Hairline recession? Norwood?

Hello everyone, I've been on Big 3 for about 6 months now and it seems to be working. I went through a decent shed last week so hopefully there will be some more regrowth.

Anyway, looking at pics before my hair loss started, I think my hairline is pretty much the same. I don't think I've recessed any further although I've lost density which isn't too obvious in the pics. What do guys think, same hairline? And am I NW1?

EDIT: Added pics of my hair before I started big 3, click all the pics to make them bigger.

I don't understand, why did you start treatment? You were/are NW1.

I've added pics of before I started treatment so you can my diffuse thinning and so you don't think I'm crazy :)

btw, you were the first person that responded to my thread 6 months and told me to get on big 3.

You have diffuse thinning more like a female. When you have that you don't fit so perfectly on the Norwood scale. I have the same thinning pattern as you mostly centrally in the front. Hopefully the big 3 will thicken those areas up.

How long have you been on Big 3 and have you saved your hair?

EDIT: I was inebriated :)

I used hair treatments like the big 3 for about 5 years now and it has helped maintained somewhat but I would say its not enough for me to be happy. I started out with more hair than you in your photos but the treatments failed to keep what I had simply because they don't work well at the hairline. I eventually will get a FUE hair transplant to thicken it back up.
