16 Months Back On Propecia - Regrowth Or Not Really?

[Headdy]

Hi all,
I'm back on Propecia since 16 months ago. Also Keto 2% since 4 months ago.
During that time since restarting Propecia, most of the time I kept losing hair,
Now to the point that you can see my scalp reflection.
I am a diffusing horseshoe pattern, temples are kinda bad.

In the last couple of weeks I started seeing about 3 new hairs, but it was in the lower front, almost my forehead I would say.
I do try to take pics from time to time, but it's really difficult to tell if I also have even 1 new hair on my head.

My question - If I saw 3 new dark hairs coming out on my really upper forehead, very close to my hair (or maybe even on my hairline), is it a good sign? Can I be optimistic? Does it mean I'm gonna see more hair growth on my head soon?

Thanks for any help and comment!

It is a good sign of course. However I would add minoxidil to speed up regrowth...

Thanks Roberto, I appreciate your answer.
It's exciting to finally see some results, even though my status is not so good anymore.
I just hope from now on it will only improve

I know about minoxidil. It sounds like a hassle to do once or twice a day, every day, and then have the hair wet/sticky for some time.
Or maybe if I want to apply it and go to sleep, won't it make the bed linens / pillow wet?

I don't know if I'm exaggerating. Maybe it's not as bad as I think.

If you use the formula with propylene glycol (unsure about the spelling!) it does make your hair dirty.
If you use the one without (liquid or, more easily, foam), such issues are strongly reduced.

Hi again,
As I am not sure if I truly have regrowth and possibly getting worse,
I wanted to ask for your opinion about:

1. Should start taking Saw Palmetto?
2. Your two cents on Alpecin Shampoo?

I might start taking Minoxidil soon regardless,
(My regime is Propecia 1mg/day, Nizoral Shampoo 3x/week).

Thanks,
Headdy.
