hello all,
just wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone for posting continued success stories, it really help me make the decision to start my regimen and i'm glad i did.
I started losing my hair around the time i was 21, i remember going through a bad break up and getting a haircut and just thinking holy crap, my hair line is receding by the hour. i dont have any close up pics from that time, but i can tell you that since then, it seemed to recover about a year after my initial loss. I came back to baseline which i will provide a picture of, but since then it has steadily not only receded more, but has been thinning out a lot. I'm currently 26, so this is a 5 year timespan.
I made the decision almost two months ago, on 11-11-13 to start finasteride and rogaine, i went to the Doctor and got rx for finasteride 1.25/day in addition to alternating rogaine twice a day to once a day, ive tried to do it twice a day consistently but most days ill forget and only do it once, so its averaged to probably 3 times per two days. However, the finasteride i have been taking as directed.
It has been almost two months so far and while i felt like my hair was thicker, i had to compare pictures to be sure. If you look closely at my bald spots, you can see the new hair sprouts starting to come in, to me, its very obvious and others have agreed after looking at the pictures. I know i'm not out of the woods yet and have a long time before full effects are seen, but its nice to see some results already. Let me know what you guys think. I will keep updating as I see changes. Thanks!!
First picture will be from me when i was about 21
Second will be about 2.5 years ago (i'm sure i will catch hell about this pic but it was for my girlfriend when we got our new puppy, it was the best pic i had close up of that showed where my hairline was at that time)
Third is from 11-11-13
Fourth will be present day.
