I've been on Propecia since the beginning of this year, and have been using Rogaine Foam for 4 months, mostly on my hairline. The hair specialist I've been seeing told me I should start noticing hair growth results at around this time. I really haven't noticed any difference, but I'm not too concerned about that. I have enough hair that lack of regrowth really isn't much of an issue for me, at least not yet.

However, I'm starting to wonder if my hair loss might be getting worse. I seem to notice a few more hairs coming out of my head than before, usually when I run my fingers through, or when applying the Rogaine. Often, they are the really thin, fine hairs, but not always. Sometimes they look to be of normal thickness. I know Rogaine can cause shedding, but in my case, it doesn't seem severe enough to be a shed. I don't have a pile of hair on my pillow when I wake up in the morning, and there really isn't a visible difference in my hair's appearance. So I'm not sure--am I shedding, or is my hair loss simply getting worse, despite efforts to treat it?

It might be a delayed reaction from the Propecia... If you're at the 8 month mark I'd think you'd have seen shedding before from Propecia, no? If not, it's probably from that.
