Im definitely above baseline, but I'm a bit nervous,
Are you shedding a lot? I've been on the drug for the year and a half and I still go through random sheds (currently going through one that is a little scary). Hair is still at or above baseline so I'm not too worried. If you responded well at the start I doubt it lost it's effectiveness that quickly.
As long as you are above baseline I wouldn´t worry too much. My shedding never really stopped but the hair slowly thickened up.
Hair loss sufferers are going to have a bigger change in the appearance of hair during shedding, and also sun-bleaching. Your hair will probably start to thicken up again in Autumn/Winter.
You should continue to expect dips and dives in the appearance of your hair until it is 'stable' but even then, it can change. I've been on treatment 3 years and I distinctly remember my hair always looks worse in the summer. Some weeks my hair will be amazing then I will shed and it will look stupid again. Now, I've kinda got use to it and recently I think my hair has been the worse it has been, probably from a super shed because I've switched minoxidil foam to liquid.
