Holy **** man that's incredible! How aggressive was your hairloss before you suppressed it with finasteride?
Ups and downs over the last 20 years (I to suffer from telogen effluviums) but basically they stayed the same.
As I said in my previous post, starting February of this year, I began thinning at the frontline.
I never suffered from aggressive baldness.
The decision to start early was dictated by the awareness to become very ugly without hair (and I'm still convinced about that...)
So, by the first episode of slight thinning, I decided to go with min and finasteride (plus nizoral after a while).
Seeing all my relatives now with hair problems, I guess that was a good choice.

At what age did you start losing your hair?
At 23 the problems started
At 24 I pop the first Propecia pill

Did it regrow anything or kept it where it was?
Your hair is literally Propecia goals.. What do you think your hair would be like if you never treated it based off your family?
Nope
Nice to find someone who has been on it as long as me, but I've got to be honest, I don't think finasteride is the reason for having hair that thick. How bald were you when you started taking it? Are you sure you were going bald? That's amazing if it's just Proscar keeping your hair.
I could say it kept what I already had.
I lost ground just lately a little bit.
My father is a Norwood 4-5 and his brother a nw4 with diffuse thinning
By my mother side Norwood 3 to 4 is the norm
I do not think I would have what I have without fina.
Now I'm pretty sure about that
I remember the first visit with the derm.
He said: "hey, do not worry too much, in a decade the worst you can expect is to end up like me".
I petrified: the guy was a nw4 to be optimistic!
Then and there I started thinking to go with the big guns.

You have great hair man. I don't think you'll go bald if you stay on finasteride (not before 60s that is as hair loss after 59 is not necessarily androgen related).
Congrats on the result.
Look at that hairline! Congratulations. Your hair is amazing, especially for a 44 year old man.

No I had one way back when and it was done at Bosley, which was a total hack and I'm pretty sure most of them didn't take. The ones that did take I'm not sure if they're growing anymore but yes, I've had one transplant way back when. I did a second but it was only on the sides, tough to explain but mostly in the temple area ( like to the left and right of my eyes) and back along where the horseshoe is. The temple was the only place I could still see thinning happening. So, no, never a 3rd. That's actually another option but the results I've seen from my 1st , I don't think I'm a good candidate for transplants, although they have new ways of doing it now. Oddly, I don't remember ever considering a 3rd transplant.
I dont think this story is that amazing. I think a lot of men out there had a similar experience just no reason to ever come here. Why would you? You never know for sure, but im willing to bet propecia is the reason you still have pretty much all your hair. Tell that to all the people that say its not worth trying
