Hey guys! I've been counting the weeks and number 24 hit today. I just posted some pics. So far, so good. I feel like it looks a little better in real life than what the pics display.

Well it appears to be growing, but i guess your case will take more time to see a dramatic cosmetic difference.

It is getting there, your going to have to give this one a year or so - my bet is they will come in slowly but consistently and then thicken. Keep it short like you just did and it will look great and chicks will dig it .

Best of luck.

I know how it is... I'm just like you and i'm 6 months out too.

TakingthePlunge,

Sometimes looking at photo examples of other patients who have large quantities of hair growing in even at 4 months can be discouraging when you're at 6 months and not seeing as much growth. However, while some patients are very early growers, some can be later bloomers. Honestly, I wouldn't even consider you a late bloomer yet since so much can change over the next couple of months.

All I can say is, take confidence in that you chose and excellent surgeon, hang in there and trust the process.

Keep us posted.

Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your comments. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. A but also know that there are many factors involved and there are no guarantees. We can only try to sway the odds in our favor by our choice of doctor and following post-op instructions, etc.

During my consult, Dr. Alexander had told me that I had excellent hair and scalp quality and that I could expect to see good things around six months so I was hoping for the best case scenario. I'm aware that the best anyone can probably tell me at this point is "wait" but I do appreciate the collective knowledge that our community has to offer and welcome any discussions and input.

Don't worry. I was way behind the curve at six months, and I'm now approaching a year, and I'm in much better shape. Slow growers are very underrepresented on the blogs, but we do exist. My transplant took off at around 7/2 - 8 months. I know how nerve racking it is, but hang in there.
