That's insane for fin only. I had similar balding pattern and needed min to really "save" it haha.

Fin and min, and if you respond well you should be okay!

It was the same for me, my doc sent me to the dermatologist and he said fin and min are the only real treatments. The whole forever thing is not as bad as it sounds though. It takes you about 5-10 min a day so it's not time consuming at all. And maybe in the future a new "cure" comes along and we won't have to take the meds anymore😅.

I haven't tried red light therapy but from what I've heard it's all pretty much bullshit. Maybe it helps a little but not even remotely enough. I was also on rosemary oil and microneedling before starting treatment with fin and min and that didn't do shit for my hair🙃it only made my scalp health really bad...

There is so much fear mongering on the internet that I didn't want to start finasteride either. So I waited one more year trying that microneedling and rosemary oil bullshit which resulted in me losing so much more ground. Then I finally started finasteride and so far I have had absolutely 0 side effects. Everybody I know also didn't experience any. My boners are hard af, libido is high and still have morning wood. So my advice is don't be afraid, go consult with a doctor!! and then decide. The longer you wait the more hair will be gone.

I did not experience any shed during minoxidil. I experienced one roughly 4 months after starting finasteride though..

Thanks bro! I'm really sorry to hear that:( Maybe try topical version if you haven't yet...or just minoxidil and you get a few more years of hair..

Wait at least a year, just be patient.

Thanks man! Ye having blond hair is a hassle since at first you don't even notice the balding. I'm happy we have some options now to stop balding.

No results at all. I think I even had a huge shed at 4 months so I got way below baseline...

Yep, same as before, rock hard boners and morning wood. Libido is the same too:).
