Lossing hair on Propecia and regrowth?

What UP!!!!!!!!

Ok, so this may be a stupid question but here it goes. I went on the propecia website and they have their timeline for results. It states that at month 6 you should see a slow down in the loss of hair and by month 9 you should see some regrowth of the hair you have lost. (This is ofcourse for those who are good responders) Now here is my question, I thought that when you are balding that your hair keeps its growth cycle until it is a vellus hair and you can no longer notice it. If you lose your hair on Propecia, lets say for 4 months straight, at the 4 month mark the hair you lost at the 1st month should regrow and so on month after month. Now, with Propecia making a statement like "you may regrow some of the hair you have lost" does this mean that the hairs you lose on Propecia does not grow back? For the love of God, I get more confused everyday about all this regrowth sh*t. I have been shedding for about 2 1/2 months and would like to think that the hairs Im lossing will be replaced, even if they arent as thick, but if they just go away and dont come back why even be on the drug?

Later!

if youve lost hair because of propecia, it will grow back. finasteride does not harm the hair follices. it may shock them to eject early while still in the growth phase (ie shedding), but this is to make way for new hairs.

dont worry too much, and look at the long term finasteride studies, they speak for themselves.
