Hi Guys 
I'm new to this forum so I will give you a bit of background to myself. I am turning 28 in August and I first noticed sign of male pattern baldness about four years ago. I have a history of male pattern baldness on both sides of my family and my dad lost most of his hair in his early 20's. So I have always considered myself lucky to still have most of mine still intact. I always though I would one day join the Hulk Hogan hair club for men.
I jumped on Propecia about 10 months ago after seeing my hair getting gradually worse. I am only experiencing noticeable hair loss at the temples and hairline and have thick hair all over the rest of my head (for now!). I would say the last 10 months my hair has remained stable and improved if anything from getting a little thicker along with Nizoral 2% every 4 days.
I am now tempted to give Regaine or another Minoxidil product a try to see if I can grow back some of the hair at the hairline which I have lost. I have read previously Regaine was only tested on the top of the head and not at the hairline but I have heard success stories from others.
So I wanted to get some feedback from people who use or have Regaine before. I understand shedding is part of the process but it does still scare the crap out of me rather that I will loose lots of hairs in the short run for long term gain. I normally find 3-5 hairs on my comb after styling which I dont consider to be too bad. I have held out till now but I am curious to see what extent it works out for me.
The picture was taken today with a very strong flash I might add. Any advice, suggestions, comments or support for this newbie would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ben
