Hey guys I've been on Big 3 close to 1.5 months now and I haven't had any big sheds or side effects (except a few ball aches in the beginning) or noticeable hair growth (I know you gotta wait at least 3 months to a year to see results) but I'm wondering if its possible to bald even more before the Big 3 starts working?

Looking at my hairline, it looks like my temples have receded slightly more but it could just be in my head. I'm curious to know what the more experienced users think.

When you say "big 3" I assume you mean 1 of them is minoxidil, if that is the case then you will definitely lose hair for the first month or so, and that's repeated everywhere you read about minoxidil. The time is much longer for Finasteride. 1.5 months is not even close to enough time to see progress or gauge the effectiveness of a regimen.

I'm not on minoxidil yet, but I am taking Finasteride. My own Dermatologist and local hair transplant specialist just told me that to notice anything I need to wait through the phases of hair loss, idle, and growth when starting a new regimen, and that would take 6 months to a year.

Stick with it and give it time.

Firstly it does'nt work for everyone, and secondly 1.5 months???????!!!!

What were you expecting to wake up the next day looking like caveman ??!!

When it comes to hairloss nothing happens quickly losing it takes montha and years so why do you expect the reverse to happen in a matter of weeks?
9 months is the recommended trial time.

Thanks DHTHater, I'll of course stick with it.

If you read my initial post I said I know it takes up to a year to see results, my question wasn't about seeing growth.
