Started Propecia (pictures) Not Sure If My Hair Loss Is Normal?

[ahmeda]

So to rewind I was on Propecia from the age of 19-28 with a few break and I think during that time I held out pretty well but did not track it with pictures.

I went off it for 2 years after reading stories online that scared the crap out of me so I avoided even googling Propecia. I noticed my hair loss getting worse so I took a deep breath and researched it properly again, spoke to Boots, a GP and then realising I over reacted. Then I looked at my own experience from all those years and the only sides I experienced was penis numbness and tingle sensation that would last a few days.

The main side I experienced was watery semen. When off propecia for 2 years my semen went back to being thick.

So I am now on week one of Propecia (first 3 pills was EOD to ease myself in) now taking it every day.

My family history..... basically everyone is norwood 7 on both sides of the family.

I am 30 and manage to cover up pretty well with good gel and nanogen.

My Routine is :

Propecia, Kirk minoxidil foam 5% every morning, revivogen at night, hair vit pills and lazer comb 4-5 times a week.

3 questions :

Does anyone have a similar type of hair loss to me?

Considering hair transplant in 2 years but would I be a good candidate?

Is watery semen normal ?

Looks like a fairly unusual pattern to me. Typical pattern for female pattern hair loss, but some men do lose hair in that pattern.

And watery semen is probably the most common side effect experienced on finasteride.

Thanks. When I was at Boots getting my propeica they showed me a picture and asked what norwood scale I was on but I don't fit on any of them as it is more female type of hair loss now.

So trying to work out if I would even be a good candidate for a hair transplant ?

I actually doubt that most of the finasteride users even notice their semen is watery.

Did you loose most of the hair in the two years off finasteride? Or slowly since you were 19?

This is what the transplant depends on.
If finasteride completely stops more hairloss for you you can do a transplant.

It was the female pattern type hair loss very very slowly since 19. I think propecia may have stopped it. When I stopped Propecia, I was fine for 1.7 years, no real difference but then after that I noticed the gaps getting slightly bigger and more miniaturisation at the front.

Hmmmm so when I mean watery I mean its still white but a bit more runny rather than thick. Sorry about going into detail, just trying to find out what other peoples opinion on semen while on propecia is?

Going back to my hair loss, its basically a strip down the middle of my head that is thinning out as you can see. Anyone else know of this female style of hair loss?

Also what vits are best to take for hair? I am looking to improve my regime further.

1 month and 1 week, the shedding has started to increase. I guess that is a good sign.

What other things do you suggest I add to my regime. any additional vits?
