Welp. Crown loss has started. I never experienced finasteride sides, nor did I ever shed, nor do I really notice shedding hairs but my crown is thinner and starting to be noticeable.
Guys I know hair loss is relative and to some
of you this might anger you because you'll be like "I am so much worse...
I've been on fine for about 14 months now. No side effects to speak of, I never had them. I come from a strong family background or hairloss (except for my dad who is 55 and a nw1.1).
What started as temple recession has apparently morphed into some noticeable thinning in the crown too...
My hairline is very very similar. I also have similar straight hair. Curly headed men seem to have a leg up on covering temples whereas mine (and it looks like yours as well) hair grows straight forward. It's hard to sweep to one side without exposing the other temple worse.
With all of...
I have been on finasteride now for about 14 months +/-. I wanted to check the efficacy of finasteride in my system but am unsure what bloot tests to do.
Test?
DHt?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

It might be the engineer in me, or me smack dab in the middle of the age that just about every male in my family went bald I definitely am super keen about my hair. I would say I was a nw1.5 when I started now probbaly nw2. My hair line hasn't receeded farther back (I have a scar and a...
So let's lay out a few notes:
1.) I have been on finasteride for about a year, 1mg daily u.s. Store bought pills.
2.) no sides for me at all, no sheds etc, no regrowth, I am a nw2 with naturally fine hair
3.) I am 26
4.) I have the strongest family of balding every man on my moms side is bald bald...
So is there any correlation in susceptibility to sides on finasteride vs dutasteride?
I haven't had any sides to date really to speak of on finasteride. (Buying generic at Costco, so it's legit)
I just hit my 1 year mark on finasteride, with no noticeable improvement, and potential slightly increased hairline recession. I am a nw2. I will work on getting pictures up tomorrow (after I get a haircut for apples to apples comparison to original pics)
My question is should I consider dutasteride...
Ive been on it for 8 months. Not much (if any results) but Im a full crown of hair, fighting a nw2 hairline kind of guy. So Im realistic that I may never "see" results... and in fact not seeing anything (get worse) may be results themselves. Moms side of hair = all men BALD as **** by 40...
have you had regrowth in your temple areas as well? Ive been on finasteride for 8 months, no crown loss that I can tell, but Ive got a nw2 on a high forehead and it looks fugly. finasteride hasnt helped temples the least bit.
walmart, walgreens, cvs etc are all alot more. I too fill at costco and for some bizarre reason its like 30% the price of everyone else. I get 90 day supply 1mg for around 30 bucks. Not even worth trying to cut them for that. Costco is the only way to go
