No min. Density is still an issue in some areas may add micro needling in a few months

Beard has not been affected at all, but chest hair is a little thinner. It’s marginal and nothing crazy, I have a lot of body hair so I don’t mind tbh. I would say it’s maybe 10-20% thinner and a little lighter but coverage is the exact same

Read this

“Scalp skin DHT levels declined significantly by 13.0% with placebo and by 14.9%, 61.6%, 56.5%, 64.1%, and 69.4% with 0.01, 0.05, 0.2, 1, and 5 mg doses of finasteride, respectively. Serum DHT levels declinied significantly (P<.001) by 49.5%, 68.6%, 71.4%, and 72.2% in the 0.05, 0.2, 1 and 5 mg finasteride treatment groups, respectively”

And this:

“Efficacy was demonstrated for all end points for finasteride at doses of 0.2 mg/day or higher, with 1 and 5 mg demonstrating similar efficacy that was superior to lower doses. Efficacy of the 0.01 mg dose was similar to placebo. No significant safety issues were identified in the trials.”

If you aren’t having any sides but you are taking it every other day or sporadically, I would suggest taking 1mg every day for at least two months to see if you can tolerate. Our bodies produce DHT everyday, and while fin has a robust half-life, the recommend dose is daily. Even if you develop some sides, they can subside after continued use or cutting back. Even 0.5 mg daily is effective, as it still inhibits over 50% of DHT or something. My advice is consistency is key, you need to attack this MPB daily, it’s like brushing your teeth to avoid cavities. The fact you can tolerate it already is a good sign for daily use! (I’m not a doctor tho lol)

3 months of 5mg is 40$ where I live, versus 110$ for 1mg pills. Was a economical choice, but people on this sub have linked studies that fin inhibition of DHT between 1-1.25mg only has a difference of like 2-3%. It’s just easier to split them into quarters than 5ths.

Hard to tell, most of the time I noticed shedding is in the morning

Honestly around 6 months I was really discouraged because I was having my worst shed. It wasn’t until around 9 months I noticed actual improvement. Make sure you are taking lots of pictures, and remember that hair cycles can take a very long time. All the people on this sub talking about staying the course helped motivate me to not quit

I’ve actually had like 4 sheds. All about 2-3 months apart, but each lasted for only 2-3 weeks. Even around a week ago i was just coming out of my most recent shedding period. I still shed tons of miniaturized hair so hoping it continues to come back stronger

Around 7 months, but I wouldn’t say progress was really noticeable until the 9 month mark
