That's a tough one. How are you responding on minoxidil? You have been on it for over twelve weeks. If it really isn't showing any regrowth (and you should see some, even if they are small), than it might be time to reconsider.
On the other hand, if a doctor is saying the DHT level is low, maybe go with one pill every other day? Or cut it in half.
You will be the one with the results, and side effects (unlikely, but possible). Personally I think it is five percent who have permanent. Others dropped out due to side effects (gov study), but they returned to normal without ED when they quit.
My journey with rogaine is confusing. First month, heavy shedding. Month 3: great initial signs of regrowth and stability. Now, about 12 weeks I shed for a few days but it has stopped and I have thinned out and seemingly lost ground. So I really don't know.... Also to note: my crown is doing really well with constant improvement
