My experience of hair loss is that there is no bottom to it. I keep thinking it can't get worse and then it does. I'm a diffuse thinner with a fairly clear Norwood 5-ish pattern. I have retrograde too. I am a pull tester though and I'm finding I can pull too many hairs too easily at the top of my sides, it seems like diffusion is spreading downwards a little bit. I'm 37. I've been banking on the trope that SUPER aggressive balders reach 6 and 7 Norwood class early. I am on propecia since summer 2016.

What are peoples opinions of where balding cuts off on the sides? Sometimes I see people with really clear lines of demarcation and other times its kind of jagged. If I lose Norwood 5 status ...its just over.
