I'm using the Big 3 with great success. I attribute most of the regrowth to minoxidil as the research suggests that finasteride has little effect before month 3-4. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=72521 If you haven't taken pics of...

    Can male pattern baldness cause lateral/side thinning?

    I have this too. Has anyone ever lessened it with Propecia or minoxidil?

    kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 4 month update

    I've looked into it, but I think I'd be worried about missing a spot one day or running out, etc. We'll see where I'm at in a couple of months.

    Normal hair loss? On the side of head? Telogen Effluvium? Diffused? HELP

    Mine is thinning at the sides as well and I definitely don't have Telogen Effluvium. It's right behind the sideburns.

    Thinners and Minoxidil

    I apply 2mL per application. I drop a little bit on all parts of the scalp and massage it in lightly for a few seconds. I just do it to keep the liquid contained within the affected area.

    Thanks for the support :) Here are some more post haircut pictures (god it looked terrible before) Overall, it's worked much better than I thought it would.

    Initial shedding from starting rogaine or finasteride

    I'm pretty sure that most of those who say they never regrew their hair did not take before and after photos. I have had amazing success on the Big 3, but if I didn't have before and after photos, I would only say that I had mild success because it's such a slow process. Others probably stopped...

    kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 4 month update

    Re: kc444's story (24/advanced diffuse) 2.5-3 month pics Well, the MSM/Biotin has been making my hair grow really quickly so I was going to wait until I got a haircut this week to post again, but I got bored today and the results are pretty astounding so far. Month 4 on finasteride, 3.5 on minoxidil...
