I have been on propecia and rogaine for 11 months now.. I seem to go through phases where my hair looks frail and thin for a couple months, then looks great for 3 weeks or so..This has been happening ever since I started treatment. Going into my 12th month, my hair seems to look really bad..Itching, hair easily comes out when i shampoo or apply rogaine foam Im hoping its a shedding phase and I will recover. I guess im just wondering if my hair is always going to shed and look frail more than it looks good? Will it ever stabalize?. I know ell enopugh that I need to wait this out, but does hair typically look frail and weak through a shedding phase?..Thinking of maybe starting Dutas soon..Maybe Propecia just isnt gaining enough ground..

One thing I think worth mentioning is I usually shave my arm hairs..I have noticed that when hair is growing back on arms, certain hair follicles seem not to be growing..I can see the hair starting to come out, but it is not as long as the other ones on arm. I dont know if this has any relation to the hair on my head or not, but I thought it was weird that my arm hair is not all growing at the moment...Could this be a anagen phase? If anyone has some advice, please share..

And I switched to using liquid rogaine at night in the past 30 days as well..Dont know if this has caused a bigger shed than normal..Hair looks horrible right now.

Wow. Im going through the EXACT same thing right now. I have been on Propecia for around 3 years but Rogaine Foam for the hairline and crown for just 10 months. Im shedding massively right now, my right temple seems to be destroyed. Worse ive ever seen it in my history. Yet just a week or more ago, I looked in the mirror and thought to myself WOW this is the best my hair has EVER looked! This kinda thing has happend alot in my hairloss journey. Ive been to the very bottom where i just thought it was all over and within a matter of months or even weeks my hair is thicker than ever! Right now im in a low, lower than EVER before, I fear i may not come out of this one :(

So yeah i sypathsize with you man. Just hang in there. Its tough but you just gotta take the good with the bad and ride this one out and hope things improve in a few weeks. Its a roller coaster, no doubt about that. In the mean time dont think about to much.

Good luck bro :)
