After 7 Months Of Debating If I Have Made Any Progress On finasteride, These 2 Pictures Offer Hope

[g.i joey]

So, as you guys probably know, im approaching 7 months on propecia come April 5th. For those unaware, ive taken the drug prior for no longer than 5 months. Well, last august i went to miami with some friends and wanted to take a solid break from propecia, just to let my hormones balance and also to gauge my libido once my hormones hit their normal levels. I did expect to take a bit of a loss from this break and i did. So today i realized i have a bunch of pics of my hairline from before/after vacation and realized i have what i can consider a "baseline" pic. This picture was taken 5 days into getting back on my propecia regimen, the picture dated "2016-09-10" is my baseline pic. One of my temples went full nw3 and i seem to have recovered it , I never expected a miracle from finasteride but always expected for it to give me at least some minor thickening. Sooooooo, what do you guys think, obvious improvement? The picture im comparing baseline too is the one titled "2017-03-25". Please leave me your most honest feedback!

@g.i.joey,

You have thick hair.

Hate to say this, but you should probably stop micro dosing.

And do this fast. There isn't much if any improvement. But the right side looks
like it's losing ground.

You think so? My hair was a lot shorter back from vaca and I also have minoxidil morning hair in my most recent, I feel like my temples have actually recovered and you're telling me theyngot worst? Why do you say that?

EDIT: I also take finasteride 5x a week at 1mg wouldn't really call that a micro dose

From the viewpoint that I have, from the camera:

The left temple - seems to have gotten a bit higher i.e. worse
The right temple - perhaps a little bit better?

I know what you're saying about the temple that looks worse, that chunk of hair there was super short back then so it just kinda folded back, now I can actually pull it back cause it's a little longer, which is what I think you're seeing... although i do agree it doesn't look as good, but lighting is a lil diff too. I know for certain tho my right temple doesn't go as far back anymore...

Overall, I'm content with knowing finasteride is actually doing something! Hopefully I can achieve an actual aesthetic difference by the time I hit the 1 year mark.

The light is a lot harsher on the second pic.

 

[Roberto_72]

What do you say is the left temple and the right temple? Are you looking at the left in the picture or at the left from the user's side?

 

[michel sapin]

for me there is certainly an improvment in your left temple . And the lightning is really harsh in the second pic . So you have improved . i think that you will maitain this current state .
Your crown is still fine ?

Maybe it's just me. I think the right temple has gone back a little further. Then again, maybe not.
