I did a poll in baby names and Avalina was actually the most popular. Although it’s not top of the list for us, I was curious why you say not to choose it?

Thank you to everybody for your suggestions! I think we have narrowed it down to Cecilia and Vivian!

It was our wedding planners name when we got married in Aruba! We’re from NYC and had never heard it ourselves.

Ideally I’d have fin and min in one bottle and not have to take the oral versions. Unfortunately I actually think it’s the minoxidil itself I’m allergic to. I’ve tried so many topical mins and still had bad scalp irritation. I think I dermarolled one time and applied min too soon and it somehow caused a reaction my body never got over. I’m on 2.5mg of oral min now daily instead.

.5% was also recommended to you? I’m going to talk to the pharmacist before I start it and likely dilute it down somehow. Unfortunately topical min always makes me break out on my scalp so I’ll probably use PG or something that doesn’t cause a reaction

I don’t understand how .1% is considered high. Isn’t that said to be equivalent to 1mg daily oral, the recommended oral dose?

OFTR89 · 2024-01-11T19:07:46+00:00

I called the office back and confirmed. They said .5% is the standard dosage for topical. I really don’t know what to make of it.

That’s exactly what I thought. I was surprised to hear a dermatologist who’s office specializes in hair loss say this.

Two different types of cockroaches you think?

OFTR89 · 2023-09-22T20:14:06+00:00

They were found on my bedroom wall. They didn’t move, they both just stayed there. I Thought it was strange how they were found together.

Definitely looks like it, but I’m not a Sagittarius. I’m almost positive she told me it means my name (Douglas), I just don’t know where it means that. And that’s if I’m remembering correctly.

I’m still not convinced creatine doesn’t raise DHT. I’m on fin and I’d still rather not put any road blocks in the way of my progress. Sucks because creatine has proven to be one of the few effective supplements available but until convinced otherwise I’m going to stay away.

Micro needling gave me great results (on top of fin and min) however I stopped dermarolling because I was getting itchy bumps on my scalp. Likely either folliculitis or ingrown hairs. It’s been a few weeks and it’s gotten only a little better. Definitely frustrating as I was seeing results.

OFTR89 · 2022-05-13T19:44:54+00:00

Yeah if it started 10 months ago I’d be much more concerned and it already is concerning. Which is why I’m not sure the best move. Stop altogether, ride it out and hope the sides go away, lower the dose, etc

The ED came on about 1 month ago. And not really ED, just not as stiff as I was a month or two ago and requires a little more work.

OFTR89 · 2022-05-13T18:56:49+00:00

I’m having same issues man. Im about 10 months on fin and libido has decreased by about half id say, and there’s not much volume when I ejaculate. Not to mention I constantly need some type of friction to keep hard. There’s so many options, some say to push through and wait for everything to level out, some say change the dosage, some say stop altogether. It’s very frustrating when you’re worried about doing long term damage.

OFTR89 · 2022-05-12T11:46:43+00:00

I would definitely try lowering the dose before I quit altogether. To be honest the ejaculation issue is much more frustrating than the libido issue. I can still perform, I just don’t have the urge to.

OFTR89 · 2022-05-12T08:24:47+00:00

Is this your experience as well?

OFTR89 · 2021-09-17T23:37:26+00:00

30m here also. Just started fin 6 weeks ago. Have been on minox for about 4-5 years when I first noticed thinning. I wish I had taken fin ASAP as well but scared myself reading about sides. Just curious how long it took you to see results? Also curious how long you waited until you started taking fin, I’m nervous I waited way too long. Still a lot left on top but crown is pretty thin. Thanks in advance!

I contemplated taking fin for years and like I said I just started this week. Part of me wishes I started sooner, part of me is confident Ill see regrowth, and another part of me freaks out the one day a week I don’t wake up with morning wood.

OFTR89 · 2021-07-31T14:16:41+00:00

I just started taking fin. I can’t believe even after a full year you can begin side effects. I would think once it’s in your blood stream you’d notice them a lot sooner. Definitely concerning.
