So I've been on finasteride for almost 5 months now and my hair has been getting progressively worse. I haven't exactly undergone a shed as I was basically shedding prior to starting finasteride. One thing is that my hairline hasn't exactly receded since I started but the hairline has been visibly thinning and I can feel it. I lose around 20-30 hairs a day, and these are 20-30 hairs I see in the shower and when I'm fixing my hair in the morning. I know people lose 100 hairs a day but I don't think your supposed to notice these 100 hairs like I do these 20-30.

I took some picks around my 3rd Month to see what my hair was looking like, can't say I was pleased but I was optimistic as I had seen people say they started to see differences more around the 6 month mark.

Fast forward to now and after comparing my hair to the picture it has become thinner.

Also, a month ago I went to get a haircut and for the first time my barber said my hair has become quite thin, felt quite shot about that.

these are the pics from my 3rd month

I'm still hoping that it will get better especially around the 1st year mark but I'm just worried that I'm just not responding. I was hoping that I'd at least stabilise the hairloss.

I don't know too much about it, as I am about to start finasteride myself, but could that be the dreaded shedding everyone talks about?
