Still defo loosing hair, nearly 10 months in.

What do you guys recommend?

Do I wait till 12 months to start using minoxidil or do I start now

Or use something else?

Have you considered switching to Dutasteride? It is approved for male pattern baldness in South Korea and Japan at a dose of 0,5mg/day.

Not too sure dude, reading about the long term effects of dutasteride...kinda makes me not want to do it.
I think you look fine man. Look my profile. We look a bit same.
Tbh the recession/ thinning of my hairline has com on pretty rapidly within the last 3 month. I don't know if this will regrow/ rethicken. Worried about the speed at which its going at

10.5 months on finasteride. Hair line is still receding, don’t know what to do

Are there any topical anti androgens I can get/ make?

Would it be worth adding minoxidil?

Conscious that Breezula is set to potentially come out in the next 3 years so my aim is to retain using drugs with the fewest side effects until then.

Would really love some advice.

Idk dude, I hear a lot of bad stories about it in terms of what it does to people’s hair and long term side effects?

Personally, I think people overreact... You should at least give it a go, and maybe even try spironolactone? On 100MG of spironolactone, I experienced no side effects whatsoever besides decreased libido... I'm on 200MG and am experiencing a few side effects, but nothing of the extreme (the people on this site who have used spironolactone + dutasteride didn't either).

Do you take it topically or orally?

Finasteride doesn't help your hairline...

But it’s the fact it’s not stopped the recession

I mean, finasteride is one of the weakest hair loss medications. It could be just slowing down the rate of losing hair.
