Hey guys, I've posted a few times on this forum.
My situation is that I started on Finastride 6 months ago. 3 months in, I felt good and something was happening.
I do every 3 months, checkups with the Dr who specializes in hair and does transplants, and he examines my hair and compared to the first time I went to the clinic, the 2nd and the 3rd time there is proof with his zoomed in lens that there are "darker" shafts of hair growing rather then "light red pigmented" shafts that on my first time.
However in the last month I definitely feel my hair is at the worst condition it has ever been. It started off for me with concerns on my left temple, now I feel my hairline is receding and I can see further into my scalp. Styling my hair is a nightmare and I know these things as for example before a month ago, I would just need to use a little concealer on my left temple. Now I have to use concealer/fibres in my hairline too.
Before I think of what to do next (Maybe transplant which I can't really afford right now) I wanted to know if this is an ok sign, if I should be patient, if is this a shedding situation I'm going through which potentially means new hairs may grow in its place?
Routine is 1mg table a day Finastride / 2x a day Minoxidil Kirkland foam

In the pictures attached on purpose I have divided my hair to expose more obvious and also I have zoomed in the angle to show really obviously the temple and hairline front
Any advise from someone with experience with Finastride would be appreciated, really hate this feeling of looking in mirror
