Minoxidil Shed Questions, And More Questions

[Ikarus]

When does the shed end?

I never really noticed a shed, but from what I've seen about 3 months in for most.

The shed is interesting from my experience, I’ve definitely lost some progress from the shed, but the side and back of my head is shedding the most. I can’t wait for it to end...

Do you have good results with minoxidil if you didn't have shedding when starting it?

I ask you that because iam on oral minoxidil 5mg per day since 95 days and still 0 visible shedding (but hair line is getting worse and worse)

Yes. Some people just don't see an increase in shedding. I shed a lot anyways. Always have.

Minoxidil can't really stop your hairline from getting worse if you're not inhibiting dht. Is your crown thickening up any?

I cant take finasteride since it destroyed my sex drive and erection quality in the past. I will never touch it again. My testosterone and dht levels are already very low for a male, because i fucked up with steroids abuse in the past (bodybuilding competition) . I stayed on synthetic testosterone for years, with a lot of dht compound like proviron or masteron. My hair was great when i was on roids, no signs of balding. It's when i quited that i started losing hair like crazy. Dont know why since my androgens level is now very low for a male in his 20's

No my crown is still thin like before, maybe more thin, so no progress.

I added microneedling and zix last week

I probably have DUPA hair loss by the way. Thinning everywhere but mainly at the top

You can try adenosine if you're a non-responder to minoxidil. You could also try steomoxydine and redensyl to try to spur growth. Or you could go with PGE2 or bimatoprost from China.
