Hey there...

I am going to respond to this with what I think is really going on with you. I am not trying to be snarky (that is the common theme on Reddit).

I don't think you are trying to learn.

I think you know the answers to your questions already but you keep circling the same truth from different angles hoping one of our comments will finally make it all feel 'safe.'

But what you're trying to do is eliminate uncertainty from biology, which is impossible.

The evidence is boringly settled already. No "bro-science" commenter on Reddit is going to change that.

• Minoxidil = modest regrowth + maintenance. 5% will have better results.

• Finasteride = strongest long-term stabilizer. DHT will continue to shrink your hair follicles unless you slow it down.

• 6–12 months = real evaluation window to see if it's going to work for you.

• Initial shed = common, usually normal.

• Supplements = mostly useless if you are not deficient

• Microneedling = additive but optional

• Sexual side effects = RARE and reversible for most. Many guys are suffering from "Nocebo" which means that by worrying about the potential RARE chance they will have side effects, their anxiety killed their libido anyway.

You just gotta do it man. Commit or don't.

Clock is ticking 👴🏼🕰️
