Ok, sounds weird- but i could have sworn i was losing more hairs using m. than without. Was this probably just a shred caused by the m. and i should keep at it as long term it will eventually pay off??

thanks

ps was reading on another site that using m. on the front was causing frontal loss??

FAA,sounds weired??,no not at all,if you have just started use of min/reg in the last 4 weeks or so you will be going through a shedding phase,its a process were you are clearing the decks so to speak of hair that was due to fall out shortly and be replaced,min/reg is not great on the temple area and IMO not that great full stop ,i was a user of it for 4 years and it only made my hairloss worse,if you go over to the hair transplant thread you will find posters PB and saf who will say the same as i do.
the best thing i can say to you again IMO is dont use the stuff if your not already on it get on pro/fin,it will/should halt further loss and can improve you hairloss,i have been on pro for 3 years now and only wished i had done it from the start.

ive been on finn for last 13 months, and as i am only a norwood 2ish its hard to see whether its made much of a difference. Ive been taking pics since august now so i can compare.

I cant believe so many people are saying minox makes it worse when its been approved??

It's all about money, the crooks approving all this crap usually have shares in the companies selling the stuff.

i used some minox last night, had a bath this morning (inc washing my hair) and i must have had 60 hairs in the bath afterwards. I must say the finna must be working as i'd be bald by now and im still a norwood 2.

Im still thinking about going on dut only. Arent you on dut PB?

I'm not on anything. I'm going to get a second HT to cover as much as I can with my remaining donor supply and if the area I'm not able to cover (crown) goes, so be it (well it's just about gone anyway).

my back-up plan is just going shaven as ive got a masculine face- only problem is that i hate my ears and i may have rhino(cant remember the rest of the name) to change the shape of my ears. Its only the fact my ears stick out slightly that prevents me, but this is easilly sorted i believe.

Do you find "bulking yourself up" takes away the attention from your face/hair?

I also have problem ears - they stick out and are often red I don't have the kind of face that would suit a shaved head either so shaving wasn't an option for me. I also looked into getting my ears pinned back but I would need a nose job, lipo suction, and a jaw implant to get that masculine face, so I opted for a HT so that I can keep my hair long enough to blend my ears in to my head.

I haven't managed to bulk myself up enough for it to be noticeable enough to take the attention away from my hair - I think you would have to be an official body builder to do that, which would mean taking steroids etc. which in turn would cause even more hair loss.

oh i dont mean THAT big, i just mean generally big shoulders and arms lol

hey im on 1.66mg of finnasteride daily now. I think the hairloss has slowed- its just as ive only changed to this doseage in august its hard to tell. plus im only just taking pictures.

Oh, by "bulked up" I thought you meant something like this:
