Yeah it was pretty straight. All I can concentrate on is seeing the tiny circle of "non-fully-hair-covered" circle on my vertex. I kind of want to go on finasteride just from a psyche standpoint. Is what I have a "bald spot"? Can't help but going into the bathroom at work every so often and taking one...

Thanks, man. Lol yeah I think you're right - wouldn't it be funny if everyone on here was in the same room? Everyone would be looking at each other's hair. I kind of want to just pull the trigger on finasteride, though. Only thing that's holding me back are the "sides", then again, I read a post I...

Really appreciate it! Do you have a similar crown situation as well? I can never tell if mine is drastically thin or just minor...

Hello again, all! Just wanted to check in and post some updated pictures since my last post in March. If you've been following at all (all 2 pages of it) than you'll know that I have been struggling with figuring out what do about my hair thinning/loss (been on minoxidil foam for about 10 months)...

Really appreciate the sentiments, man! I don't doubt that someone will respond with a completely different and, 'less optimistic' answer, but I think the thing about these forums is to take each of them with a grain of salt. That being said, I would go as far to say that some of the people on...

Lol really? I appreciate it, but most people have told me NW2 at least. Here are some closer ones of hairline where you can see miniaturization. BTW I don't know why I'm trying make a case for my male pattern baldness......pure insanity...but still.

What's up everyone? Just wanted to share some, i guess, "progress" pics (if you even want to call them that). As I stated back in December, I've been on Rogaine foam since September. I'm not sure if it's done anything at all to be honest. All I'm seeing is miniaturization on my hairline...

I'm confused. Are you implying that's good or bad?

Thanks mr_robot. Yeah, definitely freaking out about that. Hopping the finasteride + Mino will at least maintain for 10 years (god willing). When I add finasteride I was also thinking about adding Nizoral 2%. I believe they call it "the big 3", yes?

That was my other main concern. I play hockey and train in the gym pretty vigorously. Since finasteride is slowing the production of testosterone, I was always worried it would make me lazier in regards to training, and make me more lethargic when it comes to my workouts. Has anyone had any side effects...

Bro, you're awesome -- appreciate the stat plot. Thank you! Thanks, man. Yeah I agree, the hormone thing urks me. At this point I'm more concerned with my crown. I hear finasteride will at least make it somewhat thicker/ maintain. True? I think I'm gonna try just applying the Mino for frequently to...

Lol. Thanks for the honesty. Part of me always knew that. I guess what I'm asking is: How severe, and in terms of a timeline, how advanced are we talking (me being 28)? Yes, I know it varies from person to person. Does .5mg of finasteride make the side effects less noticeable?

Thanks for your response! Makes sense. The interesting thing about the crown thinning is that I don't seem to be shedding from that area. When I run a comb through my hair it seems to only come from the frontal regions. I've been thinking about going on finasteride for a couple months now, but there's...

Thanks for the response! Yeah it does look to be thinning a bit. I'm curious, does any of the apparent thinning have anything to do with the pronounced spiral pattern of my crown in that it just "appears" to be thinning? Also, if there is in fact minor thinning, is it a sign that it will be...
