I started Propecia about 7 months ago. I am 31 and have relatively dense beard follicles, though I tend to keep a clean-cut look. Upon starting propecia, my beard growth slowed appreciably . I consider it a positive, because I now only need to shave every other day (as opposed to every day)...

Months 3-4 were absolutely miserable for me on Propecia. I shed extensively and density got really bad. Towards the end of month 4 shedding stopped (dramatically). I went from 50-70 hairs in shower to literally 2-3 hairs in shower. Stick through this phase as those hairs are being shed to...

Anecdotally, sheds on finasteride, usually result in thickening over time. You will likely see even more thickening over the next few months as the shedded hairs cycle out and the follicles grow less inhibited by dht. I see no reason why your success can't continue. If you don't see results in 6...

You have phenomenal results. Not sure what you are concerned about. You have more hair than chewbacca. I think you are being OCD at this point. You probably have 60 years of life left ... Enjoy your days and don't stress about something that only you probably perceive.

I have been on finasteride since jan 1st and also began to shed two weeks ago. I've read that a shed 12-16 weeks after starting finasteride is normal and is usually a positive sign that the treatment is working. Guess we won't really know until 12 months pass, but I'm told month 3-5 on finasteride is the toughest due...

I started finasteride + Nizoral on Jan 1st, 2012, and introduced the lasercomb two weeks later. My Doctor suggested I wait on Rogaine, pending results of finasteride @ 6 months. To be honest, I would prefer to avoid Rogaine (if at all possible), but will leave it as the nuclear option, in case finasteride can't help me...

cmf, You must feel like you really dodged the male pattern baldness bullet, and you took action just in time. My hope is you will have many years of success with nizoral + finasteride, and that you keep gaining more thickness. The 10 year study of finasteride recently released, showed continual success 10 years going, so perhaps...

Way to go! :punk: I can barely tell that you are thinning in your March 24th, 2012 picture. That is quite a reversal from where you were in 2009. It seems that you were in the relatively early stages of thinning in your first pic (i see lots of follicles in 2009, just seem they were...
