Well I will be adding a year update with pictures soon when I can get chance to do it.
But basically it has stopped further loss (I seemed to be losing ground very fast before i started, hairs everywhere, pillow, shower when drying my hair). I just don't see load of hair everywhere like before.
It has definitely thickened up my crown area and the crown and top scalp is much less visible.
Sadly it doesn't seemed to have done much by way of growing back my nw3 receded temples, however it has thickened up the hair line that I have.
I haven't had sides except the 'achey balls' when i first started that went away quickly, and for around 4-5 months my jizz was pretty watery, that seems to have sorted itself out now though.
All in all I'm very pleased I started, I wish I had have taken the plunge sooner because like many people, I fall in to the trap of weighing up the pros and cons for months and months. This is just time wasted! If you care for your hair and want to stop going bald then you need to get on propecia (and whilst you're waiting you probably already know you're going to get on it eventually). Think of it this way, if you hate the way your hair looks now, just remember that male pattern baldness is degenerative, 5 years down the line you'll be in a much worse position and you'll wish to hell that you did something about it when you could.
Don't believe all the hype surrounding the drug you read on the forums. There is alot of scaremongery going around and it's spread by a very small, tiny even, minority of people who have been scorned that propecia didn't work right for them and they feel that life has dealt them yet another sh*t hand and that they should devote their lives to scaring off other people from trying it.
You'll read this alot on here... once you're on it, it's a massive weight off your shoulders because you know that you are finally doing something about it and you stop obsessing about your hair. Once you stop obsessing about your hair you automatically stop coming to these forums and you get on with life as if it was before you ever knew that male pattern baldness existed.
