Hi guys, last time I posted here was a few months back lol. Thought I would give an update on how finasteride has been for me and show pictures so you guys can tell me if you see any improvements (I know it can take up to a year to see regrowth , if I am to have any that is).
Started finasteride on July 2018, .50 mg every day. Other supplements I use are : multivitamin , zinc , cod liver oil , biotin 10k mg . I am 26
Side effects:
First month - nothing at all
Second month - dull testicular pain lasted for two weeks, it would come and go. Accompanied by slight nipple tingling which lasted about two weeks also.
Third month - ball ache was no longer there at all, sensitive nipples came and went occasionally, I suffered from watery seamen for a month and a half from the third month.
Fourth month - only watery seamen and nothing else
Fifth month - seamen was no longer watery but the quantity was less , although I was having sex frequently at this point so it could be that.
Sixth month (present) - sperm is literally back to normal , no other sideffects.
During all these months my libido had actually increased ALOT , it is still pretty high.
As for my hair , I can say that during the first two months I started shedding a lot of small hairs, after that it felt like I was loosing considerably less amounts of hair in the shower etc...
The only concern I have is that my crown is now worse , but this is the shortest I have cut my hair for over a year so it could be that I am noticing my crown now more. As for my hairline recession I feel like it might have receded SLIGHTLY over these six months. So although my shedding has decreased I am not sure if finasteride is actually halting my hairline recession.
Crown 6 months in (don’t have any before pics for crown , it seems a lot worse though, but like I said my hair was a lot shorter at this point.
Thinning looks a lot worse with the flash on (lol)
Last crown pic (how on earth did it get worse while on finasteride lol)
Hairline:
Right side of hairline a month into finasteride , my hair was MUCH longer then, if that makes a difference.
Right side again a month in
Full hairline, left side is much worse than the right.
Right side (present day), can’t really tell any difference.
Full hairline (present day) , hairline on the left looks worse or the same
Left side only.
I feel like my hairline is the same or has maybe worsened slightly, my crown however is definitely worrying me.
