Re: 4 1/2 months on my 'big 5', absolutely thrilled! (with pics)
I bought a 2% box of Rogaine from the pharmacy about a year ago. But I never used it. A few months ago when I ordered the 5% Rogaine online it only came with a dropper, but I still had the spray nozzle from the 2% bottle...I just tried to twist it on and thankfully it worked.
So if you're looking for a spray nozzle for your Rogaine, you might be lucky if you buy a 2% bottle.

I intentionally cut my hair really short as I started the treatments, so that if there were a shed I didn't even want to notice it too much. I really didn't want to deal with the demoralization of it. So to answer your question, I probably did shed at the beginning, I just didn't allow myself to notice or stress about it.
Right now almost 5 months in, I have noticed that some of the fine hairs are falling out a bit. Not sure if they're supposed to be replaced by newer, stronger hairs or not. Gonna wait it out and see.
Other than that, no side effects...I think I'm even more potent than I was before even starting the propecia :woot: not sure how that's even possible.

Thanks for the support! All I can say is you gotta tough it out through the shed, like you said. After about another month or two, take a close look at the very front of your hairline, if you see some baby sprouts that you've never seen before...then you're golden, and the stuff is definitely working...
good luck!

It's just a supplement, I doubt it played any integral part. Same thing with the multivitamins, same thing with the Omega-3...I just take these things for general good health. The linchpins are definitely Propecia and Rogaine...those make the most difference.

That comb is crazy expensive
That comb is crazy expensive
So I'm at the 6 month mark, paid a visit to my hair restoration clinic to have some of those super magnified images of my hair taken. They liked what they saw, many of the fine hairs have gotten thicker, and some of the clogging of the pours has opened up.
At about the 5 month mark, just a little bit before that, I started shedding :hmmm: I gotta tell you, it's a bit demoralizing. The one thing that kept me in comfort is that all the hairs that have been shedding are pretty small and pretty fine. I'm not 100% sure bit I take that as a good thing...maybe someone can clarify that for me? I definitely don't see any full grown, healthy hairs being shed. I hope all the fine ones that are falling out will be replaced.
But I'm definitely still pluggin' along. Still on the propecia, still on the rogaine and the other supplements. The laser comb I've been a bit inconsistent with simply because it's summer, and I leave the house A LOT and someone those 15 minutes I need to use the comb in can get lost in the shuffle. But I promised myself I'll go back to being consistent with it again.
To answer the questions about the comb, I honestly don't know how much of my success can be attributed to it. But hey, I have been shedding since I've been on and off with it, so take that for what it is! It is pretty expensive to be honest, but when I first started the hair loss treatment I really wanted to try everything possible all at once.
