Dude we have virtually the same hair. When I started Propecia last July, mine looked about the same as yours does now. Since then it has receeded slightly more, but I think its finally come to a screeching halt and is staying about where it is. I haven't gotten much regrowth persay, but its...

Hey man, I'm almost 23 myself, also a college student, and I have about the same amount of hairloss as you do, judging by your temples (mine might be a tad worse). I've been on propecia for about 7 months now and it seems to have fully halted my loss. I've using Nizoral 1% and minoxidil 5% for...

Yea I'm also quite curious of this because rheumatoid arhtritis is pretty rampant in my family and I'm already taking medication for this.

So this stuff could speed up the possible regrowth effects of minoxidil/finasteride? Also, how much back hair growth we talkin here? I got mine waxed and it has grown back much much slower since I've been on Propecia. I don't want to put on my gorilla suit just yet.

Hey guys, I've been on finasteride for a little more than 6 months and minoxidil for a month and a half. I still have yet to experience what I would call a shed. The most hairs I've seen lost in the shower is maybe 20 or so, but this has rarely happened. I usually only lose 5-10 in the shower... Is it a...

My mom's dad had started losing some hair by the time he died (late 60's), but he didn't lose anything until his mid-late 50's. Also my mom's brother is 60 and he has a full head of hair, no grey or anything. My dad's side is a little more interesting...my dad started losing his hair in his...

Hey man, I'm 22 and have been on finasteride for 5 1/2 months now and I've had ZERO sides...my libido is as good as ever (I've actually had some of the best sex of my life when I've been on finasteride). Sides happen, but they're rare. The odds are in your favor.

When I was prescribed Propecia this summer, my doctor told me to add Minoxidil at some point and then use it for 6 months. He said that anything beyond that doesn't do a lot and the Propecia would maintain minoxidil-stimulated hairs after dropping minoxidil. However, he is NOT a dermatologist, just a...

Hey man, definately do it...I'm 22 now and I wish I would've started when I was 19, could've saved some hairs up front for sure. My mother's brother is almost 60 and has no recession whatsoever, almost a full head of hair. I'm 22 and I have a pretty bad receeding hairline...so...yea...I'm...

I remember my doctor was very adament about me keeping the actual propecia pills away from any pregnant women, saying, "pregnant women shouldn't even be in the same room as propecia pills because even touching them can cause birth defects." He didn't say anything about being with girls while...

Yea I'm also trying to turn my "U" back into a "V"...I've got a slight bit of fuzz on the temples that definately completes the V, but its only noticable close up (I've only been on treatment for a few months though). I feel you guys on the V-mission...

I've been on finasteride for about 5 months now and I just started minoxidil about a week and a half ago... My question for you guys getting regrowth is, do you apply 1mL over all the temples/front/hairline, or do you use, say, 1mL on the left temple, 1mL on the right, etc? I hope that question makes...

I think that's definately right...alot more of it is environmental than we think. I know Asians specifically have a much much lower rate of hairloss in Asia than the ones in say, the U.S. People always cite the rural Japanese, their healthy diet and almost 0 incidence of hairloss. I read an...

I was reading some articles about DHT and realized that while it destroys the hair on our head, it causes other body hair growth. Now I'm personally a hairy little gorilla...only 22 and got vines creepin' over the shoulders and stuff. I was one of those kids who started shaving in 6th grade...

Ok here are some pics I took a few weeks ago, right at month 4 of Propecia. I'm new to the pic thing, so I forgot a couple and I don't have anything to compare really to yet, but I will next month when I hit month 5 and take better pictures. http://www.sarcastic-horse.com/hlh2.htm
