Yeah my hairline isn't all that bad, not NW0 but acceptable for my age, it's not something i worry about and doesn't interfere with me styling my hair etc my crown area is my only problem area, the rest of my hair is acceptable. Have you thought about a surgeon who would work with a diffuse thinning crown? i would be interested in seeing who you have researched as i hear transplants for diffuse thinning can be a bit troublesome. Im going to give my regimen of duta, 100mg of spironolactone and oral minoxidil another year. If that doesn't work my only options are either transplant or estradiol. Im also probably going to lower my dosage of oral min down to 5mg once i run out of 10mg pills as i don't think it will make much difference, i was taking as high as 20mg at one point and lowered to 10mg with no deterioration of my hair.
