Two questions about Rogaine.

I have been on Rogaine for 1 month and so far it got worse, so my question are:

1) is it normal to get worse before it gets better? The areas where I applied Rogaine twice a day in this month, are almost bald and have lost too much density and the thinning has increased drmatically. Not to name that I started shedding like a Dog. So, is this normal? Should I expect new hair to grow in those areas?

2) Can Rogaine re-grow terminal hair I lost 1 year ago?

Thanks.

thanks for the answr collegechemistrystudent

and biglemoncoke I see you have been on it since 18th august. similar to my case, i have been on it since august 13th. So I guess we are in a similar phase and similar response as me.

I wish you luck man, and I hope we can grow all what we lost so far.

Cheers.

thanks, you too man

i think shedding and thinning is a better sign than not shedding or thinning at all when u are on minoxidil. lets stay positive, i predict regrowth will show up in month 2 and 3.

Dude stay on the stuff. After three weeks the areas were I applied rogaine were almost bald! Then 2 weeks later (mid august for me) I started seeing hair. I actually have grown some short terminal hairs on my hairline and my crown is thicker. And its just been 2 1/2 months. Then again I'm also on propecia but just weather the storm and you'll be fine.

I've been on rogaine since august 14th and am going through the same stuff you are. I have noticed a lot of the hair i am shedding (im shedding tons) is thin anyhow. I look forward to this shedding phase to end.

Sounds good, guys. :)

It looks like minoxidil is working fine then. I will keep on the stuff and see what happens in the next 1-2 months. :hairy:

Greetings!

i also started rogaine on aug 14, and have since been shedding like a dog. but, i am getting regrowth along the hairline and frontal area. lots of little hairs coming in. i hope the shedding starts to slow down, and regrowth continues. best of luck to us!
